"Humble ...... It's an honor. Jun Qinglan didn't lie, this is what she said in her heart.

Liu Chengfeng raised his hand to push the door, this huge Zhongyi Marquis Mansion was not tethered, he just stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door opened. The dull opening of the heavy wooden door made Jun Qinglan's heart tremble. For some reason, when Liu Chengfeng stepped through the corner gate, she always felt as if she had stepped into the mouth of an unknown beast in a trance.

Not only could the beast devour her life, but even her spirit could be swallowed in one bite. Enter this door, and from then on you will be able to make you disappear from the whole heaven and earth.

Jun Qinglan didn't know why she felt this way until she saw the owner of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.

Liu Chengfeng led Jun Qinglan into the innermost courtyard of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion before stopping.

"There's the flower hall ahead, you can go in and wait by yourself. I'm going to say goodbye. ”

Jun Qinglan nodded and thanked him, and slowly entered the flower hall. A strange aroma wafted through the hall. Jun Qinglan frowned, she always felt that this fragrance was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she smelled it. The taste is like a flower but not a flower, like sandalwood mellow but sweeter than it. The fragrance didn't seem to belong to any spice in the world, and although it smelled good, it made her feel uneasy. I don't know why I reject this taste from the bottom of my heart.

There was no one in the hall, and she quickly looked around. There are many hot press screens in this room, which are placed in different positions according to the different themes of the hot stamps. There are eight immortals crossing the sea, there are Magu offering life, there is Chang'e running to the moon, there is Dayu controlling the water, and so on. The motifs on these screens are ancient legends that have been passed down in the market for thousands of years, and each legend is composed of several hot paintings. Jun Qinglan's gaze slid over the screen, marveling at the delicacy of the hot stamping and the vivid colors, and even more shocked by the materials used in the screen. It looks smooth and delicate and full of luster, and for a while I can't see what kind of fabric is used, I just feel that it looks tight.

In the corner of the flower hall, there are several drums of different shapes. Some are big and some are small, and they are dressed with colorful tassels. There are several lute hanging on the wall, and the good oil paint on the lute outlines the vivid flowers of various colors. Everything in this house is exquisite.

Jun Qinglan looked at those objects for a long time before realizing that the strange aroma in the house came from those exquisite utensils. She took a few steps forward, just about to take a closer look at what special materials these things were made of. Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me, and a slightly feminine cold voice sounded slowly.

"It turns out that Lord Jun also likes these treasures collected by miscellaneous families."

Jun Qinglan was taken aback, turned around suddenly, and saw Liu Quanzhong, who was dressed in regular clothes, standing at the door of the flower hall and looking at her with a smile. The man's clothes were as black as ink, but he embroidered a large area of hell with bright red silk threads, and the red and bright ones were burning. Today, the sun was shining, but he stood against the light, leaving all the sunlight behind him, leaving only darkness that could not be seen through at a glance. It seemed that his face was whiter than frost and snow, but his lips were as red as blood.

It's not comfortable to look at.

"See the ...... of the factory for humble duties" Jun Qinglan immediately knelt down, but she had a hard time addressing this person. After a little hesitation, he added: "See Zhongyihou." ”

"Huh." Liu Quanzhong said with a low smile: "The name of Zhongyihou has not been mentioned by the people of the court for a long time, and even the emperor and miscellaneous families have almost forgotten it, so don't mention it." ”

By saying this, he acquiesced in his identity as a loyal candidate. Although Jun Qinglan had already guessed the truth since she saw him, it was still difficult to hide the shock in her heart when it was confirmed.

In Northern Xia, no one knew when Liu Quanzhong entered the palace, only that when he first entered the palace, he was just a little eunuch who poured night incense. Now, he has not only become the commander of the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, who is in power to the government and the opposition, but also has been named a loyal candidate?

Zhongyi Hou is different from the factory duke, in the Northern Xia, only the founding father of the country with outstanding meritorious achievements was given the title of marquis by the Holy Ancestor Emperor at the beginning of the founding of the country. Although the marquis does not hold real power like the officials next to him, he is a hereditary glory, and in Northern Xia, it symbolizes status.

Liu Quanzhong, a crippled eunuch, was actually given the title of marquis? He...... Are there any outstanding feats?

Liu Quanzhong ignored the turmoil in Jun Qinglan's heart, and walked in the flower hall, letting the long skirt embroidered with red lotus karmic fire drag on the ground, as if walking in the monstrous flames. His eyes were half-squinted, and his eyes were nostalgic for the hot stamping screens and musical instruments in the room. There is fanatical attachment and affection in the eyes. The red lips were slightly hooked, and a little smile slowly appeared on the pale face.

"Most of the treasures of the world are far away when they see the miscellaneous family, and it is rare to meet a bosom friend today. The miscellaneous family has received the gift of Lord Jun, and you will pick your favorite one to take away later, as a return gift from the miscellaneous family. ”

Jun Qinglan looked sideways at the beautifully crafted utensils in the hall, but she didn't speak. For some reason, looking at them always feels a little weird beyond words.

