It's night.

"What time is it, Peach Blossom?" Qi Sheng's slender jade hand was untying the strap of his coat, and he flicked it on the jade screen with Luo Shang. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is still that nonchalant look.

"Miss Hui, the time hasn't passed yet." Before Peach Blossom could speak, Hua Yunsheng's soft voice entered Qi Sheng's ears.

"Huh? You ......" didn't wait for the anxious Peach Blossom and Hua Yunshang next to him to argue about the matter.

The candle is extinguished.

Suddenly there was no light, which could be regarded as frightening the two little maids, and piercing screams filled Qi Sheng's eardrums.

"Don't make noise. You two. Qi Sheng's thin eyebrows furrowed slightly, his voice was cold, and his eyes glanced out of the window, signaling them to silence.

With a "whoosh", a beautiful wooden hairpin swept across Qi Sheng's sideburns, picked up her green silk, and inserted it directly into the screen behind Qi Sheng's ear. There was a jade pendant and a note hanging on it.

Peach Blossom was aggrieved and busy lighting the candle flame again.

"When the child is in the house, the bamboo crane tower. Qi Ye made a secret covenant with the Japanese Kou. The note read. This word is vigorous and powerful without losing the wind and bones, soft and rigid. If you speak the truth like the person, this person must be arrogant and moderate. The jade pendant carved from white jade is very plain. The slight difference is that there is a "曌" character engraved on it.

This word "曌" has a slight origin. When the sun and the moon are in the sky, it is "曌", a word that is as arrogant as the lead word under this one. The last time I heard about it, it was mentioned by Mr. Storyteller when he talked about the Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty.

"Isn't that the king of Huainan - Ye Cao?" Hua Yunsheng's tentative voice sounded.

The four eyes glanced at Qi Sheng.

"I don't know him, I have nothing to do with him." Qi Sheng paused, and said seriously: "On the contrary, someone disturbed my bathing three times and twice, which is really annoying." ”

The man in black in the palace suddenly flashed in his mind. Why are things suddenly so complicated?

"Yunshang, this bamboo crane tower, you should be very familiar with it." Qi Sheng brushed his sleeves and sat down, and the jade hand gently played with the jade pendant in his hand, and the ink beads on the jade pendant under the jade pendant made a "bang, bang, bang" sound. The nobility and arrogance in his bones instantly diffused.

Hua Yunshang gently brushed his sleeves. The right hand pressed the left hand, the left hand pressed on the left hip bone, the legs were together and the knees were bent, the head was bowed slightly, and the salute said: "Back to the master, the slave family was sold into the bamboo crane tower." ”

Qi Sheng raised his head slightly, and his deep eyes looked at Hua Yunsheng's red clothes, as if he was thinking slightly.

—Bamboo Crane Tower—

The people on the stage are acting in joys and sorrows, sunny and sunny, and how much history is hidden behind the neon clothes, which is slowly flowing and spreading. It is said that the drama is ruthless, and no one knows the truth of this feeling, and it is always difficult to calm down.

At this time, the bamboo crane tower is still bright with candles. The drama on stage is playing a play "Farewell My Concubine", and the show has just started.

The Bamboo Crane Tower itself is in a remote place, and it will not disturb the resting people. It's also a good place to commit crimes.

In the upper compartment of the bamboo crane building, a seat of people has already rested for a cup of tea. A man in his forties was tied to a chair. The sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, even though they were tied, looked embarrassed, but their sharp eyes still burst with fierce eyes. The body exudes a kind of anger.

He is General Qi - Qi Ye.

Although it is not yet the time to be a child, there are still many people listening to the drama and watching the horns in this bamboo crane tower. Not to mention that the opening time of this play is very strange, and this late-night crowded scene is even more mysterious.

The boundary of the bamboo crane tower is very good, and the north and south are transparent.

Ordinary people may not understand why this bamboo crane tower is playing on this night, but if there are people whose ancestors have settled in Chang'an for several generations, they have also heard of some doorways.

According to legend, when Chang'an was still prosperous in Kyoto. At this time, the owner of this bamboo crane tower is the notorious gentleman of Chang'an-Su Rui. To say that this Su Rui, if it is really counted, is also the ancestor of Su Bai, the current commander of the Jinyi Guard. Su Rui is looking for flowers and willows all day long, drunk and golden. There are constant warblers and swallows around him, but there is only one woman who always accompanies him.

