When Ling Xiao regained consciousness, she was lying on her side in a carriage, the light in the carriage was dim, her hands and feet were firmly bound by thick ropes, she felt weak and her head was dizzy and painful. The carriage had no intention of stopping, and the road was uneven and bumpy because of the speed of travel. She didn't know what it was going to be

Where to take her, she struggled to break free, but the rope was too tight to help.

I don't know how long it took, the car finally stopped bumping, the curtain was lifted, and Ling Xiao turned his head to see that it was a man in a coarse cloth coat and a thin body.

Ling Xiao asked in a cold tone, "Where are you taking me?" She thought that she had nothing to do with this person, and that she could sneak into the Hou Mansion to arrest people, and she thought that she must have been ordered by others.

The man said, "We have been away from Jundu for five days, and it is impossible for you to go back, and we are only doing things with silver." Someone wants you to live rather than die, and we can only do it. As for where to go, we are only responsible for bringing you to this 'drunken studio', and we will not be in charge of the rest. "After that,

Two more Xiao Si came in the carriage and forcibly led her out of the carriage, the dazzling sunlight instantly made it difficult for her eyes to open, her body ached, and she had no strength to resist, at this time she was like a puppet and let them take her into the so-called 'Drunken Shadow Building' and locked up in a room.

The windows in the room are closed, the furnishings are simple, but she is not the only one who closes, there are several exotic women with three-dimensional and delicate facial features and several Central Plains women who are also good-looking, all of them are bound with ropes, their eyes are full of despair and fear, and some of their bodies are full of traces of whipping.

Shocking.

After the two Xiao Si left, Ling Xiao struggled to support himself and sat up. She didn't know where it was, and looking at these frightened women, she thought it wasn't a good place to come.

Ling Xiao thought about it, she hadn't been in Jundu for long, except for a few times in the palace, she stayed in the mansion on weekdays, if she had a holiday with someone, it was the one she sent to the Qinglou, but it was unlikely. Maybe it's not impossible that Zhongli is the enemy of the previous tree.

Thinking about it, time passed, Ling Xiao's head was no longer as drowsy as when he first woke up, and he was already half awake, but his body was still weak. The unpleasant smell that came into her nose that night was their **, but the medicine was so strong that she slept for five days.

The door creaked open, and into enter, a woman in her forties and fifties, dressed in fancy clothes, and a young woman with a waist as graceful as a willow, followed by several tall and sturdy men.

The woman spoke first: "This is what you brought today?" That's it. She pointed at Ling Xiao and said.

"That's her." The woman replied.

"Look at her clothes, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to wear them in the Central Plains, but what about her noble status? It's not like ants these days. Ling Xiao felt that what the woman said was not the truth! Without the blessing of the Hou Mansion, Zhong Liyan was nothing.

"You don't have to be jealous of other people's status, no matter what her identity is, wait a few days to embark on the road to the Japanese Kingdom, that is the beginning of her 'good life'." The woman smiled slyly and spoke in a strange way.

"Wa Guo? Where is this now? When Ling Xiao heard the word "Wa Guo", she knew that it was not good, it was the name of Japan in ancient times, if she really crossed the sea to Japan, then there was no possibility of coming back in this life, this is small, it is a strange place for her, but what worries her is that it is a notoriously barbarian land

。

"This is the famous 'Drunken Shadow Building' at the junction of the Central Plains Kingdom and the Donghuan Kingdom, and you are carefully selected by me to be sold to the Wa Kingdom." The woman smirked.

From the woman's words, Ling Xiao already knew that she was now in the Qinglou, and the woman in front of her was the old bustard of the Qinglou, and the women in this room were all preparing to be sent to Japan with her. The man in the carriage said that someone wanted her to live worse than death, so he sold her to the barbarian land of Japan.

Ling Xiao suddenly wondered who hated her so much, and actually acted so ruthlessly.

The old bustard stopped laughing, twisted her no longer coquettish body and came to Ling Xiao step by step, just when Ling Xiao didn't know what her purpose was, but felt that the old bustard took something off her head, and the voice sounded again: "I haven't seen such a delicate hairpin!" It's a lot of money

。 Ling Xiao looked up when she heard the sound and found that the old bustard was holding the hairpin that Yanling Zhan gave her in her hand and sighed and admired it. Ling Xiao felt that it was just a hairpin, it was no big deal, and it was important to try to escape.

