Chapter 106: Lucky Escape

Qianjiao Baimei was originally the most famous green building in the capital of the Huns, and it was also the favorite place of the Hun boss to linger in Fengyue, whether it was a businessman who made money every day, or an important minister in the court, he was a frequent visitor here. Perhaps because of the defeat of the Huns, this green building gradually lost its former charm, and it was only for a livelihood to open its doors every night.

Regardless of whether the Xiongnu can still regain their strength in the Western Regions, the extravagant life of these dignitaries and nobles will continue, and they are not willing to bring their hard-earned money into the coffin, since the country does not know when it will be destroyed, it is better to live every day happily, regardless of whether he will be thunder and lightning or wind and sun tomorrow.

The peony fairy, the peerless dancer introduced by the old bustard of the Qinglou, has attracted everyone's attention before she takes the stage. I saw her wearing a dark gauze skirt, and her skin was as white as snow, although it was not like an ordinary dancer, either plain white tulle or colorful clothes, this kind of dress first made people feel fresh. And she seems to have been born to fit this color, and when she wears it all over her body, she not only feels too depressed and dull, but has an otherworldly temperament.

The peony fairy danced gracefully, swaying back and forth with the rhythm of the music and drums, and she walked gracefully, as if walking in the woods, and suddenly jumped up in the air and swirled in mid-air. Sometimes it is as soft as water, sometimes it is as strong as the wind, it is really like a dragon playing in the water and a golden phoenix flying.

While Liu Ye admired her dancing, he also looked curiously at her face covered with tulle, and could vaguely see her full forehead and those lowered eyes. I don't know why, she always feels that she should have seen this peony fairy somewhere, but if she thinks back to the dancers she knows with outstanding dancing skills, it seems that she doesn't have such a look.

After a few glasses of wine, the guests felt warm all over, and unconsciously moved the idea of the peony fairy, some of them relied on their wealth and power, and even thought about how much they would pay to get this rare beauty later.

"Hey, Sanlola, come here......"

When the charming old bustard heard someone calling him, he turned his head and saw that it was a regular customer, and hurriedly trotted over with a smile, sat next to the regular customer, and poured him a glass of wine: "Oh, Master Cooper, you haven't been here for many days, I see you today, I don't want to mention how comfortable I am, as soon as you come, I think the sky is much brighter." ”

Saying that, Sang Luola actually began to sob, pursed her lips aggrievedly, and paused for a moment before saying: "Since what happened, I thought you would never come again, pity me as a woman, in order to feed these girls, you have to continue to do it, don't you, otherwise, you can't let the girls live on the streets and starve and freeze!" ”

The thin old man Cooper with a face like a shoehorn drank her toast, took the initiative to pour her a glass, and comforted: "Look at what you said, with your charming reputation, as long as you can open the door to do business, you can support yourself no matter how poor you are." ”

"Yes, it's all thanks to the uncles who are willing to give us a chance to live, so we didn't end up sleeping in the open air." Sang Luola's eyes were red, and she sobbed again, "However, my little master is not so lucky, he was exiled to such a far place, and I don't know if he can adapt to it, he has been pampered since birth, when has he suffered this sin!" Also, the master's family was affected, not to mention the confiscation of the family property, and the old man and his wife were also driven to the countryside to work as coolies. If even I can't support it, and the master's family has no hope, as long as I still have a breath of air, I won't forget to take care of the old man and wife, and I will definitely wait until the little master comes back. ”

"You are too affectionate, how can you say such things on the scene?" Cooper shook his head and looked around, "Aren't you afraid of being heard by people with ulterior motives, and then go and sue you, your master is guilty, fornicating with the enemy country is the crime of the whole family, the court didn't want their lives, just confiscated the family property and exiled to the frontier, which is already extraordinarily generous, what else can you expect?" Now that you can still keep it, you should be glad, it is rare that you have the heart to take care of your old lady, and you can still have hope for this industry, as for your bold little master, don't mention it! ”

