Volume II 18.Wait for me to find you
Kyoto, if you want to say where it is the most romantic and lively, it is, of course, the phoenix dwelling.
Fengqiju is not a residence for dignitaries or a concubine's palace, but the largest brothel in Kyoto and the most mysterious place in Kyoto.
Although Fengqiju is a brothel, the girls inside never accept customers, and they clearly announce that they do not sell their bodies, no matter how rich the master you are, how powerful and powerful the nobles, as long as you want to turn the girls into bed and turn left when you go out, if you don't leave, people will naturally have thugs to send you out.
Among the many rumors, the most reliable one is probably that the boss behind this brothel is Nalan Jinyu, the king of Yongning, but there is no evidence to confirm it, some people say that the girls in Fengqiju are mysterious and terrifying killers, but it is just a rumor, and over time, Fengqiju has become the most mysterious place.
Feng dwelling, a total of seven floors, each floor seven private rooms, the hall on the first floor does not have tables and chairs, only one high platform, used for daily performances, in the daytime, never open the door, only at night, will be lit up bright as day, there is no pungent smell of rouge powder, there is no drunken lamp fan of the smell of wine and sweat, but the aroma is fluttering, the surrounding clouds and mist are curling, as if in a fairyland.
When Nalan Yi and Lin Zijin saw the corpse of the child in Qin Zi'an's womb, they all sighed sadly, and in addition to being sad, they ordered more people to be sent to find Qin Zi'an, who wanted to see people alive and corpses when they died, and what about Qin Zi'an's children, Nalan Yi held a funeral in accordance with the rules of the royal family, posthumously awarded the title, Yong'an.
Qin Zimu goes out early and returns late every day, sometimes he doesn't even come back for a few days, Qin Zirui is not at ease, he follows him wholeheartedly, from morning to night, everyone is looking for Qin Zi'an with all their hearts, but there is no trace from beginning to end, as if Qin Zi'an does not exist in this world at all.
What about Nalan Jinyu? After Qin Zimu knew, he didn't make any reaction, just secretly investigated who had recently met with Nalan Jinyu and talked about something, and Qin Zirui naturally didn't know this, his brain was hot, and he didn't bother to divinate hexagrams, so he ran into Fengqiju angrily, overturned the table in front of him, and the wine and food were scattered all over the ground, kicking the drunken Nalan Jinyu to the ground and riding on him, punch after punch hit Nalan Jinyu's body, in the face, while fighting, and shouting, "Nalan Jinyu, are you still human?!" Zi'an's life and death are uncertain, there is no news, but you are drinking and having fun here, you are really unworthy of being a human being! The more Qin Zirui spoke, the more excited he became, and his fist hit Nalan Jinyu's body one by one, but he didn't fight back at all, until Fengqiju's guards and Qin Zimu rushed over together, Qin Zimu pulled Qin Zirui, who was red-eyed, and Nalan Jinyu also signaled that the guards didn't need to come up, so they retreated, staggered to pick up the wine jug on the ground, leaned on a woman with an excellent figure and a bewitching face, and drank wine one by one, "What can you people understand?" Life must be happy, who am I? I'm the King of Yongning, the heir of the royal family, how could I give up a forest for a tree with a crooked neck? As he spoke, he raised his head and took a sip of wine, looking at Qin Zimu meaningfully, "That's right, how can you ordinary people understand the bad taste of the royal family?" As he spoke, he hugged the sexy and enchanting woman next to him and went to another box, when he passed by Qin Zimu, he gave him a look, and when he passed by, he gave him a note, Qin Zimu clenched his fists and pulled Qin Zirui Inn, Qin's mansion has been burned into ruins by fire, and it will take a lot of time to rebuild, and during this time, the two brothers lived in a nearby inn, and every day they went back and forth everywhere, which also made the two physically and mentally exhausted, the two elders of the Qin family were buried in the ancestral tomb of the Qin family, and Qin Zifeng was buried next to them.
After returning to the inn, Qin Zimu closed the doors and windows, and after confirming that no one was following, he pulled Qin Zirui to sit down, "Zirui, Bu Yihexagram." Qin Zimu spread out his palm, and there was a neatly folded note lying on it, Qin Zimu opened the note and said, "This note is slightly yellowed, I think he has already prepared it and brought it with him, just waiting for us to find him." "Qin Zimu opened the note and wrote, 'Tonight, Feng Qi lives on the seventh floor, the seventh room.'
After Qin Zimu finished reading it, he burned the note, and Qin Zirui was puzzled, "Why didn't he ask us to meet tonight and didn't say it?" He also beat me up, what did he want to do? Qin Zimu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, opened the window, looked at the full moon in the sky, there were a lot of gray clouds around, and he thought that it would snow again tonight, "Just go tonight, Bu Yigua, and see if you can know if Zi'an is still alive." Qin Zirui nodded, and opened the hexagram seriously, he has always been very serious about Qin Zi'an, but he has been busy running around during this time, looking for Qin Zi'an's whereabouts, making him forget that he knows divination, and now that he thinks about it, he is also concerned about it.
About half an hour later, Qin Zirui stood up sweaty, raised his sleeve and wiped his sweat, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face, and then frowned again, "Zi'an is still alive, but the state is not very good, I have been offended a lot, and I am in a cold place at this time, I have tried for a long time, but I can't be sure of her location, it should be someone who knows Qimen Dunjia who has set up a formation and won't let us find her." Qin Zimu frowned, "They seem to know us well. Qin Zirui pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
It was late at night, and it really snowed heavily, but fortunately there was no wind, and the snowflakes fell fluttering on the ground, and on the roof, as far as the eye could see, everywhere was white.