What Ling Xiao didn't care about, others didn't necessarily care, and the old bustard had just taken the hairpin in his hand not long ago, and was snatched by the woman. "Mom, you have a lot of good things, why don't you give me this hairpin." The woman said delicately, showing her charm.

"My little ancestor of Oiran, do you have less gold and silver jewelry? How did you get the hard-won hairpin?" After saying that, he was about to grab it, but the woman turned and walked away with light steps.

When I got to the door of the room, I didn't forget to say, "What is Mom doing so stingy?" Isn't the money I made for you as good as a hairpin?" The old bustard seemed very unwilling, but he didn't know how to refute the Oiran.

After leaving, he muttered in a low voice: "If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have brought you this little slut with me, my wings are stiff." Ling Xiao really felt sarcastic when she heard it, she couldn't help but sneer and hooked her lips, it seems that the temptation of wealth to people has not changed since ancient times, ridiculous.

Ling Xiao is like this now, even if he really escapes from this drunken studio, I am afraid that he will not be able to go far, he has not eaten for five days, and his body naturally can't bear it, and if he wants to escape, he needs to find a place where the guards are lax. So she said coldly, "I haven't eaten for five days, and I don't think you want me to starve to death."

Right? Get me some food. And you tie me up like this, if the skin is worn out, it will be worthless, your house is impermeable, and you can't escape if you want to. "Interests are always the bargaining chips of the initiative, and only by learning to change from passive to active can we achieve the goal.

Sure enough, after listening to Ling Xiao's words, the old bustard thought for a moment and instructed the people beside him: "Untie their ropes, no one has been able to escape from under my nose." ”

"By the way, get me a lyre and find clean clothes, just rely on my clothes, if you are seen by outsiders, be careful of causing ** annoyance." Her hands and feet were free as she spoke, but the strangulation marks on her wrists were clearly visible.

"I'm not very old, but when I speak, I seem to think about me everywhere, but in fact, I am planning for myself, whether you were the county lord or the princess before, since you have come to me, you have to listen to me, as long as you are obedient and obedient, unlike them, I will meet your requirements." The bustard finished

I didn't forget to point to the other women.

Of course, you can't wear the clothes on Ling Xiao's body when you escape, it is too conspicuous, and the long curved skirt is very inconvenient to move. As for the piano, of course, it has its own wonderful use.

Soon after the bustard left, someone brought her what she wanted, and although the food was difficult to swallow, it was better than starving.

By nightfall, the downstairs hall was bustling with the sounds of drunken men, women's laughter and scolding, and the orchestral sounds of cabaret performances. Outside it was so singing and dancing, and their room was closed

It was dark and silent, and the women did not know how many days they had been imprisoned, and they may have tried to escape at first, but the result was predictable, and when they were caught, they were beaten badly, and gradually they became numb and began to resign themselves to their fate. Although Ling Xiao is cold-blooded, she is also a woman, so she can't help it

A little more sympathy. But she is not a savior, now she is difficult to protect, although she has compassion and pity, but she will not do anything beyond her power, Ling Xiao doesn't know how many innocent women's lives have been ruined by this drunken shadow building, thinking that this account will be slowly settled in the future.

Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, put the piano on her laps, and groped her hands in the dark to play, this was the first time she played the piano in an environment where she couldn't see her fingers, although she couldn't see it, it didn't affect her playing.

A song "Drunken Fishing Evening Song" sounded in the dark, and the wooden doors and windows could never stop the melodious sound of the piano wafting outside the house. Although the music of the pre-Qin qin is impeccable, the music of the later Han dynasty is equally touching and beautiful. And the song of the pre-Qin period is already familiar to the world, and there is nothing new. And this one was written in the evening

The Tang Dynasty's "Drunken Fishing Singing Night" is not inferior to other famous songs, and his charm cannot be ignored, which they have never heard.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the door to be opened, and several subordinates walked in with paper lamps and embraced the bustard, and the room was instantly much brighter. Ling Xiao ignored it, his fingers still caressing between the strings, until the song was finished, and then he stopped his finger movements.

"I didn't expect that! You've got such a stunt. The old bustard clapped his hands and said.

"I'm the pianist in the palace, it's just a tune, what's so difficult." Ling Xiao said in confidence.