Sang Luola took a deep breath and nodded helplessly: "My little master is quite shrewd, but unfortunately he was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and ended up like this." But I watched him grow up, and I still hope that he can live well and see him again one day. I don't dare to say that I have multiple feelings, I read the old love just because the lord and Mrs. have never treated us badly, although we do a humble livelihood, but the food and clothing on weekdays are very good, for me, a person who has lost his parents since childhood, is very content. Master Cooper, I'm just going to tell you this today, and I'll never mention it again! ”

"That's right, it's good to hide some things in your heart, why always talk about it, like I listen to it, forget it, if it is really heard by those who have bad intentions, I am afraid that I will have to tell right and wrong. You also know that the court is in trouble now, and I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, if we really get rid of you ruthlessly, even if we can say a few words in front of the ministers, we will not be able to save you this time! ”

"Yes, yes, I have written it all down, I remember Master Kuber's kindness, and I don't dare to say a word more in the future." Sang Luola hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, put on a smile, and poured him full of wine, "Don't disturb you to enjoy the dance, tonight the peony fairy will dance three dances, you watch slowly." ”

Cooper glanced at the peony fairy dancing on the stage, holding a wine glass in one hand and rubbing his chin in the other, and said with an evil smile: "Sang Luola, since we are not outsiders, I will say it directly if I have something to say, you have not come for a long time, you are charming, this peony fairy is very eye-catching, let her come to accompany me at night, how much, you make a price!" ”

Sang Luola was stunned, and shook her head busily: "Master Kuber, it's not that I don't know how to lift, we can't afford to offend you!" It's easy to say this if you change it, but this peony fairy she only sells her art and doesn't sell herself, she came to us before she said yes, not to mention that she just came to perform tonight, and Ming'er will go elsewhere, she is not a charming girl at all, I, I can't be the master! ”

Cooper raised an eyebrow and said, "Nonsense! You can't be the Lord, who can be the Lord! It's just a dancer who rushes to the scene, and there is a reason to give her money and not accompany the guests? Don't be in a hurry to refuse, go back and ask her, see how much she wants to accompany me, I'll wait here for you to reply, go! ”

"This, this ......," Sanlora stomped her foot in a hurry, "Master Cooper, I called our number one here to accompany you, as if I invited you, is that okay?" ”

"Hmph, do you think I'm scarce for this overnight money? I slept on your top card three years ago, or did I open it for her, bud, did you forget? Okay, don't grind, I want this peony fairy tonight, you just go and find her, I will still pay attention to your charming things in the future, otherwise, I will save this trouble! ”

"Alas, okay, I'll try it, but I'm really not sure what the peony fairy wants, don't blame me, Master Kuber!"

"No, no, just say it, I don't believe it, how capable can a little dancer be, and still be tempted to give her money that she can't earn in her life?" Cooper laughed confidently, staring at the peony fairy on the stage, eager to swallow her directly into his stomach.

Sang Luola walked into the backstage with a sad face, waiting to ask the meaning of the peony fairy, it is nothing if she doesn't make money tonight, she is afraid of offending these big businessmen who have a good relationship with the imperial court, and if she causes any trouble, she will not be able to eat and walk around.

The drinkers at the next table couldn't help but discuss when they heard this conversation.

"It seems that Cooper and the bustard have a good relationship, and even this dancer who doesn't sell her body agrees to help him get it. They said that the charming master was not the Wei family who was robbed? ”

Hearing this, Liu Ye stiffened, the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and Qing Ling patted her leg under the table, signaling her not to show abnormality. Liu Ye nodded, moved his body back, and listened carefully to what they were saying.

"It's the Wei family, and the little master of the Wei family, Wei Lu, hey, Wei Lu is really shrewd, not to mention helping their family become the biggest horse dealer in the Western Regions, but also started the idea of opening a green building. But don't say it, he's a big man, and he has a lot of ability to open a green building, so that the girls are obedient. ”

"Yo, according to what you say, this old bustard was also very obedient to him? Haha......"