Qin Zimu and Qin Zirui changed their white coats, but it was not easy to be found when they walked in the snow, Feng Qiju closed the door early today, it was dark at this time, Qin Zimu raised his hand, and just as he was about to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was a slender woman, sexy and enchanting, it was the person who Nalan Jinyu was holding during the day.
Qin Zimu didn't speak, but the woman came in a crispy and soft voice, "This son, the master has been waiting upstairs for a long time." As he spoke, he pulled the two of them in, and before closing the door, he looked around, and after locking the door from the inside, Shi Shiran led the way in front, "The two sons will come with me." "Before leaving, Qin Zimu looked at the lock on the door, and said secretly in his heart, 'Luban lock, it is still the kind that cannot be forcibly opened, it seems that this is not a simple brothel.'
A wisp soared up, came to the seventh floor, it was extremely dim, although Qin Zimu and Qin Zirui were people who practiced martial arts, they couldn't see the road clearly, they could only grope their way forward, and the woman who led the way in front of them was like walking on the ground, as if walking in the daytime, the seventh room on the seventh floor, there was a dim candlelight, and after Qin Zimu and Qin Zirui entered, the woman closed the door and disappeared, when she came, Qin Zimu almost didn't hear the woman's footsteps, thinking that the woman must be very good.
In the room, Nalan Jinyu sat on a chair, the table was empty, and after seeing the two of them sit down, they put out the candle, and the room was suddenly dark, and they could only see each other's faces clearly through the light reflected from the moonlight on the snow.
For a while, the room was quiet, no one spoke, and after staying in a quiet atmosphere for about a pillar of incense, Nalan Jinyu suddenly spoke, "The three of us have been followed and monitored recently, and today may be the day when they return to their lives, so no one is looking at us." Nalan Jinyu paused, got up and stood in front of the window, closed the curtains, and sat back again, "In the past two months, I have been investigating the whereabouts and identities of those black-clothed people, and during the investigation, I found that they will disappear every month today, just like ghosts. ”
In the dark, the three of them couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, Qin Zirui was worried about his lingering in the brothel in recent days, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Then why didn't you explain to us earlier and linger in this brothel?" ”
Hearing this, I don't know who chuckled, it sounded like a delicate woman, "If he is not like this, how can you come to him?" How can he give you the note? This is, the candles in the room suddenly all lit up, the dim candle flame instantly illuminated the entire room, the door was opened from the outside, and a woman in an emerald green shirt slowly walked in, and when he saw the woman's face clearly, Qin Zirui stood up from the chair in shock, "It's you!" ”
The woman covered her mouth and smiled, "What? Can't it be me? "This woman is none other than the woman who followed Nalan Jinyu a few days ago, but at this time, her temperament is completely different from a few days ago.
Seeing that it was her, Nalan Jinyu hurriedly asked in an anxious tone, "How is it?" Did you find it? Where is it? When Qin Zimu and Qin Zirui heard Nalan Jinyu's question, they suddenly thought of something, and looked at the woman in front of them together.
The woman saluted Nalan Jinyu, "If you go back to your lordship, the peony will chase all the way, until they reach the Phoenix Valley outside the Western Regions Barren Gu City, they will be gone, the Phoenix Valley is full of poisonous barriers, and there are countless poisonous Gu insects, and the slaves and maids are afraid of being discovered, so they dare not rush in." Speaking of this, Peony paused, his face hesitated, but he still spoke, "Young master... The corpse of the young master..."When Peony said this, her voice became smaller and smaller, and her eyes were flustered, and when Nalan Jinyu heard this, she hurriedly asked in a panic, "What happened to the young master's corpse?!" Peony hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The young master's body is gone... Please also ask your lord to condemn the sin. With that, she fell to the ground, frowning, a little flustered, of course she had seen how Nalan Jinyu dealt with people who failed in the mission.
When Nalan Jinyu heard this, she sat down on the chair all of a sudden, a little distracted, "It's gone... How could it be gone? The Imperial Tomb is heavily guarded, why is it gone? ”
Hearing this, Peony raised her head and said the results of another woman, "My lord, Peony asked me to bring you a message," and then looked at Nalan Jinyu, he nodded at her, and Peony continued, "Peony said, that day the emperor's tomb was foggy, yellow, and not like a sandstorm, the smell was pungent, about a quarter of an hour later, the yellow fog dissipated, the body of the young master was gone, and the person who guarded the body of the young master also died, and turned into a mess of mud at a speed visible to the naked eye, exuding a pungent smell, There are still a lot of Gu worms in the mud. ”
Hearing this, Nalan Jinyu understood, "The person who stole Zisu's body must be in the same group as the person who kidnapped Zi'an, if the guess is right, Zisu and Zi'an must be in the same place now." Nalan Jinyu frowned, searching for all the information about the Phoenix Valley of Barren Gu City in her mind.
"The Western Regions of the Witch City, believe in the witch god, Phoenix Valley is where their holy place is located, in the legend, this witch god looks a little strange, like two people tied back to back, the front of the witch god is a bewitching woman, the back is a fierce god and evil man, there has always been a prophecy in the city of Barbarians, when a torch-like meteorite crosses the sky, it is the day of the witch god's rebirth, and the method of awakening the witch god in the prophecy is extremely cruel and bloody, that is the method that only the high priest of Phoenix Valley knows." Qin Zimu said eloquently, the more he spoke, the deeper his brows wrinkled, if his idea was right, then why Zi'an?
There was a moment of silence in the room, and Nalan Jinyu's tone was heavy, "No matter what, at present, it seems that Phoenix Valley is our only breakthrough, and it is about Zi'an, I think we should also join forces to fight once." ”
It was still snowing outside the window, and the three men in the room agreed, they were not afraid of the eyes in the dark.
"Zi'an, wherever you are, I will find you."
