Chapter 134: The Past of the Red Lotus
The genius was slightly bright, and Xuanyuan Che embarked on the journey to Yangzhou. The two ran wildly all the way, and finally arrived in Yangzhou just after noon.
In the flowery building, Qiu Ci and others are stepping up rehearsals, although Childe looks very simple when he demonstrates, but it is not so easy to practice, just like this wide-sleeved dance, their arms are about to be broken, and they still can't achieve the effect described by Childe, everyone can only keep practicing.
"Sister Qiuci, I'm so tired, I don't know where Childe has gone now?"
Monro is the youngest of them, and everyone usually takes good care of her, and she usually likes to play with her sisters.
"You little girl, it's useless to think about something, and I'm not afraid that Aunt Hua will beat you later, so don't hurry up and practice. ”
"Oh, why is Sister Qiuci more severe than Miss, ah, don't practice, don't practice, rest for a while. Monroe shook his arm, no, he really had to rest for a while.
Bang bang, bang bang, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, they closed yesterday, who will come in broad daylight?
Monroe happened to be near the door, shouting that you guys practice first, I'll go and see it and run to the gate. When I opened the door, I saw two people standing outside the door, dusty, very eye-catching, I had never seen them before.
"May I ask who the two of you are looking for, we spend the time when the building is closed, if the two sons are looking for the girl in the building, will they come back after a while?"
Meng Luo looked at these two sons, they were all dignified, which sister was so lucky to fall into the eyes of these two sons.
"Red Lotus" Xuanyuan Che said the name of the red lotus straightforwardly, but the identity of the red lotus was not even known to Long Yi.
Meng Luo looked at this man in black, why did he talk so strangely, should he go in and tell Miss.
Qiu Ci watched Mengluo stand at the door for a long time, if it didn't matter, just blast it away, why was he still entangled there, he felt strange, so he stepped forward and saw that it was not the son of the day who was outside the door, and this time it was still two people.
"Childe, it's you, come in, I'll go and call Red Lotus. Qiu Ci said in his heart, that day, I saw that son standing at the door for a while, how could he suddenly disappear, isn't this coming back again.
As soon as Meng Luo saw that Qiu Ci knew these two people, and they were ***, he hurriedly welcomed the two in.
In the building, the girls are gathered at the door, the stage is in full swing, everyone collectively looks at the two sons who came in, they are the first time to see such a generous person, and a few sisters feel that their hearts are at their disposal.
Honglian was studying the drawings left by Shen Man'er in the house, watching Qiu Ci hurriedly run in, telling her that the boy had come again that day, Honglian stood up and walked out curiously.
Here, Xuanyuan Che had already walked up to the second floor, and Honglian looked at the two people walking on the stairs, and the fan in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"Qiu Ci, you invite Gongzi to the third floor and make a pot of tea. ”
When Qiu Ci heard this, it turned out that the young lady and the boy were acquaintances, so they were busy making tea.
Xuanyuan Che walked up to the third floor, Red Lotus welcomed him into the house, and Long Yi stood at the door, guarding the outside.
In the house, as soon as the door was closed, Honglian knelt down for Xuanyuan Che.
"Your Excellency. ”
"Get up. ”
Xuanyuan Che took the lead in sitting down at the tea table, looking at the drawings scattered on the table, holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully.
"Did she draw it?"
In fact, Xuanyuan Che knew that he could draw such a simple, clear and strange drawing without asking, and there was no second one in the world except her.
After a while, Qiu Ci brought the tea in, and Honglian sat at the tea table and poured a cup for Xuanyuan Che.
"Yes, it was painted by Miss Shen herself, Miss Shen and Honglian cooperated, and now they are the second masters of Huamanlou. ”
Xuanyuan Che curled the corners of her mouth, worthy of her, no matter what situation she was in, she would not miss any opportunity to make money.
"Where is she now?"
Xuanyuan Che looked at these drawings, this time it will not suddenly disappear again.
Honglian frowned depressedly, why did Man'er just leave, and the Venerable came, even if it was a day later, the two met.
"Your Excellency, Miss Shen, she left early this morning. ”
Honglian said in a slur manner, and when Man'er said that she didn't want to stay with the prince at all, she suddenly felt a little sad when she looked at Zun Shang.