"you, the bustard can be his mother at his age, I heard that the bustard used to be a girl in this family, and later Wei Lu bought this green building, so he let her be the bustard, and he still took good care of her. It seems that the old man of the Wei family ordered it, it should be that the old man of the Wei family used to be her frequent visitor. ”

"Oh, I see, that kid Wei Lu has also opened a lot of green houses in other places, and it's crazy to make money, it's easier than being a horse dealer to make money."

"It's not, but it also planted the root of the curse, as the saying goes, the tree is too ostentatious, and no one is arrogant in his eyes, which will lead to this disaster."

"That's it, this kid was impatient, and he actually colluded with Wusun's Ubuji to sell horses to the big Han, and as a result, the East Window incident caused the court to be angry, and ordered to raid his house and expel him."

"So, you have to earn the money you should make, but don't be tempted if you shouldn't."

"Come, come, let's drink, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, it doesn't matter if he is wind or rain tomorrow......"

Liu Ye drank one after another, and Qing Ling knew that she remembered Wei Lu who saved her life again, and hurriedly comforted: "It's all in the past, don't think about it." ”

"Speaking of which, I hurt him, although he is greedy and pretentious, but if I hadn't set a trap for him to jump, their family would not have fallen into this step."

"How can you say that, we didn't have a better way at that time, and he was rampant like that, even if there was no such thing, something would happen sooner or later. He also went through those things before he gradually became a good person, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you! ”

"Sometimes, I don't know if what I do is right or wrong, I said that good people and bad people are not absolute, and right and wrong are not absolute." Liu Ye smiled bitterly, "I thought what I did was right, but now it doesn't seem to be true, I don't leave a way out for myself, I haven't left a way out for others, I don't care about life and death, but others do!" ”

"You've drunk too much, but I actually felt familiar when I first came here, and you can see that the layout here is exactly the same as that of Akatani Castle. I should have thought that this store was also opened by him, and he shouldn't have stayed. Qing Ling blamed himself.

"Perhaps, this is the guidance in the dark, what does he want to tell me?" Liu Ye looked at the peony fairy on the stage again, "Qingling, don't you think this fairy looks a little familiar?" ”

Qing Ling looked at it and wondered, "Is it familiar?" Except for you, I haven't seen anyone dance so well, could it be that she is from Dahan, and you have seen her before? ”

"No, she's not Han." Liu Ye can be sure, "She is from the Western Regions, a person from the Western Regions I know." ”

At this time, there was a thunderclap knocking on the door outside the courtyard, and Sang Luola ordered someone to open the door, and more than a dozen Hun soldiers rushed straight in. Shizhong hurriedly gave Liu Ye and the others a look, and everyone drank wine calmly, not taking the fierce Hun soldiers in their eyes.

The peony fairy was still dancing, not frightened by this formation at all, Sang Luola greeted him with a smile on his face, and stuffed a bag of money to the Hun soldiers led by him: "Official, you still come to inspect so late, we don't have any movement here, we are all frequent visitors who come here, no problem." ”

The Hun soldiers didn't look at the money bag, pushed Sangla away, carefully inspected the drinkers present, and asked, "Don't come to this set!" Is there anyone else else? Take me to see it! ”

"No, the guests who came tonight are all here, sir, the little one doesn't dare to deceive." Sanlora replied in a low voice.

