Chapter 5: The Storm (Part II)
The first floor of the Drunken Immortal Residence was already in a mess, and I saw that a table near the stairs had been overturned, and there was a man standing next to him, holding a bench in his hand, and he was smashing it on the other people around him, and there was a man lying at his feet, with his back up, as if he was dead. Other frightened guests were crowding the door, and the prostitutes on the first floor were running desperately to the second floor, all crowded at the top of the stairs. Seeing that he could no longer go downstairs, the young man leaned out of the staircase barrier to investigate the situation.
When he cleared the body at the feet of the man holding the bench. That's Liu Shuheng. Shocked, he immediately turned over and jumped down the stairs and went straight to the corpse. Master Li was frightened by the man's action, and hurriedly climbed over the fence, grabbed the handrail of the stairs, and slowly moved down. finally came to the man's side, and then saw that the man's face had changed greatly, his brows were frowning tightly, his eyes were narrowed, and he still couldn't suppress the anger that was about to burst out:
"Master Li, what do you explain?!" Master Li was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the corpse on the ground, it was Liu Shuheng, Taichang Shaoqing. Isn't he supposed to be in Beijing? How did you get to Drunken Immortal Residence? Before Lord Li could say the question in his heart, the man's hand had already locked his throat, and Lord Li understood what the man meant, it turned out that he thought he had killed Liu Shuheng, so he had to explain:
"The eldest prince, the minister is wronged! It wasn't made by the minister! It wasn't made by the minister! Lord Li was so shocked that he waved his hand again and again, but the person in front of him who was called the Great Prince did not let go because of his explanation, on the contrary, the strength of his fingertips continued to increase, and Lord Li gradually felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the man in front of him raised his head slightly, his nose wrinkled with anger, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
"You must let everyone know that this king is coming to Yangzhou, right?" The voice was so small that only the two of them could hear, "Someone! The eldest prince's voice suddenly increased. Immediately dozens of people dressed in uniform clothes and knives broke in from outside the door, and the leading one ran to the eldest prince and bowed down and clenched his fists:
"Your Highness." The eldest prince didn't turn his head to look at him, but stared at Lord Li, who was locked in his throat:
"Kill." One word, loud and clear. The leader who received the order turned around and made a gesture, and the other men with knives seemed to have permission to kill the innocents around them.
They are going to block the news and extinguish the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence! Jinse suddenly understood their intentions. Walk! Under Jin Se's knee-jerk reaction, the doors and windows on the first floor had been locked.
Can't get out. Jinse glanced at the crowd that was crowding on the second floor, and turned to run towards the cabinet.
After entering the cabinet, Qingyan immediately greeted him and asked anxiously:
"Sister Chuchen, why is it so messy outside?" Jinse turned his head and made a silent gesture to her, and ducked sideways behind the door. With his hands raised, six silver needles flew out, extinguishing the six lamps on the hanging wall on the second floor. The entire Drunken Immortal Residence was plunged into darkness. The screams on the first floor became more and more deafening.
"Sister Chuchen••••••" Jin Se pulled the green smoke who was about to ask:
"Let's go." As he spoke, he dragged Qingyan to the window and tied a dancing ribbon to her, "Jump." ”
Qingyan didn't understand what Jin Se meant at all, but just turned his body out of the window according to Jin Se's meaning, and asked very aggrievedly:
"Sister Chuchen, will I die?" Jin Se unconsciously rolled his eyes, couldn't hold back his desire to get angry, and smiled:
"No, it won't. Go down and run east, and wait for me in a hut in the bamboo forest outside the city. After saying that, he pushed Qingyan downstairs, and Qingyan screamed in shock, and didn't shut up until his feet hit the ground. Qingyan found that she was not dead, and looked up at Jin Se, who was still upstairs, Jin Se made a "run" mouth shape, she relieved herself, tore off the ribbon around her waist vigorously, and ran towards the bamboo forest that Jin Se said in the east.
