Chapter 17: The Devils of Hell
Song Guichen originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see Gu Yi and show him the yellow bead to see what kind of treasure this bead was.
But seeing that Gu Ziying and Du Qingshan were both there, there were many people and it was difficult to speak, so he didn't tell them about the assassination of Han Cai by Duan Chef Niang a few days ago, but just talked for a while, and then offered to leave.
Seeing that she was leaving, Du Qingshan straightened up: "You have been towering in Cuilou these days?" β
"Well, if it doesn't go well, you can only go to the Towering Green Building first."
"What does that mean?"
"Literally." Song Guichen leaned in front of Du Qingshan with a smile, "What, you want to be my little follower?" β
"It's okay." Du Qingshan smiled rhetorically, "Follow Xiaochen, there is delicious wine and meat, and elegant music to listen to, why not do it?" β
Seeing that he was thinking seriously and seemed to be really ready to be his little follower, Song Guichen was speechless for a while.
"Come on, I still have something to do in the back kitchen, so I'm leaving."
Song Guichen ignored Du Qingshan's ridicule and teasing, and got up and said to Gu Yi:
"Gu Gongzi, your fiancΓ©e, whose name is also Song Guichen, really has no vision, if she knew that Gu Gongzi was so talented and handsome, she would probably regret her death."
Although Lu Junyu was also born well, compared with Gu Yi, it was still a little worse.
Song Guichen no longer remembered when he first saw Lu Junyu
A long, long time ago.
When she and Master first settled in the Lonely Mountain, Master swam in the mountains and rivers, leaving her alone in the hut, with no friends and no one to talk to, and the only friends were the two white cranes raised in the courtyard.
Until one time, she heard the bells coming from the Xunyin Temple on the mountain, and out of curiosity, she sneaked into the Xunyin Temple, where she met Lu Junyu, who was dressed in a coarse cloth monk's robe.
At that time, she didn't know that his common name was Lu Junyu, but she only knew that his legal name was Wusheng.
The two children hit it off at first sight and became good friends who talked about everything.
until she is slim and full of girlish feelings;
And he is dressed in a robe, and he only wants to benefit all beings.
Song Guichen's thoughts about Lu Junyu, Lu Junyu knew it.
But he is devoted to the Buddha, and after he got older and had the defense of men and women, he has been avoiding Song Guichen, and he spared no effort to avoid being alone with Song Guichen.
However, Song Guichen always stubbornly did not call him by his law name, only called him Lu Junyu.
Thinking of Lu Junyu, Song Guichen couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, and sighed imperceptibly.
Her every move was seen by Du Qingshan, who had been paying attention to her.
A little girl had such a sad face and a worried look, Du Qingshan only felt that it was very disobedient, and the awkward feeling of being scolded by her as a "little rabbit cub" on the way to escape came to her heart again.
Du Qingshan said: "I think someone has an undeserved mind about our brother Gu, so he lives others with himself." β
Song Guichen glared at him: In front of people, don't be so faceless, okay?
Gu Yi hurriedly smiled and played a round game: "If there is a chance, Gu will try his best to introduce Miss Xiaochen and Miss Song." β
"Thank you very much."
Song Guichen hugged his fists and made a nondescript salute, glared at Du Qingshan again, and left without looking back.
Gu Yi and Gu Ziying both looked at Du Qingshan, quite funny: "This Xiaochen girl and Brother Du are really on the needle, they met for a while, they didn't say a few words, and they quarreled to account for more than half of them." β
Gu Ziying also said: "Yes, yes, Brother Du, haven't you been looking for her, now that you have finally found her, why don't you take her away, anyway, since she can only work as a cook in the Towering Building, there should be no place to go." β
Du Qingshan stroked a strand of hair on her forehead and said with a smile: "She's amazing, maybe she can give full play to her talents when she is a cook?" β
As he spoke, he glanced at the dining table where the food had already been removed, and thought very happily: There will be a place to continue eating and drinking in the future.
The spring is cold, and although the spring in the south of the Yangtze River comes early, it also brings a bit of chill.
In his spare time, Song Guichen often stands on the west side of the third floor of the West Building and looks at the West Lake in the distance.
On the third floor of the towering green building is a whole square hall, and the west side is specially fenced to enclose the viewing platform for viewing the West Lake, from here, the scenery of the West Lake can be seen at a glance.
The boats in the lake are hidden and sparkling, but unfortunately, you can't see the lonely mountain where the master is.
Song Guichen looked out the window, thinking about how to go up the lonely mountain again, and then thinking about what happened in the towering green building.
The beads that Duan Yi'an gave him had not yet been handed over to Master Gu Tixing.
Gu Yi never came to the Towering Mansion once that day, but Du Qingshan often visited the Towering Building.
Song Guichen glanced at Lin Qi, who was standing at the door of the third floor, shrinking his head, and couldn't help frowning.
Every time she came out of the Cuilou these days, Lin Qi would follow her, claiming that it was to protect her, but Song Guichen knew that it was Han Song who was asking him to spy on him.
Song Guichen regretted it.
I knew that I would have directly handed over the bead to Gu Yi that day and asked him to bring it to Gu Ti for punishment.
"Xiaochen, you are here, you can make it easy for me to find." Zhou Qiang opened the door and came in, Lin Qi touched his head, and smiled behind him.
Zhou Qiang said: "Han Caiban is looking for you, downstairs, go quickly." β
Song Guichen chuckled in his heart, glanced at Lin Qi, who was embarrassed and touched his head, didn't say anything, and walked downstairs.
In an account room, Han Song quietly lit sandalwood, and when he saw Song Guichen coming, he smiled slightly, and pointed to the chair on the side: "You are here, sit." β
Song Guichen sat down nervously, and Han Song smiled and said, "I called you here, nothing else, I just want to ask you, have you seen a milky yellow bead?" β
"Creamy beads?"
Han Song walked towards Song Guichen step by step: "You know, Duan Yi'an intended to assassinate me just to steal a bead from me. β
"No, I don't know. Brother Han, what are you talking about? β
"Xiaochen, you are a smart person, you should know that Brother Han is not so easy to deceive. Duan Yi'an has already confessed in the prison, and the beads are not on her. Han Song's deep eyes stared at Song Guichen, "That day, only you saw Duan Yi'an. β
"Brother Han is suspicious of what beads you said are on me?"
"Not a doubt, it's a certainty."
Song Guichen sat up straight, looked up at Han Song, and didn't dare to hesitate.
Han Song said: "That bead is my family heirloom, it was taken away by Duan Yi'an, I naturally want to take it back, Xiaochen, do you understand?" β
"I really haven't seen the yellow beads that Brother Han said, what does it look like? Brother Han told me, maybe I can help Brother Han find it. Song Guichen didn't admit it.
Han Song sneered, and suddenly condescendingly grabbed Song Guichen's neck with one hand, and stopped Song Guichen's struggling hands on the chair behind him with the other: "Don't force me." β
"Ahem...... Han...... Big brother, I'm ......"
Song Guichen was a small man, kicking with both feet, struggling unsuccessfully, only to feel that his neck was pinched by his long and powerful ten fingers, and his internal organs began to curl up.
Han Song said fiercely: "I'll tell you honestly, Duan Yi'an is dead, a person like her, if that bead doesn't land, she won't seek death." β
Die...... He's dead?
Song Guichen's heart was slightly cold, and he was horrified.
Han Song in front of him was like a demon crawling out of hell, and he said the word "dead" lightly, as if it was not a human life.