"Didn't you say no, no? You jokers, I can stop you by giving you a few dollars. The Hun soldiers led by him waved his hand and motioned his subordinates to go upstairs to find out, "Search for me, every corner must be searched." ”

The Hun soldiers glanced at the peony fairy on the platform, pointed at her and shouted, "Don't jump!" ”

The music stopped abruptly, the peony fairy turned a deaf ear, continued to wave her sleeves, and the Hun soldiers rushed to the stage angrily and grabbed her arm: "I told you not to jump, you are deaf!" ”

Between pulling, Liu Ye couldn't help but tremble when he saw the face under the peony fairy veil. I saw the peony fairy glancing at the Hun soldiers lightly, without struggling, and standing quietly aside. The Hun soldiers saw that she was a little distracted, and forgot to let go for a while, and went upstairs to search all corners of the subordinates who came back to restore their lives.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all searched upstairs, no one is right, I won't lie to you." Sang Luola ran to the front of the stage and looked up at the Hun soldier, "I've checked it all, but there's no one upstairs." ”

The Hun soldier embarrassedly let go of the peony fairy's hand, pointed to the wine guests on the wine table, and ordered: "Go, interrogate where they all came from, what happened to the Huns, what they brought with them, and whether there is a letter to and from the Huns." ”

Liu Ye and the others' hearts gradually sank, and if they continued to be interrogated like this, they would reveal their stuff sooner or later. The guests at the banquet began to get impatient, patted the table and complained: "How can this be reasonable, we are here to have fun, not to listen to the barking of the dogs in your court. ”

A few drinkers got up and were about to leave, and the Hun soldiers shouted: "No one is allowed to leave, and whoever dares to take a step will be brought back to the barracks immediately to ask for guilt." ”

A few drinkers had no choice but to turn around and ask angrily: "Presumptuous, you wastes can't win a war, and you dare to treat your food and clothing parents like this." If we hadn't taken the money to support you, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to drink the northwest wind. ”

The other drinkers also chimed in: "It's too unusual, you dare to show off your might in front of us after defeating the battle, you don't think about it in front of the wall, and you actually came to disturb our Yaxing." ”

"I'm afraid the imperial court is not uncommon for us to hand over the boxes of money every month, and even such small soldiers dare to ride on our heads to play prestige. That's it, let's not just care about currying favor with the court in the future, what's the use, even the ordinary people on the street are not as good. ”

Hearing the complaints of these dignitaries, the Hun soldiers did not dare to be rampant, and said truthfully: "Today, a felony escaped from the barracks cell, and we are only acting on orders, and we ask for your accommodating." ”

"Accommodating fart!" Cooper suddenly took the case, glared at the Hun soldiers led by him and scolded, "Since you are a repeat offender, why did you escape from the barracks cell?" It's clear that you don't take good care of it, and now you're asking us for accommodation! Look, look, the money we handed over is this kind of waste, and we can't even catch a fugitive, and we come here to be embarrassed! I ask you, what fugitive can come to such a place and sit and drink with us? Do you know that a table of wine is worth a month's income for a common man, and what fugitive escapes from his cell with so much money? Are you going to put him in jail and get him paid? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was continuous laughter during the banquet, and the Hun soldiers were all red-faced, and they all hesitated and did not dare to come forward for interrogation.

Cooper pointed to the Hun soldier who grabbed the wrist of the peony fairy just now and scolded: "You stared at other people's fairies, your eyes won't roll, I think you are deliberately taking advantage of others on the grounds of capturing fugitives." Let's take out so much money in order to see the fairy, you touched someone's hand without pulling out a dime, there is still such a good errand in the world, you can really do things for the court! Jobbery! ”

The weak-hearted Hun soldiers hurriedly jumped off the stage and ran out of the door with their men, explaining as they ran: "The adults have misunderstood, misunderstood, don't bother." ”

Everyone watched the Huns run away, laughed happily, Cooper looked at the peony fairy with a smile, and said: "The fairy is frightened, why don't you let me comfort you, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, let's go upstairs ......"

Cooper took advantage of the chaos to reassure the peony fairy, and the others were very dissatisfied, and they were about to protest when they saw the peony fairy lightly open her lips and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but the little girl already has a sweetheart, so she doesn't think about it." ”

"Oh?" Cooper looked at the others in surprise, "Who does the fairy want?" No one here is more generous than me, and knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade! ”

The peony fairy smiled, and walked straight to Liu Ye with a light lotus step: "I wonder if adults can accept the love of a little girl?" ”