The sudden extinguishing of the lights did cause a lot of trouble on the first floor, but the eldest prince immediately ordered someone to light the lights again. The drunken immortal residence was in a mess, and corpses were everywhere. The eldest prince glanced at the corpse of Lord Li lying at his feet, and suddenly remembered the oiran named "First Dust". Where did she go? After thinking that she did not come downstairs with her, she turned and walked upstairs, and the leader with the knife stood beside him again:
"Your Highness, it's been settled." The eldest prince glanced at him sideways:
"Find the body of Taichang Shaoqing Liu Shuheng and transport it back to Beijing. You should know what to say to the people in his family. After saying that, he went upstairs, and just after taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something:
"Wait until I come down and burn it all down."
The Grand Prince stepped over the staircase full of corpses and walked to the door of the cabinet on the second floor. The door is closed. Pushing it open with his hand, he saw Jin Se leaning out of the window:
"Girl, is this trying to escape?" Bone-chilling voice. Jin Se Xunsheng turned around and faced the face of the eldest prince:
"The eldest prince is going to kill people." Declarative sentences without tone. The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, thinking that this woman was so calm when she was dying, whether she was really not afraid, or did she no longer want to resist. However, to be honest, the eldest prince really didn't want to kill her. I can't say why, but there is always a faint reluctance in my heart. Seeing that the eldest prince didn't reply, Jin Se was even more sure of his idea of killing people, and smiled instead:
"The eldest prince seems to have made up his mind. Today I had to die. Then may I ask the eldest prince to keep my whole body? With that, he leaned back and fell down the window. The eldest prince was frightened by Jin Se's move, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, but only caught a wisp of coldness from her skirt sweeping over her palm. It's just one step away. The eldest prince leaned out from the windowsill and just happened to see Jin Se falling headlong into the river outside the city, stirring up layers of splashes.
The eldest prince hurriedly descended to the first floor and ordered:
"Fish! To live to see people, to die to see corpses! ”
Jin Se poked his head out of the river outside the city, a mile away from the drunken immortal residence, and spat out a mouthful of water and climbed ashore. From a distance, the Drunken Immortal Residence had fallen into a sea of fire, emitting dazzling light in the dark night. Jin Se sighed, got up, and headed towards the bamboo forest in the east of the city.
The thatched hut in the bamboo forest was built by Xuan Ming for Jin Se, and at that time Xuan Ming knew that Jin Se had come to the drunken immortal residence, and he was afraid that she would not be used to living in it, so he changed a thatched hut for her in the bamboo forest in the east of the city. At that time, Xuan Ming stepped on the ladder to cover the house with grass, Jin Se helped hand the grass under the ladder, and Minglong leaned on the bamboo not far away and said cool words:
"Xuan Ming, you and Jin Se are really like two people! Otherwise, one day you two will talk to the pavilion master and make a marriage for the two of you. Do you think, you two are the best killers in the Phantom Pavilion, and the children you give birth to must be invincible! ”
As soon as the words fell, Xuan Ming threw the scythe used to cut the bamboo and stuck it in the bamboo beside Ming Long, while Jin Se laughed beside him.
Sometimes Jin Se wondered if she and Xuan Ming weren't in the Phantom Pavilion, if they could be like everyone else. Most of the results are that she doesn't know Xuan Ming at all.
Just as he was thinking, Jinse had already walked outside the hut. pushed the door in, only to find Minglong sitting on the table with Erlang's legs crossed.
"Why are you here?" Jin Se was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of Qingyan, and hurriedly asked, "Do you see that I have a little girl named Qingyan?" ”
"No •••••••" Minglong obviously ignored the last question asked by Jin Se, he glanced at Jin Se, still looking cynical.
Minglong always seems to be like this, hippie, and doesn't care about anything. Jin Se is sometimes very strange, how he climbed up from the bottom of the Phantom Pavilion step by step with such a character, until he became one of the top three killers of the Phantom Pavilion on the same level as himself and Xuan Ming. Jin Se once asked him, but his answer was that he wanted to go up because he wanted to live, and now there is no one in the Phantom Pavilion who can endanger his life, but he wants to kill people who he knows nothing outside, and if he is lucky, he can complete the task, and if he is unlucky, he will be in a different place. Every day, I don't know if I can see the sun the next day, so it's better to have fun in time and live happily, and if I really want to die, I can die without regrets. Thinking about it this way, Minglong's idea is not wrong.
