Flames swirling.

The fire burned down the Five Dragons Temple.

The flames rolled and swirled, billowing black smoke obscured the moon, and crackling and popping sounds came and went.

Yoon-sik and Da Niu lifted the rabbits that they killed one by one and threw them into the fire.

And Mu Shaoqing took out another wine jug out of nowhere, and looked at all this coldly from time to time.

Wang Daniu's face was indifferent, but Yunzhi saw that his hands were stained with dark red blood stains, and wiped them frantically.

He never dreamed that he would face such an encounter one day.

His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe that he had killed someone.

Mu Shaoqing, who was on the side, smiled coldly when he saw him like this: "Actually, you don't have to be like this, you just need to think that these people have imprisoned your sister, and your heart is much better!" ”

When Yun-sik heard him say this, his frightened eyes slowly began to become cold, and finally nodded in agreement.

Wulong Temple is located in a deserted village, and there are no people within a radius of more than ten miles, but the fire did not attract many people's attention at that time.

In addition, they also found nearly 20,000 taels of silver on the corpses of these people.

It's just that what they don't know is that this is the silver taels earned by selling Siyu to Tianxianglou.

It's a pity that these silver tickets, before Father-in-law Mu had time to cash them, they were handed over to others.

The so-called wealth on paper is probably like this.

Before the silver in Father-in-law Mu's hand was covered in his hand, it was taken away by Siyu's younger brother and partners.

With this money, the rest of the journey became smooth.

They hired a carriage, took Chen's mother, and arrived in the capital in less than half a day.

The inventory in the capital was not very strict, and even a little chaotic, and they didn't know what was going on.

After Mu Shaoqing's many inquiries, they got a terrible news.

It turned out that the firearms battalion, five soldiers were lost, and one of them was the general, which caused Shangfeng to be furious, and sent people out to look for him one after another.

For two days in a row, the firearms battalion in the capital was rectifying military discipline, and I heard that the emperor was also very annoyed.

The loss of soldiers in this firearms battalion is a small matter, and the five or six firearms lost in a row are the more important things.

Originally, there weren't many of these three-eyed firebolts in total.

The emperor was furious, and for a while, Jinyiwei, the fans of the East and West Factory, went out one after another to find the lost firearms.

On the contrary, the inventory at the gate of the city was loosened, plus the few that Mu Shaoqing dotted. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate simply didn't even check, so they just mixed into the capital.

And those soldiers, even if they were afraid of death, would not dare to believe that the key criminals of the Kechang case would take the initiative to come to the capital to hide.

Chen's mother, Yunzhi, Wang Daniu, Mu Shaoqing, and their entourage came to the capital and began to look for Siyu's whereabouts.

Fortunately, they had 20,000 taels of silver, so they simply bought a house and settled Chen's mother completely, and the few of them searched for a green house and a green house.

……

At this time, Siyu was recuperating in Tianxianglou, and her tongue was not lightly injured, which also made Xiao's shopkeeper and Feng's mother understand her temper, and they didn't dare to be her.

Moreover, Tianxianglou is a first-class gold cave in the capital.

Those ordinary Qinglou women, if they don't have extraordinary talent and knowledge, it is difficult to gain a foothold here.

On the contrary, those women who were only engaged in the skin and meat business fell to the lower floors, and they couldn't even touch the edge of Tianxianglou at all.

The inferior Qinglou can't survive in Yanliu Lane at all, and almost all the Oiran in Yanliu Lane comes from Tianxianglou every year.

Any Qinglou woman who chooses an Oiran will still get a large bounty, and she will also get crazy rewards from those sons and grandsons.

At that time, there are often two choices when you become an oiran, or marry a benefactor with the highest bidder and seek a good home.

Or, you can redeem yourself, buy a house, continue to do your old job, or marry someone from a good job, which is also a good way out.

It can be said that there is no Qinglou woman who does not want to be an oiran, and after becoming an oiran, she can get rid of the sea of suffering and live a life without food and clothing.

However, almost all of the Oirans every year come from Tianxiang Building, which makes many talented Qinglou women sharpen their heads and drill into Tianxiang Building.

That makes the competition for the Oiran every year very fierce.

And this year's Oiran may be the top woman in Tianxianglou, Xiao Bailing.

His appearance is very sweet, his singing voice is even sweeter, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, and the subset of history is all known.

Someone once praised that if a woman can also participate in the Spring Festival, I am afraid that Xiao Bailing can also be on the yellow list.

This alone is far ahead of the rest of the women, and even those scholars who participated in the spring festival sighed to themselves.

However, Xiao Bailing had a faint worry, that is, a new woman that Shopkeeper Xiao and Mother Feng had focused on cultivating in the past two days.

She'd seen her once!

It's just that side that she can't forget for a long time, what kind of amazing face it should be, and she still has a sick face.

