Chapter Ninety-One: Bamboo Basket Fetching Water
Chang Yu listened to the conversation between the two behind him, surprised and ashamed in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
What was surprising was that I accidentally passed by here last night, but I didn't expect it to be Lian Mansion, and what I didn't expect was that the victim turned out to be Lian Xuan, and now even Lian Li plans to resign and return to old age, which shows that this incident has dealt a big blow to Lian Li.
I am ashamed that although Chang Yu knew that the flower thieves had poisoned countless girls, he had always regarded this matter as a high bounty in his heart, and never thought about the lustful behavior of the flower pickers, how many living girls had been poisoned behind his back, how many perfect families had been destroyed, and he had never really wanted to help these victimized women.
When did I become so utilitarian?
In the year of the Golden Gate, I don't know how many people died at my hands, I became like an executioner who killed people and took money, when did I really discern the good and evil of everyone?
Piercing the Golden Gate allowed me to grow in cultivation and get a huge bounty, but it also wore away my humanity and made me a tool for killing people completely.
Is this exactly what I want?
Chang Yu suddenly echoed what Ma Ba said that day:
"The assassin is for profit, the swordsman is for the way, whether it is good or evil, only the heart!"
Am I an Assassin now? Or a swordsman? What is my own heart?
I'm afraid I won't be able to think about these things for a while.
Chang Yu's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but look into the Lian Mansion, and the sad atmosphere was rendered from the inside, making him feel even more uncomfortable, and secretly vowed to let the flower thief get the retribution he deserved, which could be regarded as a kind of atonement for himself.
After leaving Lian Mansion, Chang Yu walked towards the Lima Bridge with a heavy heart.
……
The Qunfang Courtyard, which is lined with buildings, was still brightly lit last night, and the people were buzzing, but now it is extremely deserted, only a few guys standing in the hall, and it is obvious that the girls are still resting.
In the lobby on the first floor, colorful ribbons decorate the entire room, decorating the staircase corridor like a flower, revealing the air of pink.
There were dozens of round tables in the lobby, empty, and there were only two people sitting in front of a round table by the door.
Wan Niang sat across the table, gently combing her somewhat unkempt hair, yawning again and again.
She was in the worst mood today, so she came to the opposite guest early in the morning and woke her up from her sleep.
Have you ever seen a red mansion that opened early in the morning, should you be selling refreshments, seeing that the old lady is not good at slaughtering you, Wan Niang scolded secretly in her heart.
When Wan Niang heard that the guest had named and saw a girl, the calculation in her heart immediately fell short, and she almost wanted to get up and leave with her sleeves brushed up, how could she have a good face, she spit out in her mouth, and threw a short answer to the other party, "The person you are looking for is no longer here!" ”
"What?! Liu Ruyin is gone?! The person sitting opposite Wan Niang was Chang Yu, and when Chang Yu learned the information that Liu Ruyin had left, he wondered if he hadn't woken up either.
Wan Niang yawned lightly, and said with a smile, "Ruyin redeemed her body and left last night." But it's also strange to say, although Ruyin has a good appearance, but it is not the top card in my Qunfang Courtyard, why can I take out so much gold at once, I thought it was a bold son who took a fancy to Ruyin, but Ruyin left alone, and walked in a hurry, and even a few sisters didn't see a few times. ”
Hurrying away?
Chang Yu couldn't help frowning, if Liu Ruyin ran away like this, then she would be a bamboo basket to draw water, and she would be empty of people and money.
It seems that she was played by Liu Ruyin again, in such an era when communication relies on roaring, to find Liu Ruyin is really like looking for a needle in the sea.
Chang Yu almost wanted to go back to the door to issue an assassination order, but he gave up again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It seems that when dealing with women, I still have to pay more attention.
Seeing Chang Yu's sad look, Wan Niang hid her face and snickered, and teased, "This son, could it be that our Ruyin girl still owes you a romantic debt?" There is no grass at the end of the world, in my group of fragrant courtyards, there are many delicate and tender flowers, but how many girls do you want me to call for my son? ”
"No need, Chang will leave here." Chang Yu was already depressed in his heart, how could he have the heart to have fun here, so he got up and walked out of the door.
"Hey, hey, Childe is just leaving?" Wan Niang complained, feeling angry and helpless, she could only send her to the hall to see off the guests, and she just went back upstairs with a twist, and then returned to the cage.
On the wide Lishui Bridge, people come and go, shuttling pedestrians, in groups of three or five, all discussing Bai Yueyao's performance last night.
The heavenly song descends to earth, which is rare in the world.
Those who had the privilege of attending last night's feast talked and tried their best to describe the pomp and circumstance of last night, while the audience listened in amazement, fascinated and praised as if they were there themselves.
In addition to Bai Yueyao's performance, everyone who talked about it couldn't help but mention the four big words "purple jade elixir".
Everyone has seen this kind of famous wine, and they thought it was the Biqu and Moqu of Zhongshan Kingdom, but they were despised by the talkers. The talker again spoke of the wine, and praised it with great praise, which caused a wave of exclamation and conjecture.
Even more good people have searched all the famous wine shops in the city, but they still haven't found this wine, and this kind of behavior has also intensified everyone's reverie about this wine.
Some profit-seeking businessmen saw the business opportunities in front of them, and privately collected purple jade elixir to hoard strange goods and realize huge profits.
But what these businessmen didn't expect was that this purple jade elixir was so rare that it was difficult to find a bottle for ordinary dignitaries, not to mention ordinary businessmen, who spent a lot of effort and didn't get a single star.
Listening to everyone's talk, Chang Yu believed that last night's performance, except for Bai Yueyao, was only the purple jade elixir that remained in the public's impression.
With the help of Bai Yueyao's performance, achieving such a successful marketing effect is undoubtedly good news for Chang Yu.
It's a pity that the owner of this party, Liu Ruyin, has disappeared.
Where to find such a person with both wisdom and courage again, it really gives Chang Yu a headache.
"Chang Gongzi, I finally found you!"
A carriage suddenly appeared in front of Chang Yu, and a figure leaned out of the carriage, this person was wearing a dark black brocade robe, a cake-shaped jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a crown of hair was also inlaid with jade gems, and he was wearing a jewel weapon, which was Cao Feng.
There were only four plainclothes guards on either side of the carriage, but there were no shuangsha in Shaanxi.
Cao Feng got down from the carriage nimbly, helped the jade on the crown of his hair, raised his bright eyes to look at Chang Yu, and immediately smiled at the two small mustaches, like an old man who had not seen him for a long time, and smiled while greeting Chang Yu, "Chang Gongzi, I can be regarded as finding you!" ”
"Looking for me?" Chang Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, isn't this Cao Feng stabbing the Golden Gate, how did he find this place.
Cao Feng smiled sneeringly, bowed to Chang Yu, showed a respectful look on his face, and said, "The villain has no eyes, he offended a lot last night, and I apologize to Chang Gongzi here!" ”
After that, Cao Feng bowed deeply to Chang Yu in a matter-of-fact manner, and bowed his head tightly in front of Chang Yu, as if Chang Yu didn't speak, and he just didn't get up.
Chang Yu frowned, and he didn't know that this person was selling Lao medicine in his gourd, "Steward Cao, what do you mean by this?" ”