But one day, because Su Rui insisted on burning the mountain with other gentlemen, forcing the gods on the mountain to appear, unexpectedly, the woman died. After that, Su Rui seemed to have fallen into evil and suddenly did good things. The woman loved to watch and listen to dramas before her death, and said that Su Rui wanted her soul to come back and return to him, so there was a tradition of singing opera at night in the Bamboo Crane Tower.

This play doesn't have to be for people. One side of the mortal, seven sides of the ghosts and gods.

Many people have rumored that the woman is actually a fox demon cultivated on the mountain. The appearance of a fox hooked Su Rui's soul. There are also rumors that Su Rui burned and killed the lifeblood of the fox clan, and the fox demon who transformed into a woman broke with the fox clan to save Su Rui's life.

Soon after, Su Rui also passed away. The reason for this is only known to Su Rui herself. At this time, the bamboo crane tower is brightly lit, and it is a lively scene. Whether it is the guests in the upper compartment or the people listening to the play in the hall, they all have ghosts in their hearts. Qi Sheng arranged for Hua Yunshang to take care of a few small guys she was familiar with and got a good position. But she didn't devote herself to listening to the play, but her eyebrows were full of hurry. There is just a play to be sung by Hua Yunshang tonight. It is a play "The Drunken Concubine".

The doubts in Qi Sheng's heart have become thicker and thicker. Since there is a play to sing tonight, why doesn't Hua Yunshang come back? Why did Ye Cao deliver the news late at night and lead her to the Bamboo Crane Tower?

I can't care about anything else, and the top priority is to save my father. If the plan fails, the Exposed Silk Flower Pavilion will also rescue Daddy.

As the gong sounded, a woman also appeared on the stage. Dressed in red, he walked like a willow in the wind, and his teeth were like a swallow's whisper. Looking up, a pool of clear eyes like water, a touch of eyebrows like smoke, and a shallow grief between the eyebrows. The veil lightly covers the cheeks. I could only hear the babbling sound, but I couldn't see my face clearly, as if I was fascinated by the fog.

Slowly, everyone was shocked and hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, but it was too late. Fog is not an illusion, it is poisonous. This fog seems to be able to confuse people's minds and thus produce hallucinations.

Who is this woman?

With a "whoosh", the silver needle flew out of the red coat and went straight to the paper window in the upper compartment. Qi Sheng sensed that there seemed to be a dangerous person in this wing.

"Peach blossoms, have they all fallen? Where's my dad? "It's still the same cold voice. The veil of the woman in red was gently taken off by her, and it was Qi Sheng!

However, Qi Sheng can't sing, just now Hua Yunshang was supporting Qi Sheng's fake singing in the background. The poison contained in this fog was personally adjusted by Qi Sheng. Kill invisibly. Only by taking Qi Sheng's antidote can this poison be removed. The dosage is very small, and it can only temporarily paralyze people's nerves. This time I came to the rescue, and I must not be hard-hitting.

I saw Peach Blossom dragging Qi Ye, who was already unconscious, towards her. In the drag, Qi Ye's right leg made a bloody mark on the ground. Qi Sheng's thin eyebrows were lightly raised, and his face was displeased. She hurriedly walked over and helped to feed Qi Ye the antidote. Seeing that the injury on this leg seems to be getting worse, he needs to hurry back to the general's mansion.

"Qi Sheng."

A man's faint voice floated over. Qi Sheng looked back and looked up, and saw that the paper window in the upper room was opened, which was the position where the silver needle had just shot. A stunningly beautiful man stood. Although he looked cold, a pair of handsome peach blossom eyes squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth were smirked.

These deep eyes are very familiar.

Qi Sheng's mind flashed the eyes of the man in black, so similar.

Huainan Wang-Ye Cao.

"Cooperation is the only way to achieve a win-win situation." Ye Cao's slender fingers stroked the wrench in his hand. Ye Cao stood there, and the aura around him was so strong that people didn't dare to approach. Qi Sheng was silent, but his heart was tight, and he sneered secretly, this prince and nobleman is just a hypocrisy carved out of a mold.

This worldly world really disgusted her.

With that, she turned to leave.

"You also want to kill Zhu Changluo, don't you?" Ye Cao's voice drifted to Qi Sheng's ears again.

Also? Then Ye Cao also wanted to kill Zhu Changluo?

But it seems right to think about it, Zhu Changluo is the emperor of the dynasty. More than 10,000 people. The position of this emperor, he Ye Cao, a prince with a different surname, also wants to sit? Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't look back and helped Qi Ye with Peach Blossom and left.
