CHAPTER XVI
On a dark and windy night, a woman dressed in black walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Got into a carriage and went straight to the west of the city under the big banyan tree, the trunk of this banyan tree is eight people holding hands and enclosing so thick, it has a history of 800 years. After getting out of the carriage, the groom quickly disappeared into the night in the carriage. The woman dressed in black looked left and right, went around to the back of the big banyan tree, and knocked on the door hidden behind the big banyan tree.
"dododo" The woman in black knocked on the door three times, and three cat meows came from the door. The woman in black knocked on the door twice, and two cat meows came from inside the door. The woman in black knocked on the door again, and the dark door finally opened.
The person who opened the door was an old woman, and the old woman looked at the woman in black and asked in a deep voice, "Who is here?" The woman in black replied, "Modern man."
"Squeak~" The door creaked open, and the woman in black followed the old woman in. The door behind the big banyan tree is small, but the hole inside is very large, it is a courtyard, the yard is full of twists and turns, like a labyrinth, and there are many roses planted next to it.
In the middle of the labyrinth was a castle, and the old woman came to the door of the castle and chattered at the door, and the door opened. Walking up the stairs to the second floor, I saw a man in a dark shawl with his back to them.
"Master, this man calls himself a modern." The old woman bowed her head respectfully to the man in the dark clothes. "Why did Your Excellency come to our Xuanling Pavilion?" The man in the dark robe turned around, but he could only see a silver-white mask, but he could not see his face.
The woman in black lifted her hat and showed her face, this woman in black was none other than Aunt Liu.
"I want to pay a lot of money to let the pavilion master kill someone for me." Aunt Liu's eyes were full of unwillingness.
"I wonder who Your Excellency wants us to hunt down and kill in the Xuanling Pavilion?"
"The eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Yuwei. As long as Xuanling Pavilion can help me kill her, you can open it for ten thousand taels of gold. ”
"Your Excellency, we won't take this business." The man in the dark robe listened and hesitated for a moment.
"Doesn't it mean that as long as you spend a lot of money in Xuanling Pavilion, there are no people you can't kill?" Although Aunt Liu was closed, she was reluctant to leave.
"That's right, but whether to accept or not, your business, the initiative is on our side of Xuanling Pavilion. Your Excellency, please! ”
"What if I had this? The Pavilion Master of the Xuanling Pavilion can't fail to recognize this thing, right? I saw Aunt Liu take out an ebony plaque from her arms, which was engraved with a Xuan character.
"Okay, since you have this token in your hand, then our Xuanling Pavilion will help you fulfill your wish no matter what. Go back and wait for the good news. White Tiger, send-off! After the man in Xuanyi finished speaking, he turned around and ignored Aunt Liu.
After seeing that the goal was achieved, Aunt Liu left satisfied.
I saw the old woman kneeling on the ground, bowing her head and pleading guilty to the man in Xuanyi: "Please punish the pavilion master!" It's all the fault of the lowly position, I shouldn't have brought that woman in and embarrassed the pavilion master. ”
"White Tiger, get up. It's not your fault, she's prepared, and we can't hide for a while. I saw that she had a deep resentment and would not give up easily. The man in the dark robe sighed.
"Pavilion Master, why didn't you agree to that woman at first, but only when you saw that ebony sign?" The white tiger tore off the skin, and under the wrinkled old man's face turned out to be a young and beautiful woman, with fake hair and a hunchback.
"The person she's going to kill reminds me of an old friend of mine, so I don't want to take it. And the wooden card she took out was the death-free gold medal of Xuanling Pavilion. No matter who it is, as long as there is this gold medal, the Xuanling Pavilion must help the person holding the wooden card to accomplish one thing. This is a rule passed down from my ancestors, so I can only take this job. All she wants to kill is an unarmed woman, let Qinglong carry out this mission. ”
"No!"
After the white tiger left, the man in Xuanyi stood on the windowsill for a long time. I've been here for so long that I can't tell who I am. Is it the gentle self or the murderous maniac with blood on his hands?
As soon as Aunt Liu returned to the house, she couldn't wait to run to the Liuli Pavilion, Zhang Yunli was living in the Liuli Pavilion, and the Liuli Pavilion was also specially changed for Zhang Yunli's name.
"Mother, you're back, what does the pavilion master say?" Zhang Yunli greeted Aunt Liu into the inner room and closed the door sneakily.
"My precious girl, rest easy. The Pavilion Master has agreed, and you will soon be able to retrieve what belongs to you. ”
Aunt Liu touched her daughter's hair, her eyes were full of pampering, and Zhang Yunli hugged Aunt Liu excitedly.
At this time, Yuwei of the Lotus Pavilion was still in the dark, and was sitting in the main hall listening to Youlan's account book of the 'Closed Moon Shy Flower'. Yuwei took part of the cloth rewarded by the emperor and distributed it to the people in the courtyard, and some of the best materials were sent to the jewelry restaurant to Boss Wang along with Yuwei's new design draft. The emperor rewarded her with 10,000 taels of gold, Yuwei asked Dongxue to send 500 taels to Cai Po, and she still remembered that Cai Po gave her the best things in the house to eat when she just fished her up from the river, and she couldn't forget the grace of saving her life. The remaining silver and two Yuwei were stored in the money village for later use.
"Miss, this is the month's accounts."