Xuanyuan Che held the drawings in his hand, and suddenly felt that it was normal for him not to see Man'er.
"Your Excellency, Miss Shen just left this morning, she said that she was going to Huizhou, and her subordinates couldn't stop her, and her subordinates didn't know where your superiors were at that time, or their subordinates would send someone to chase them back. ”
Xuanyuan Che heard Honglian's words, heard that the girl still remembered them, and knew that he would go to Huizhou to find them first, as for how Man'er got here, he should ask her himself in the future.
"Forget it, Ryuichi and I will set out to chase them later. A few days ago, did I hear the sound of the piano?"
Xuanyuan Che remembered the sound of the piano that day, if he hadn't been arbitrary, it was estimated that he would have met Man'er by now.
It was indeed played by Miss Shen, and Miss Shen also drew this decoration plan for her subordinates, and also taught the girls many songs and dances, Miss Shen promised her subordinates that she would rush back before the Oiran Contest to participate in this year's Oiran Competition, and Miss Shen was bound to win this time. ”
"I've worked hard for you in the past few years, I know you don't want to stay here, you can follow Man'er in the future, and I won't stop you if you want to leave here. ”
Xuanyuan Che remembered that when he told Honglian to open a flower building a few years ago, Honglian was very resistant, and now that Man'er is willing to take over, there is no need for him to force Honglian to stay here.
"Your Excellency's words are serious, your subordinates have stayed here with their sisters in the past few years, and they have long regarded this place as Honglian's home, and now Miss Shen is willing to join Hua Manlou, and her subordinates will not leave here, and their subordinates will definitely complete the tasks assigned by your superiors in the future. ”
If the red lotus did resist in the past, then she loves it very much now, and now it is her family who is here, and she will never give up everything here.
"Okay, then I'm leaving. ”
Xuanyuan Che stood up, intending to continue to chase Man'er, but Honglian knelt on the ground and sent him away.
Xuanyuan Che turned over and got on his horse, galloped in the direction of Huizhou, and halfway there, he saw the corpse of a man in black on the road, and there were fragments of a carriage next to him, and the horse was lying on the ground, already dying.
Long Yi looked at the corpses of the men in black, some of them were hacked to death by swords, and several of them were directly cut throats with weapons, Long Yi rummaged through the bodies of the men in black for a while, and finally found a token of the Weiyuan Dart Game on a man in black.
Xuanyuan Che stood in front of the debris, where the carriage that had been cut in half, on a wooden sign with tassels, the words "Hua Manlou" were particularly eye-catching.
Xuanyuan Che stood there, looking at the broken carriage, and the arm holding the sword was bruised.
"Your Highness, take a look, this is a token found by your subordinates. ”
Long Yi handed the token he had just found to Xuanyuan Che, "In addition, his subordinates found that a few people died in an extremely strange way, and they should have been injured by a hidden weapon, but their subordinates really couldn't see what a secret weapon was." ”
Xuanyuan Che looked at the token in his hand, how could this Weiyuan dart game have anything to do with Man'er, there was no solution, Xuanyuan Che walked in front of those people again, looked at the necks of these people, and they were all killed with one blow, simply and neatly. However, the wound is not very smooth, it should not be a sharp weapon, but a unique technique.
Xuanyuan Che looked around and saw a few scattered leaves on the ground, Xuanyuan Che bent down to reduce a leaf, put it under his nose and smelled it, there was a smell of blood, it seemed that this was the murder weapon.
"These people should have been killed by the leaves, and the person who killed them should be a master. ”
Xuanyuan Che looked at the leaves in his hand, he knew two people with particularly unique techniques, but he hadn't summoned the two of them for a long time, and he didn't know where those two guys had gone.
"Your Highness, will Miss Shen let this master save him? ”
Long Yi looked at the scene, there was no one else's body except the man in black, and the body of the man in black was not disposed of, it should have escaped in a hurry, so Miss Shen should have been rescued now.
"Their carriage has been destroyed, and they shouldn't have gone far, so you can gather the people of the Nether Temple in a moment and search around here to see if you can find any trace of them. ”
Before the two finished speaking, they heard the sound of running in unison, it should be the officers and soldiers coming, the two glanced at each other, got on their horses and left.
