Chapter 10: Meet the Old Man Again

Recently, in Yuxi Town, which is adjacent to Fenglai City, there has been news of the masked woman.

This woman started from a county near Linshan, but she did not show her appearance or her name, and often walked at night with a mask, or punished bullies, or chased stolen silver, hoeed and helped the weak, and spread grace.

Some people speculate that she is the girl who unveiled the bounty list in Linshan at that time and helped the yamen capture the flying thief, but there is no way to obtain evidence, so it seems more and more mysterious. And this woman does not stay in one place, and after a while she appears in other places, which is talked about by people.

It is a beautiful day, Yuxi Town is harmonious and lively, and it is a peaceful scene.

Sheng Lingyun walked into the Qing Xianju to sit, the Qing Xianju was really elegant, a square platform on the curtain hung to the ground, separated from the inside, and the shadow inside was a graceful figure, covered with veil, plucking the strings to play "Qingping Tune".

Sheng Lingyun chose an appropriate place to sit down, and the people at the table next to him were chatting about the incognito heroine, full of praise. Sheng Lingyun smiled and shook his head lightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, listening to Yayin while secretly guessing the identity of this woman.

The woman in the middle was playing, and inadvertently glanced forward and saw Sheng Lingyun, just met Sheng Lingyun's gaze, then lowered her head and chuckled, and continued to stroke the piano as if nothing happened.

Sheng Lingyun felt that this woman was a little familiar, and looked carefully, but he didn't want to hear that a key in the piano was slightly weaker, and when the girl got up after playing this song and was about to leave, Sheng Lingyun approached and called her: "Girl, the "Qingping Tune" you played is fresh, elegant and quiet, and exciting, but the minor key is lighter when the song is closed, and it is less charming."

Hearing this, the girl turned to look at him, and said lightly: "There is a mistake in the song, Zhou Langgu." Childe, please meet the Accord on the second floor. Then he went inside.

Sheng Lingyun raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and walked to the second floor.

Finding the Accord on the second floor, Sheng Lingyun gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Sheng Lingyun pushed open the door, and the girl just now had already taken off her veil and was making vegetables.

"Girl?"

"Brother Sheng, it's me." The girl slowly raised her head, and it turned out to be Qiao Yiling.

Sheng Lingyun couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Sure enough, it's you, I feel very similar." But why are you here? ”

Qiao Yiling invited him to sit down and said carefully: "I just find a livelihood for myself, as you said, I have to rely on myself in the rivers and lakes, I don't steal or rob, I support myself with a little trick."

"You have a lot of heart, and not only that, if I guess I'm right, the masked woman who has become famous lately is also you!"

Sheng Lingyun was in his chest, and Qiao Yiling did not hide it: "Exactly."

"You're the one who caught the snitch in the mountains?"

"Hmmm! Happy rivers and lakes, punish evil and eliminate traitors, although I don't have great ability, but I do my best to be in the limelight, and I don't live up to this life. ”

Qiao Yiling is very satisfied with her life, Sheng Lingyun also admires her a little more, she is free and easy, has a heroic heart, and does not lose the gentleness of the boudoir, she is a rare wonderful person.

"By the way, why didn't Brother Xu join you?"

"We are busy with our own affairs, and we have agreed to meet at Yanyu Villa."

Qiao Yiling poured a full bottle of wine for the two of them, Sheng Lingyun raised his wine glass and signaled, and then said, "The place where your masked woman appeared is all the way south, do you also want to go to Yanyu Villa to join in the fun?"

"Well, when I heard you talk about it, I really wanted to see it."

"Yes, you can." Sheng Lingyun replied casually, thinking that Xu Yunxi was going to blame him again.

At night, Sheng Lingyun sat in the same place and listened to Qiao Yiling's music, the veil was light, the beauty was like this, and the guests around him whispered, and it was leisurely.

Staying late at night, everything was silent, and the people in Qingxi Town had closed their doors to rest. At this time, in a bamboo forest in the town, a man in black was wearing a cloak, and along with a silver mask, he was hiding in the darkness, with his back to another man in the same costume, but he was half-kneeling in a black mask.

