Chapter 245: Ten Thousand Phoenixes
Tsing Yi Lou's so-called Oiran election is not too much to be written about. Because in Jiang Xia's view, the few Oirans who participated in the election on the stage are beautiful, but in terms of temperament and charm, they can only be said to be average.
Even Jiang Xia felt that they were far inferior to Qin Jiashu.
After watching the Oiran campaign, Jiang Xia and the others returned to their respective rooms under the leadership of the turtle prince.
Since they had to travel the next day, they went to bed early.
Jiang Xia drove out the girl that Qin Jiasu had arranged for him before going to bed, and he didn't know how Ma Yunfeng and Yu Ren were.
In the second half of the night, Jiang Xia suddenly smelled a thick smell of smoke when he was sleeping.
Jiang Xia immediately rolled over from the bed, and then immediately heard the sound of "dong dong dong" banging gongs, and several men shouted loudly: "Run, fire, run!" ”
On fire? Jiang Xia immediately opened the door and ran out.
Zhu Houzhao's room was next door to Jiangxia, and Zhong Bin and Han Mufeng were in charge of protecting him today.
When Jiang Xia ran next door, Zhu Houzhao also happened to run out of the room.
Zhu Houzhao said puzzledly: "How could there be a sudden fire?" ”
"Someone should have deliberately set the fire, let's not talk about it for the time being, let's go quickly." Jiangxia Road.
"Feng'er! I need to go see how Feng'er is doing. Zhu Houzhao said.
"Zhu Shou, I'm fine." Li Feng walked over accompanied by Su Meiniang and Yu Ren.
Ma Yunfeng also scolded and said in his mouth: "His grandmother's, how could it suddenly catch fire?" I'm just getting started. ”
Jiang Xia glanced at everyone and nodded: "Okay, now that we are all together, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go!" ”
"Okay." Everyone responded in unison.
Walking out of the Tsing Yi Building, the fire that started from the backyard gradually spread to the front yard, and the entire Tsing Yi Building was thick with smoke.
Jiang Xia stood on the street and frowned, he was thinking about why the Tsing Yi Building would suddenly catch fire, could it be the revenge of that fat man Shen Wanfu?
If it really was, then Jiang Xia felt that he might owe that Hou Cong Hou Gongzi a lot of favors.
Jiang Xia and the others walked in the direction of the city gate of Xianning Mansion, preparing to wait until dawn when the city gate was opened and then go out of the city.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the city, Jiang Xia heard someone fighting in front of him. Seven men in strong suits fought with a young man and a woman.
The young man was visibly exhausted and had suffered multiple injuries on his body.
Jiang Xia saw that it was Hou Cong, and immediately glanced at them.
Qian Juexing and Han Mufeng ran over at the same time to join the battle group, with the skills of the two of them, the seven men didn't even have the strength to fight back at all, they died after just a few moves, and they ran.
Jiang Xia walked over, Hou Cong had a few colors hanging on his arms and back, he held a long sword with his right hand, looked up at Jiang Xia and gasped and shouted, "Brother Jiang." ”
Qin Jiashu, who was following Hou Cong and was obviously not lightly frightened, also blushed and shouted: "Jiang Gongzi." ”
Jiang Xia nodded and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Why did Tsing Yi Building suddenly catch fire? Did the guy surnamed Shen do it? ”
"I don't know what to do, everything came too suddenly." Hou Cong said.
Jiang Xia saw that Hou Cong seemed to be injured a lot, so he said: "Forget it, let's talk about these things later, first find an inn with me to stay, I have a friend here who is proficient in medical skills." Wait until he heals you. ”
Hou Cong glanced at Jiang Xia, then nodded and said, "So there is Brother Lao Jiang." ”
Jiang Xia patted Hou Cong's shoulder: "You're welcome." ”
In the middle of the night, many inns were closed. Jiang Xia spent several times the price to find an inn to settle in.
Since there were only three rooms left in the inn, Jiang Xia arranged for Hou Cong to live in one, Zhu Houzhao to live in one, and then Li Feng and Qin Jiashu lived in one room together.
The rest of the people, except for the ghost three needles who were treating Hou Cong's wounds, all sat in the hall with Jiang Xia.
When it was almost dawn, the ghost three needles came downstairs.
When he sat down in front of Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia poured a cup of tea for the ghost three needles and asked, "How is Hou Cong's injury?" ”
Ghost Sanzhen shook his head and said: "The injuries are not light, two of them almost hurt the vital point, but now there is nothing to do, and it will heal in seven days at most after applying my medicine." ”
"So ruthless?" Jiang Xia's brows furrowed.
Leng Yu on the side asked Jiang Xia: "Master, do you think this matter was done by the previous Shen Wanfu?" ”
Jiang Xia shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's a pity that we are still in a hurry, otherwise I really want to check it out, if it is really the old man made by the dead fat man, I have to peel off his three layers of skin." ”
When it was dawn, Zhu Houzhao and Li Feng both got up.
Jiang Xia went upstairs to say goodbye to Hou Cong, and when he entered Hou Cong's room, he found that Hou Cong was looking at the top of the mosquito net on the bed, and tears were sliding from the corners of his eyes.
The huge Tsing Yi Building is gone if it is gone, which is a huge blow to anyone, let alone the young Hou Cong.