"These screens are really hard to come by." Liu Quanzhong said slowly, his fingers groping on the smooth surface of the screen, with a bit of fanatical affection in his eyes. Gentle and delicate, lover-like delicate.

Jun Qinglan's body trembled, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable coldness rising from the bottom of her heart.

"Since the establishment of the Second Division of the East Factory, I don't know how many people have been sent to Zhao Prison. Most of those heinous sinners are in high positions, but their hearts are sinister and dirty. Such a person should have fallen into the hell of Abi, and his body and bones would never be reborn. However, the miscellaneous family is getting older, and there are too many joys and sorrows of life and death that they have seen over the years, and their hearts are getting softer and softer. So, I wanted to give them a chance to atone for their sins and leave a piece of beauty in this world. ”

Liu Quanzhong's voice was low and tactful, with a face full of sorrow and pity. His face was painted with delicate makeup, and his body and voice were feminine. Looking at it coldly, it is not like the cold-blooded eunuch in the legend who leans towards the government and the opposition, but like a compassionate noblewoman in the courtyard of the inner house.

Jun Qinglan half-furrowed her eyebrows and listened carefully to what Liu Quanzhong said. What he has always said is the affairs of the DPRK and China, what does it have to do with the screen?

So, the miscellaneous family asked for good food and drink to entertain them, and made sure that they were in a good mood. Only people who are in a good mood will have elastic and radiant skin. ”

Liu Quanzhong hooked his lips and smiled, his fingers swiped over the edge of the screen, and he hissed coldly. Jun Qinglan immediately raised her head, and then saw that Liu Quanzhong's finger had touched somewhere, and a small wound had been cut on the end of his finger. The red beads of blood floated like a red bean and the tips of his fingers.

"Factory Father!" Jun Qinglan's heart trembled: "The humble position immediately goes to pass on Langzhong." ”

It's not that she's making a fuss, it's Liu Quanzhong!

A drop of blood the size of a red bean is enough to wipe out a clan of others! Why was he so unlucky that he was injured in front of his eyes?

"Not necessarily." Liu Quanzhong waved his hand to stop, put his injured fingertips on his lip and bit it hard, and then wiped it on his lips. The man's lips were instantly stained with blood.

"With such a small injury, why bother to mobilize the public? Blood is the most wonderful taste in the world. He took a deep breath, his expression growing more and more pleasant.

Jun Qinglan was speechless. There is really no one in the world who has such a hobby, and I hope everything will go well today.

"Let's move on to the screen." Liu Quanzhong said with a smile: "Do you know why my screen is colorful and lasts for a long time?" ”

"I don't know what I do." Jun Qinglan lowered her head and answered truthfully.

"You may not know, but you dare not say it." Liu Quanzhong looked at her, his eyes were dark: "If you really don't have any rules in your heart, this seat will be very disappointed in this Yanjing No. 1 work." Well, you can go back now. ”

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips, and when she saw those utensils, she didn't have no thoughts in her heart. However, she didn't want what she thought to be true. However, looking at Liu Quanzhong's attitude now, it seems that ...... What she thinks is true.

"There is indeed a bold guess on the low post." Jun Qinglan's voice paused slightly: "From the luster, texture, and depth and color of the screen. The material used for the screen is not any kind of silk fabric. ”

Liu Quanzhong smiled and said lightly: "So what? ”

Jun Qinglan took a deep breath, in the end, she still had to say the most unwilling to say it herself!

"I think it's a human skin!"

"Oh?" Liu Quanzhong raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "How can you see it?" ”

"Only human skin can have such thickness and luster, pig iron soldering, not mushy or broken."

"When a person dies, his body decays very quickly, and if these artifacts are really made of human skin, why do they not decay and remain bright in color?"

Jun Qinglan sighed for a while and said, "I once heard my father say that in the ancient times, in order to keep the body from rotting. Before the deceased is buried, he will be bathed in fragrant soup and then scrubbed with wine. This not only makes the corpse "fragrant", but also has a certain disinfection effect. Then choose a suitable place to bury it, which can keep the body alive for thousands of years. Therefore, I boldly guessed that there must be a great master around the factory father, who can concoct a special spice to keep the skin elastic and lustrous after leaving the human body. ”

So, that's why the room is filled with exotic aromas. Jun Qinglan frowned slightly, a little ...... Disgusting.

"Hehehe." Liu Quanzhong looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's not a secret, not only this screen in this room, but also the pipa and colorful drums are made of human skin. Yanjing's rumors are true, Jun Qinglan, you really deserve to be the first, and it is not in vain that this seat came here to see you today. ”

"Thank you for the praise of the factory, I think there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Jun Qinglan whispered, humble and cautious. In his heart, he was full of disdain for his remarks at this moment, and he must not be proud to be praised by Liu Quanzhong.

"Jun Qinglan." Liu Quanzhong suddenly smiled, and his eyes were a little cold and sharp: "Since the day the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion was built, you are the only one among the hundred officials to visit. Don't make me regret it! ”