"I said, I look like a native of North Vietnam, but I am wearing the noble clothes of the Central Plains." The bustard seemed to understand these things.

"This is the honor given to me by the fourth prince, so that I have the same courtesy treatment as the concubine, but then he had a new love, and I was calculated again, so I arrived in this drunken studio." Yan Ling's abuse is known to the world, and Ling Xiao can't take care of it now, so he can only be sorry for him, and use him to fulfill this lie, in the future

Apologize to him again.

"So you are still a side concubine abandoned by the four princes, but I didn't expect a side concubine from my drunken studio." The old bustard laughed sarcastically.

"This good piano skill can't be ruined, go and prepare a room for the girl, so that I can watch it." After the bustard finished speaking to the people around him, he turned around and left.

A profit-oriented person like Lao Bustard will not let go of any person or thing that is beneficial to her. If Ling Xiao wants to leave here, she must first dispel the idea of the bustard selling her to Japan, and then gain her trust. It's ridiculous to think about it, after dying once, she became so persistent in her desire for life, she was indifferent

Everything, people who don't like to be soft can now put down their dignity and deal with an old bustard, even at the cost of lying repeatedly, and the purpose is not to fall into the hands of others and be tortured. She thought that this was the human desire to survive and the instinct to preserve innocence.

In the second half of the night, when the outside gradually quieted down, two people came in and brought Ling Xiao into another separate room. There were a few lights lit in the room, although they were not as bright as in the room when she was in the Hou Mansion, but they could see clearly. The furnishings are obviously more complex than the previous one, which has a bed, a table and a piano, and the basic furnishings are all

furnishings among them. It's inevitable that there are still people guarding the door.

Early the next morning, the old bustard and the woman came, still as they had been yesterday, one with flowers and branches, and the other with graceful colors.

Ling Xiao ignored them, and sat quietly, one finger plucking the strings at will, and the sound came out intermittently, sometimes dull, sometimes crisp, big or small.

"What about me! After thinking about it, it's a pity to send you to the Wa Kingdom, as long as you are obedient and don't want to run away, play the piano for the guests every night, pick up the guests, I will leave you behind, how about it? The bustard sat down across from her and said haughtily.

Ling Xiao said coldly: "It's okay to play the piano, but if it's to pick up guests, then you still send me to the Wa Kingdom, with my piano skills, even if I go to the Wa Kingdom, I will get good treatment." If you forcibly leave me to pick up guests, then I will only die, there are many ways to want to die in this world, you think

Stopping it is also powerless, and when the time comes, it will be a pity to lose both people and money. "Ling Xiao knew that when dealing with such a person, he couldn't back down.

The old bustard thought for a moment and said: "It's not that I don't agree, if there are guests who have to ask you, then I can't stop it, I can't afford to offend some dignitaries." ”

"As long as you agree, you don't have to worry about other things, I have my own way." Ling Xiao said.

"Okay, as you say, tonight will begin." The old bustard said.

"Yes, but you have to do a few things for me." Ling Xiao: This is for the foolproof of the night.

The bustard said helplessly: "My little aunt, what else do you have to do?" Don't get an inch. ”

"It's very simple, put a light gauze curtain in the place where I play at night, and get me a small piece of dummy skin, and a mask for Ayara." How many people come to Qinglou who are not judged by their appearance? Ling Xiao just wants to create a sense of loss for these people as much hope as there is disappointment

Come.

"As long as I can earn money, these things are up to you." Nothing is more important than silver in the eyes of the old bustard, and the old bustard continued: "You will be called Qianyan in the future, you are good at the piano, and Miao Ying is good at dancing." The warbler that the bustard was referring to was the Oiran woman next to her.

"If you don't have anything else to do, go get ready for the night." Ling Xiao looked at the old bustard standing there as an eyesore.

"Miao Ying, aren't you leaving?" The old bustard walked to the door and saw that Miao Ying did not follow her.

"Mom, you go first." Miao Ying said in a coquettish voice.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Ling Xiao asked without emotion.

She didn't answer Ling Xiao's words, but asked, "Are the women of your palace as scheming as you?" ”

Ling Xiao smiled sarcastically after hearing her words: "If I was scheming, why would I end up like this." "A moment of negligence, it was reduced to the green building.

After listening to Ling Xiao's words, she didn't ask anything more, got up and left.