If you really wait for her to get better, I'm afraid that if you don't use powder, you can turn sentient beings upside down with a smile.

Not to mention that those men will be intoxicated and crazy by him, even if she is a woman, they will all fall in love with her when they see her.

How can there be such a disaster-level face in this world, I am afraid that in a few days, as soon as she is in good health, once she agrees to come out to meet guests.

I'm afraid that the rest of the women in Tianxianglou, including myself, will have to be reduced to foils.

Xiao Bailing can be said to be very worried.

She even had a faint feeling that she would not be able to win this year's Oiran.

Because the woman has to learn a little piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and understand some music, she will immediately compare herself.

She had a faint sense of crisis.

She kept saying to herself, no, the Oiran was too important to her, and she had to get it at all costs.

She is nearly twenty years old, and if she doesn't get an Oiran this year, I'm afraid she will be overage next year.

In that case, he will be lonely in this green building for the rest of his life.

Although she has also saved enough money for her redemption, she can buy a house and live in peace for life.

But who doesn't want to have a good home?

Are you destined to be lonely for the rest of your life?

No, never!

Thinking of this, she secretly made up her mind that she would never let Oiran miss her.

Then there is only one way left, and that is to never let this new woman arrive. Stealing the limelight from himself.

What if the new woman had to steal the limelight?

What if the new woman was indeed going to compete with her for the Oiran?

What if the new woman did compare her to her?

She thought about it, but there was no other way, and the more she thought about it, the more cold she became, and the more she thought about it, the more congested she became.

She didn't understand why this woman didn't come out late, early, and appeared at this time?

Could it be that God deliberately can't get along with himself?

Is this their fate?

Is he so willing to accept the fate of being a lonely old man for the rest of his life?

She asked herself over and over again, and eventually, the anger in her eyes grew thicker and stronger, and jealousy drove her crazy and made her lose her heart.

No, never, my life is up to me!

Who dares to stand in my way, whether she is a demon or a Buddha, it must be a Buddha who blocks and kills Buddha, and a demon who blocks and kills demons, not to mention that she is just a weak woman.

At this moment, she has become a demon.

At this moment, her personal maid, Xiao Finch, jumped in front of her: "Sister Ling, new ......"

Her eyes frightened Xiao Finch, and she hurriedly asked, "Sister Ling, you, what's wrong with you?" ”

After Xiao Bailing heard this, he hurriedly turned his face and hurriedly covered his eyes: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, the sand bursts into his eyes......"

"No, Sister Ling, your eyes just now are so terrifying!"

Xiao Bailing hurriedly interrupted her, pretending to cover up: "You, what did you just say about that new sister?"

"Well, you said her!"

Xiao Que was obviously frightened by her eyes, and her expression just slowed down, and then said: "Shopkeeper Xiao spent the old money for him, guess how much it cost to buy her?" ”

"Five hundred taels?"

Xiao Bailing was full of doubts, the price she quoted had caught up with her original value.

Xiao Qi'er shook her head and smiled mysteriously: "No, Sister Ling, guess again!" ”

When Xiao Bailing heard this, he was already a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and asked with a smile: "Yo, isn't it seven hundred taels?"

These seven hundred taels of silver were the value of the last Oiran.

But what shocked her was that Xiao Que still shook her head, "Sister Ling, guess again, it's far away!" ”

"Far from it?"

She was completely stunned, thinking that it should be the highest value in the history of Tianxianglou, so she blurted out: "Five thousand taels? ”

At this time, Xiaoque finally nodded excitedly, but her next words almost made her jaw drop.

"What, fifteen thousand ......"

She was shocked, her brain was roaring, and her heart was like water boiling, churning up and down.

The whole person was in a trance, and she couldn't hear clearly, and the little finch was chirping.

I saw the little finch cheering, the little mouth chirping up and down, and one of her hearts was about to sink to the bottom, gradually cold.

She wondered, is this year's Oiran really going to miss out on her?

What to do?

Do you really want to kill?

She's in a mess right now.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt uncomfortable, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

"Sister Bailing, Sister Bailing, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? ”

She quickly woke up, saw the little finch with a concerned face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep yesterday!" ”

"yes?"

When Xiaoque heard her say this, she hurriedly retreated: "Sister Ling, I won't bother you, there will be an Oiran Contest in another month, you still have to take care of your body!" ”

Xiao Bailing heard the two words of Oiran inexplicably entangled, she smiled and nodded, and the little bird was stopped by her when she was about to retreat.

"By the way, I have a few snacks here, you can send them to her, hey, they are all fallen people at the end of the world, and the sisters will take care of each other in the future!"

Xiaoque picked up the small piece of snack and was about to stuff it into her mouth, but she stopped her repeatedly, "Finch, you eat me and I still have these pieces, you can send them to her!" ”

"Hey, come on, I'll send it to her!"

The little finch bounced away.
