Finally, the carriage arrived at the square in the city, and all the families dismounted to rest, Wang Ningzhi, Wang Jingzhi, Pei Liang and Huan Qilang were the highest status in these families, and it was natural that the four of them would go to visit the city lord first.

The crowd rested for about an hour, and the sky gradually darkened, and the four of them rode back.

The various families were settled in the Yamen of the Mansion, but Wang Ningzhi, Wang Jingzhi, Pei Liang and the Langjun Girl of the Huan family were arranged in the City Lord's Mansion.

On the square, the carriages gradually left with the palace guards.

"Ah Yu, I really can't rest assured, this city is full of weirdness. Huan Qilang said with a little worry.

Yang Yu raised her lips and said, "I'm an unknown girl, who can take me?" ”

Huan Qilang moved his lips, stopped talking, frowned and said, "You and I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to settle down." ”

"No, no! Yang Yu shook his head again and again and said: "I have a low status, how can this work." ”

Huan Qiurong flattened his lips and said, "Sister Ayu, you can be my companion!" ”

Pei Liang, who had been silent since his return, also said with faint concern between his eyebrows: "Ah Yu, listen to me this time, something is wrong in this city, you follow me." ”

Yang Yu wanted to speak again, and then remembered the person who was hiding in the dark and wanted his life, and really felt that it was not appropriate to leave them, so he nodded and said, "It's really troublesome for you." ”

The scholars in the square left one by one under the leadership of their own carriages and the palace guards, and Yang Yu ran to the city lord's mansion with a few people.

After coming and going, when they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the sky was already pitch black.

At the gate of the city lord's mansion, everyone got off the car and dismounted, and a young scribe with beard and mouse eyes greeted him at the door, squinting his eyes with a smile, and arched his hand: "Yuan has been waiting for you for a long time!" That Yuan Wenshi saw that everyone's expressions had not changed, but when he saw Yang Yu and Huan Qiurong, his eyes lit up.

Wang Ningzhi arched his hand disdainfully, and walked in front of him gracefully and elegantly.

Yuan Wenshi narrowed his eyes and said as he walked: "It is really a blessing for the patriarch of the Langya Wang clan to come to Quzhou, and the city lord has already prepared wine and food to entertain you. ”

Yang Yu followed behind everyone, and Huan Qiurong said leisurely on her side: "Looking at this scribe's copper smell and obscenity, this city lord must not be a very good person." ”

Yang Yu chuckled, Jin people like to judge people by their appearance, but it also makes sense, they all say that they are born from their hearts. If it is bright and fair, that person's bearing is different, in the past, Wang Ningzhi probably didn't bother to glance at that Yuan Wenshi, but today he has also given the city lord enough face.

Thinking about it, he had already arrived at the main hall, and as soon as he entered the main hall, a faint smell of blood mixed with the smell of incense penetrated into his nose, and everyone was stunned.

In the main hall, far away, there is a Lang Jun, who is dressed in a plain white beard with large sleeves and a Confucian collar robe, holding his chin in one hand and holding a wine glass in the other, sitting on the soft dark purple Shu brocade. His bearing was elegant and graceful, his thin lips were hooked, and a pair of peach blossom eyebrows and eyes were looking at the hall with a thick smile.

In the center of the hall, a square pool two feet deep, two zhang long and wide, the pool is inlaid with gold and jade, carved with birds and swimming fish, and in the pool, it is full of blood-red broken jade, and the broken jade is particularly crystal clear under the bright candle flame.

Five dancing girls with picturesque eyebrows stepped into the hall past the crowd standing at the door. The dancing girl has her hair combed and hangs down, her hair is inserted with jade beads, she is wearing a narrow-sleeved brocade shirt, and she is wearing a jade smoke Luo Qiyun skirt, the five of them are exactly the same, if it weren't for the gap between the eyebrows and eyes, it would be really dazzling.

At this time, intermittently, from far and near, there was a crying sound of the piano, and the dancing girls lined up in a row and flew like flying, stepping into the broken jade pool in turn.

The five dancers dance in unison, the same way. Sometimes they raise their wrists and lower their eyes, and sometimes they soothe their hands. The posture is graceful, and the dance steps are beautiful and weak. The expression, but the pain is unbearable, and then look at the feet of the dancing girl, five pairs of white jade feet are stained with blood, even if it is so painful, but no one stops, just like a marionette, there is still a pool of blood-red broken jade under the feet, the dance steps are flying, the toes bring up pieces of crystal clear broken jade, facing the bright candle flame, it looks bewitching and wonderful.

"Ahh Huan Qiurong was originally curious, but when he saw this bloody scene, he couldn't help but shout softly.

It was this sudden shout that made one of the dancing girls in the broken jade pool startled, and one of her feet was unsteady and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene suddenly, the tall sitting Langjun smiled, and his eyebrows and eyes were more relaxed. He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Huan Qiurong, then turned his gaze to the side. His gaze was soft and slow, and when he glanced at Yang Yu, his eyes narrowed, his eyebrows raised, and the corners of his lips rose slightly, revealing an evil smile. The elegant appearance, coupled with the graceful bearing, did not affect the look and estimation in those eyes.

Yang Yu frowned slightly, his lips raised unnaturally, but his body retreated slightly.

The city lord smiled again, then glanced at the people at the door, got up with a smile and said, "Welcome to all the princes." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the servants on the side brought everyone to their seats and settled them.

A translucent curtain blocked it, and Yang Yu's eyes were hazy, but he was even more uneasy.

The city lord looked at Wang Ningzhi with a smile, and said happily: "The princess is late, I have already set the main dish for tonight, I hope you don't mind." ”

Wang Ningzhi leaned on the soft collapse, lazy with indescribable grace and elegance, he raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the city lord with those smiling eyes, and then turned his gaze to the side.

Wang Jingzhi raised his eyebrows, looked at the city lord with a pair of deep bottomless eyes, and said indifferently with thin lips: "The city lord is the lord, we are the guests, and the guests are as they are the hosts." ”

"Haha. The city lord's peach blossom eyes looked at Wang Jingzhi's eyes, stared at him for a moment, and then said: "Wang Jun is worthy of Langya Wang's Wuyilang, and his words and deeds are all personable. As he spoke, his eyes glanced indifferently at the broken jade pool below, and the dancing girl who had just fallen said softly, "Let's start." His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

"No! Maihime suddenly turned pale, tears rolled down her eyes, and she screamed with all her might.

The city lord's eyes were cold, and he said with a smile: "No? ”

The dancing girl trembled, her face turned even paler, and she was obviously extremely afraid, but she got up slowly, clearly shaky, but she was holding on.

The other four dancing girls had already escaped, and they seemed to be able to break the jade pool.

At this time, the dancing girl raised her hand, stroked her body very gently, picked her fingers, and her coat fell to the ground.
