Chapter 35: If you can't beat it, run away
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a woman wearing a dark orange Su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt, with her head full of green silk fixed with begonia beads and jasper hairpins, and her demeanor was dignified and beautiful, sitting on the main seat, bowing her head, listening to the news reported by the people below.
"City Lord, there are two men with outstanding looks and good temperament in the city today, which caused a sensation among the girls in the audience."
"Where did it come from?" The woman spoke slowly, but her voice was hoarse, very different from her appearance and behavior.
"It seems, Imperial Capital City."
"Send someone to keep an eye on them, as long as nothing bad happens."
The man standing below answered "yes" and stepped back.
After a while, the woman slowly raised her head, her little face was well maintained, and she looked to be in her twenties, and no one would have known that she was thirty-five years old.
I saw that her thin lips were pursed lightly, and she still looked charming between her eyebrows, and her charm was still there. But at the moment, his eyes were a little glazed, and he looked at the void quietly.
Seeing this, an old man standing beside her slowly poured her a cup of tea from the table and handed it over, looking like it should be the old housekeeper in the mansion.
The woman looked at the teacup that was suddenly handed over, she didn't take it, her gaze slowly moved up, and fell on the old man's face.
"Mother-in-law, I'm a little uneasy." There was a hint of fear in her hoarse voice, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.
"Don't worry, the city lord will be fine, the old slave will always be with you." The old housekeeper touched the woman's head, gentle and warm.
……
In the west wing, the room that was messy just now has been cleaned up in good order.
The woman in blue lay on the edge of the bed without love, looking at the glazed tiles above the room in a daze, and sighed secretly.
She shouldn't have come to Tonghua City, and she saved a strange city lord. Now it's good, she will take revenge and insist on becoming the city lord herself.
She doesn't want to be a city lord, and she can't. She has her beliefs, and Tonghua City is not destined to be where she belongs.
No, she wants to go out, she can't sit still like this, her brother and sister Qi are still waiting.
The woman sat up suddenly, looked around, and finally locked her eyes on the beam near the window, a pair of almond eyes with clear anticipation, and a sly smile on her lips.
As the sun sets in the evening, the sky slowly darkens.
Outside the west wing, a maid was carrying a meal, and another maid knocked on the door a few times, then opened the door lock and walked in.
"The young city lord has dinner, the young city lord?" The maid who was the first to go in saw the bulging mass on the bed, and thought that the woman was sleeping, so she gently approached and called.
Seeing that there was no response on the bed, the maid lifted the corner of the quilt, but she didn't think that there were some sundries inside.
The maid reacted immediately, and then walked to the other maid who had just put down the meal, and whispered: "It's a shame, the young city lord is gone!" ”
The two looked at each other, glanced around, and finally noticed that the window behind the screen was open.
"The young city lord is estimated to have escaped, you go and inform the city lord, and I will go and see if I can catch up with the young city lord."
"Good!"
After speaking, the two of them went their separate ways and immediately disappeared into the room.
They didn't notice that on the beams and pillars in the room, the woman in blue stood motionless, watching their series of actions below.
After seeing them leave, she stretched out and flew down lightly, took the package that had been prepared in the cabinet of the room, and went out through the door openly.
Although she is a healer, she is not completely ignorant of martial arts. As my brother said, if you can't beat it, you can run, and her light skills are excellent.
The woman over there easily flew over the wall and fled, and the house was in chaos.
"Find them all! If you can't find it, don't come back! "The city lord, who has always been dignified and elegant, sent out a fire this time, and his face was hideous.
The people were scared and knew the seriousness of the matter. If the young city lord is gone, then the canonization ceremony in a few days will have no meaning.
At the sound of an order, all of them were dispatched. All the subordinates in the mansion were sent out.
Only the city lord and the old butler remained in the mansion, waiting for news.
The woman stood in the middle of the main hall walking back and forth, her hands trembling, her mouth moving slightly, muttering something to herself.
Seeing this, the old butler secretly sighed.
Still pouring tea from the table next to it and handing it over.
This time, when the woman saw the wrinkled hand holding the teacup, she grabbed it, so fast that some of the water in the cup spilled.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what should I do? What can I do? ”
The old butler put his other hand on the woman's hand as if soothingly, and patted it a few times.
"Zhiqiu, don't worry, it'll be fine......"
Under the old butler's reassurance, she slowly calmed down, and there was a dark light in her eyes.
Lu Xue, you'd better come back by yourself.
Otherwise......
……
The city is more lively at night than during the day, and curfews are non-existent here. All kinds of small vendors set up stalls on the roadside, shouting from time to time.
The favorite of foreign men is the Tonghua City at night. And what made them linger was the drunken building that was only open at night.
Drunken Life Building, the place of drunken dreams and death!
You say it's an obscene place?
Then you may be ridiculed by everyone.
In the drunken building, it is mainly for performing arts.
Prostitution? It also depends on whether the girls in the building are happy or not. Do you want to know that the women in Tonghua City are free and robbed? Sorry, prison welcome.
It's rare to come to this interesting place, and of course He Wen won't miss it.
After dinner, he invited Mo Shen out, remembering the situation during the day, the two of them deliberately wore black clothes and tried to keep a low profile.
At this moment, on the roads in the city, many men and women met to play, and Mo Shen and Mo Shen were both men, which attracted the attention of passers-by.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the street, which attracted everyone's attention.
"Drive, drive, get out of the way!" A line of blue-white figures passed by the horses, leaving everyone with doubts.
"Isn't this the city lord's man?"
"Yes, this big night is not afraid of disturbing the people."
"Something big must have happened, you see they're in a hurry."
"Anyway, if there is something to do, the city lord will announce it tomorrow, so let's continue to play!"
Mo Shen looked at the figure of the horse whistling by, listening to the conversation of the people around him, he paid attention.
Blue and white, the city lord's mansion, a big event?
It's better to leave early, so as not to accidentally get involved.
He Wen's purpose was to go to Zuisheng Building, so he took Mo Shen and went straight to Zuisheng Building.
At this moment, the red lights in the drunken building are hanging high, and the girls on the stage are singing and dancing. The girl in the building was bold, and she was not shy at all when she was molested, and she went back to the teasing, so there was a man's happy laughter everywhere.
Mo Shen and He Wen entered through the main entrance, and although they were dressed in black, they still attracted the attention of some girls with their appearances.
The two of them deliberately found a dimly lit corner to sit in for this reason, but He Wen was an unstable master, and he couldn't sit still on this occasion.
"He Shizi wants to go, so let's go!"
He Wen glanced at his friend in front of him, and after making sure he didn't mind, he got up and said, "Then I'll go, I'll come back later, you wait for me!" Don't sneak back again. ”
He turned around three times in one step, and made sure that Mo Shen was always behind, and then ran to the front to talk to the girls, and he had never too many confidants.