Jiang Xia shook his head and walked to Hou Cong's bed and sat down, asking, "How does the injury feel?" Is there any better? ”
Hou Cong turned his head to look at Jiang Xia, a smile appeared on his face, Hou Cong nodded and said, "The ghost doctor's medical skills are indeed powerful, and the medicine feels very comfortable on the wound." ”
"What's next?" Jiang Xia continued to ask.
Hou Cong sighed and said, "Tsing Yi Building is gone, and I can only go back to my hometown next." ”
"Where is your hometown?"
"Huguang, Changsha, Chalingzhou."
Jiang Xia was shocked: "You are also from Chaling Prefecture in Changsha Prefecture?" ”
"What does Brother Jiang mean?"
"Huh." Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Coincidentally, my master is also from Chaling Prefecture in Changsha Prefecture. Since you and I are on the same road, let's just go on the road together. ”
"This" Hou Cong hesitated: "Will I drag down Brother Jiang like this?" ”
"You're welcome, it's settled, I'll contact the carriage." After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he got up and left.
Not long after Jiang Xia walked out of the door, Qin Jiashu entered Hou Cong's room.
After seeing Hou Cong, Qin Jiashu asked, "Young Master, your injury"
Hou Cong shook his head and said, "The injury has been much better after being healed by the ghost doctor. ”
"That's good." Then Qin Jiashu asked: "Young Master, did you tell Jiang Gongzi and them that this arson is likely to be done by Shen Gongzi and them?" ”
"Why are you telling them this?" Hou Cong asked rhetorically.
"I think Jiang Gongzi and they are good, I told them that maybe they will help you rebuild Tsing Yi Building."
"No need. I am strong myself, and I am willing to bear the consequences myself, and I don't need help from others. ”
After listening to Hou Cong say this, Qin Jiashu didn't know what to say for the time being.
And Jiang Xia also jumped down on the beam of the corridor and took two glances at Hou Cong's room before leaving.
Qin Jiashu, who had been lying behind the window and looking at the situation outside the corridor through a small hole, immediately walked to Hou Cong's side after seeing Jiang Xia leave.
"Little Wangye, you guessed right, Jiang Xia was indeed eavesdropping just now, but now he is gone."
Hou Cong's eyes suddenly became sharp, and it seemed that even his temperament had changed at this moment.
Hou Cong nodded and said, "I really didn't guess wrong, this Jiangxia is indeed a cautious person. ”
"Little prince, the news sent by Aunt Qin is that we should kill these people, why did you burn down Tsing Yi Building?"
Hou Cong glanced at Qin Jiashu and said, "Jiashu, you remember, the relationship between us and 'Wanhuang' is only a cooperative relationship, not a subordination.
They told me to find a way to kill Jiang Xia, but it doesn't mean that I have to listen to them.
What are the benefits of killing Jiang Xia? It is better to approach him, befriend him, and gain his trust. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the greater good had been done to kill him? ”
"But in this case, that Wanhuang is over there" Qin Jiashu was a little worried.
Hou Cong shook his head and said, "It's okay, since Wan Huang asked us to make a move, they must have no choice." So it's normal that we can't finish it. In order to kill them, I even burned down the Tsing Yi Building, what do they want me to do? ”
"Alas, Tsing Yi Lou said that it would be burned, and many girls were trapped inside and couldn't come out, and I don't know if they could escape after the most difficult road."
"Those who become big things are informal, a Qinglou can block Wan Huang's mouth, and at the same time win Jiang Xia's trust, which is enough.
And Tsing Yi Lou is useless in Xianning Mansion, we will go to Beijing to reopen Tsing Yi Lou, and that is when Jia Su shows your wrist. ”
When the time was approaching noon, Jiang Xia prepared two carriages, one was naturally Zhu Houzhao and Li Feng's, and the other was handed over to Hou Cong and Qin Jiashu to ride.
Everyone continued on the road to Changsha Mansion.
At this moment, two boats were parked at the Jingshi Wharf of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, one was the car and ship of Dongchang, and the other was the play boat of Feng Chaohuang.
The emperor's southern tour has ended, and he is on his way back at the moment, Liu Jin knows that the emperor who is now returning is a fake, so he returned to Beijing first.
As soon as Liu Jin got on the dock, "Fly", one of the big stalls in the East Factory who came to greet him, came to Liu Jin.
"Fly" is in charge of intelligence in the East Factory, and the reason why he has this nickname is because his talent in intelligence work is different from ordinary people, and the intelligence work of the East Factory is pervasive by him.
The second is because his name is Shi Shangfei.
As soon as the fly saw Liu Jin, he whispered to him: "Overseer, the person you are looking for has been found, and he is indeed in the capital. ”
Liu Jin nodded and said, "Take me to see him immediately." ”
"Yes!" The fly nodded.
Liu Jin was about to walk away but suddenly grabbed the fly, and he said to himself a little strangely: "Huh? Isn't that Gonggong Li next to the Queen Mother? ”
"That's right, it's him." The fly nodded in confirmation.
I saw Gonggong Li walk up to the Feng Chaohuang Opera Team, and his voice rose slightly: "The Queen Mother, please invite the whole class of Feng Chaohuang to perform in the palace, you can go with me." ”
Everyone in Feng Chaohuang immediately knelt down on one knee and responded: "Yes!" ”