"Pavilion Master, what should I do with the charter wind?"

His voice was hoarse, rough, deliberately masked.

"This waste is actually making trouble at this critical juncture!"

This man's voice was just as hoarse, and the two of them sounded the same, except that his voice was angry!

"So, are you going to kill him?" The man in black kneeling on the ground asked.

"Don't make more trouble for the time being" The man in black who was standing raised his hand and asked, "What are Nie Changnan's chances of winning?"

"This? It's hard to say......"

"Now concentrate on helping Nie Changnan sit on the position of the owner."

The two talked about it again before leaving.

The next day, Qiao Yiling and Sheng Lingyun left together, and arrived in Fenglai City in less than half a day.

Fenglai City has been very lively recently, restaurants and teahouses have long been full, and the long street is almost full of all kinds of people from the rivers and lakes, some are toasting loudly, some are sitting on the sword, and some are nodding their heads as they pass by.

Qiao Yiling was a little excited, she was also one of them, this was the first time she had experienced the strong taste of pride in the rivers and lakes.

Sheng Lingyun saw that she was eager to try, and she just got off the horse to talk to everyone, and deliberately teased her: "Didn't you say that you are used to wandering the rivers and lakes alone, why are you still a child?"

Qiao Yiling was embarrassed, so she had to beg in a low voice: "Brother Sheng, don't make fun of me, I'm talking nonsense."

Sheng Lingyun accepted it when he saw it, and said to her: "Let's go to Xiantingju to meet Yunxi first, and then you can walk around, the conference will start the day after tomorrow, and there is plenty of time."

The two walked into the idle house, Xu Yunxi had already prepared the meal, and he should be waiting for Sheng Lingyun. He saw Qiao Yiling and was slightly taken aback: "Miss Qiao, we meet again." Then beckoned the two to sit down.

Qiao Yiling said to Xu Yunxi with an apologetic tone: "Brother Xu, I just want to come and see the grand event of Yanyu Villa."

Xu Yunxi was worried that she would misunderstand her unhappiness, so she hurriedly explained to her: "It's too late for me to be happy when I see Miss Qiao again."

Both of them laughed, embarrassed.

Xu Yunxi asked again: "Didn't you meet Ziyan, did he pick you up?"

"No, I may have missed it!" Sheng Lingyun raised his glass as he answered, and the three of them drank and talked happily.

Sheng Lingyun suddenly remembered something, and asked Xu Yunxi mysteriously: "Do you know the story of the masked woman?"

Qiao Yiling laughed and said nothing.

Xu Yunxi looked at Qiao Yiling and asked excitedly, "It's not you!"

"Exactly, she is the one who catches the snitch in the mountains." Sheng Lingyun looked appreciative.

Xu Yunxi couldn't help but praise when he heard this: "I thought you were a daughter and left home, but I didn't expect that you couldn't hide your heroine's heroic spirit!"

Qiao Yiling was puzzled when he heard this: "So you didn't believe my identity before?"

"If people who are used to wandering the rivers and lakes, how can they not even hear of Yanyu Villa?" Xu Yunxi found that he was not so resistant to Qiao Yiling anymore, but wanted to make this friend with her.

Qiao Yiling also really wanted to make friends with these two people, so he no longer concealed it: "Actually, my father is Qiao Qianming, I have made a verbal relationship with Xie Yan and Uncle Xie's uncle since childhood, but we have never met, and now his family is proposing marriage, I don't want to, so I escaped."

"Who would want to marry or marry someone who is a stranger to them? If it were me, I would run away. Xu Yunxi comforted Qiao Yiling.

Sheng Lingyun also added: "Fate is determined, and you can't force it." If there is really a marriage, I will meet again. ”

Qiao Yiling nodded.

After a few people had dinner, they arranged a room for Qiao Yiling, Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun went out, and Qiao Yiling went back to the room to rest.