Jin Se was completely dumbfounded, shook his head, and walked to the back room. Only then did Minglong see Jin Se's outfit, and he was immediately interested:
"I said Holy Hand, you want to be a girl when you change into women's clothes! Can you stop kidding! Are you going to play in the water? Don't you know how to water, how can you make it like a chicken in soup! Hahaha••••••" Jin Se suddenly got angry and didn't fight anywhere, turned his head with a roll of his eyes, and replied to him viciously:
"Roll !!" Minglong saw that Jin Se was angry, and wanted to tease her more and more, and then looked at the thin clothes on Jin Se's body, and he didn't know how to follow the sentence:
"Tut-tut•••••• Holy Hand, you said that you usually wear men's clothes, I didn't find that you are so good, bumpy and convex, but you are too thin, not plump enough, and you need more nutrition." As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled strangely at Jin Se, Jin Se squinted, there was a murderous aura in his eyes that could not be hidden, and said to Ming Long lightly:
"If you want to die, I don't mind giving you a ride." After speaking, he smiled at Minglong, and Minglong's hairs stood on end. The next moment, Jin Se had already slammed on the door of the back room.
When Jin Se changed his clothes and came out of the back room, he saw Qingyan sitting next to Minglong, and Minglong was holding an apple in his mouth, and it was on fire again:
"Minglong, didn't you say you didn't see Qingyan?! Then how do you explain the one next to you! Ming Long glanced at the green smoke and said nonchalantly:
"So you're talking about her." Qingyan saw Jin Se and hurriedly stood up, Jin Se waved her hand to signal her to sit down, suppressed the fire, exhaled a breath, and forced herself to be calm:
"Good. I want to know now why you're here to find me, can't you bother Xuan Ming if you have the leisure? ”
Xuanming! That's right! How did I forget about business. Minglong suddenly bounced up and shouted:
"It's over, it's over, Holy Hand, you hurry up and go back with me, Xuan Ming is poisoned!" Hearing this, Jin Se gasped, and finally broke out, grabbed Minglong and walked out. Qingyan saw that Jin Se was leaving, and stood up:
"Sister Chuchen, you are leaving, what should I do?" Jin Se looked back and saw Qingyan's aggrieved appearance, and really regretted why he wanted to save her. Save it, save it, and you can't ignore it now. So he pulled out a silver ticket from his sleeve:
"Sister has something. You take the money, buy some food for yourself, and don't run around if you have nothing to do. I'll be back to you in a few days. After speaking, he pulled Minglong out.
On the riverside outside the city, the eldest prince stood with his hands in his hands. Dozens of people in front of him were holding the boat and stopping on the river, as if they were salvaging something. The Drunken Immortal Residence behind him has now been razed to the ground, and now only a scorched black place remains.
Sunset. A remnant of red spread on the river outside the city, like blood, desperate but gorgeous, reflecting the music fang singing and dancing on the riverside outside the city, and the disappearing drunken immortal residence is like a dead city. A retinue-like man ran from the river to the eldest prince, bowed down and clenched his fists;
"Your Highness, no woman's body was found." The eldest prince narrowed his eyes and pursed the corners of his mouth tightly. There was no corpse of the Oiran Hatsuchen in the whole river, which meant that she was not dead. Thinking of this, a ripple stirred up in the eldest prince's heart. He was a little happy. No, he shouldn't be happy, no one knows about his visit to Yangzhou Jingshi this time, if she doesn't die, there will definitely be a leak, and two ministers died here at once, if it spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable. Now that she's not dead, she has to strike first, so that no one will believe her even if she knows the truth.
"Back to Beijing." Thinking of this, the eldest prince turned around and said coldly.