"Well done blue! I'll have time to take a look at the store tomorrow. You go back today, it's not safe for a girl to be late at night, let the wind give you a ride. ”
As soon as you hear the name of the wind, your face turns red. And the wind is as expressionless as a piece of wood, Yuwei has already seen that Youlan is interested in the wind, but the wind is an emotional fool, and he doesn't notice Yulan's mind at all.
It was already late at night when Youlan and Blifeng left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was a little cool, so Qiuyue took out a fur fur and draped it over Yuwei.
"Miss, it's late at night, let's rest early."
"Uh-huh, okay." Yuwei lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
In the dream, Yuwei dreamed of the scene before the crossing, and Uncle He had been driving the car to avoid the pursuit. But in the end, the car was forced to crash into the bridge pier and rushed into the sea.
"Nope! No! Yuwei woke up from her dream, and has been dreaming of modern scenes lately. I've had the same dream three nights in a row.
Qiu Yue rushed in and asked worriedly, "Miss! Miss! The slave is here, and she has nightmares again? ”
"Qiuyue, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." Yuwei's back was soaked with sweat. I had to bathe again once and then go back to sleep.
After the hot bath, after such a toss, Yuwei was also tired, and just went to bed and slept until dawn the next day.
The next day, Yu Wei got into the carriage and went straight to the 'Closed Moon Shy Flower', and today I originally wanted to go to the store to do a market research to see the feedback of customers and collect some opinions and suggestions.
As soon as she got out of the house, there were a lot of mobile vendors at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in recent days, and Yuwei only thought about the New Year's Eve and didn't care.
The groom also changed to a groom with a different face, and today Yuwei asked Dongxue to run errands, so she just took a groom and left the house. Half an hour later, before the 'closing moon shy flower', Yuwei felt that she had been sitting for a long time, so she asked, "Mafu, haven't you arrived yet?" ”
The groom replied, "Miss, it's almost here, you have to be patient." ”
After a while, Yuwei felt strange, lifted the carriage and looked outside, where is this the road to the 'Closed Moon Shame Flower', this is clearly the way to the outside of the city. There was no one in the barren mountains and mountains, and Yuwei knew in her heart that the situation was not good.
"I'm getting off!" Yuwei yelled angrily.
The groom drew a long sword from under the carriage, threw away his hat, and used his internal force to break through the carriage's uniform, which was dressed in black. The man in black said loudly: "Someone spends a lot of money to buy your head, and I also use people's money to eliminate disasters for others." "The man in black is the green dragon of Xuanling Pavilion, but he has changed his appearance with the disguise technique.
"Who wants to kill me? I can let you go for three times the price! ”
"I'm sorry, I'm only responsible for taking orders, and nothing else. Suffer death! I saw Qinglong's long sword hit Yu Wei's heart, and she wanted to kill her life with one move.
Yu Wei nimbly dodged the deadly sword, and the man in black did not expect her to dodge his attack, and became more cautious. The sword's moves are endlessly varied, and its speed has increased. Yu Wei also pulled out a long sword from the car and fought with Qinglong.
Fortunately, before going out, Dongxue prepared a long sword for her, and she and Qinglong could barely have a draw. But after all, Yuwei was wearing a long skirt, and it was inconvenient to move, so she was also inferior when she really started, with many scars on her body, and her snow-white gauze skirt was soaked with bright red blood.
Qinglong saw that Yu Wei was not a good master to deal with, and threw out an ecstasy ball, Yu Wei didn't expect Qinglong to have this trick, and he actually hit it. After smelling the ecstasy smoke, Yu Wei felt weak all over her body, and she was about to collapse.
And the man in black, Qinglong, was approaching her step by step, just when Qinglong wanted to solve Yuwei with a sword. Yu Wei dimly saw a purple-clothed shadow fly over, blocking the fatal sword with her long sword. The man in purple and the man with a black heart are evenly matched, and if you look closely, the man in purple is even better. He and him, at the same time, flashed the sword light in their wrists and flew into the wind where the other party was, only to hear the shattered cold light flash in front of them, and one of them turned his arm, and the sword actually spun between his fingers.
Once again, they all jumped up in unison, jumping between the dust, and the two of them were swordsmanlike.
After an hour of fighting, finally, the man in black slowed down his sword speed because he was tired, and the man in purple grabbed the gap, and the long sword wall pierced the chest of the man in black. The man in black endured the pain and used his iron sand palm at the man in purple, and the man in purple skillfully dodged it.
When I looked back, I found that the man in black had disappeared into the woods. But what is certain is that the man in black was seriously injured.
The purple-clothed man picked up Yu Wei, who was unconscious on the ground, and muttered to himself, "Why did you offend the people of Xuanling Pavilion?" Who are you? ”
The child in his arms seemed to feel the warmth of his chest, and actually took it into his arms again.
When she woke up again, Yuwei found herself in a strange place, and the room was burning with spices, and the smell was faint and very good. But the only downside is that it's dark everywhere, and there are no bright colors at all. "The owner of this house is a strange fellow!" As soon as Yu Wei finished speaking, the door was opened, and Yu Wei was so frightened that she hurriedly lay down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.
"Master, this girl has been sleeping for several days, and the doctor said that she can wake up in the next few days." Only a childish voice was heard.
"Now you have something to eat for her and put it on the table. She woke up in a moment. The other voice was low and deep, as if it had been heard somewhere, but it could not be remembered for a moment.
