"Do you want someone to get you out?"

In the dark and damp dungeon, a young woman in her twenties was pacing back and forth, only to see her wearing an apricot-colored floral dress, with a beautiful face, but the expression on her face was unpredictable.

"You'd better pray that your high father will send someone to save you, or I won't have that much patience to spend with you."

The woman said it with a smile, but her tone was a little creepy, and she walked up to the boy who was tied to the stone pillar and glared at her angrily.

"What? Do you want to scold me or hit me? Tsk, it's a pity that nothing can be done now. ”

She suddenly burst into a very bright smile, but her hand rose and fell, and a whip sounded in her ears, and the boy couldn't help but exhale in pain.

"Hahaha, shout, shout a little louder, not loud enough!"

As he spoke, he whipped down a few more lashes, but the boy didn't cry anymore, but bit his lower lip and let the wounds on his body become more than one.

"Yo, I can't see that I'm pretty stubborn, to tell you, I hate you beasts who claim to be decent the most, rather than let you grow up to be that kind of beast, why don't you finish you off now, since the whip doesn't work, why don't you try this?"

She picked up the red-hot soldering iron from the stove next to her, and the boy's eyes were full of horror, but because he was tied, he could only watch the soldering iron print down on him.

I opened my eyes suddenly, but I found that I was not in the dungeon, and I raised my hand to wipe it only to find that my forehead was full of cold sweat.

"Brother Jiu, you're awake!"

Su Lubai, who had just walked to the door of the room, saw that Huo Jiulin had finally woken up, and ran over with some excitement, Huo Jiulin was lying on his stomach, and as soon as he wanted to get up, he felt a heart-piercing pain in his left shoulder.

"Brother Jiu, don't move, the injury on your shoulder is not healed yet."

Huo Jiulin remembered that his left shoulder had been pierced before.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been a day and a night."

"What about A-Qing? Was he injured? ”

Su Lubai lowered his head and stopped talking, Huo Jiulin looked a little suspicious when he saw him, and felt that something seemed to be wrong, "Little Egret, where is Aqing?" ”

"Brother Jiu, Third Brother Shen, he hasn't come back."

"What do you mean you haven't come back?"

"There's been no news, the six of you, you're back alone."

Huo Jiulin couldn't care about the injury on his back, turned over and got out of bed, Su Lubai stepped forward to help him with some worry: "Brother Jiu, what are you going to do?" ”

"Get out of the way, why didn't you wake me up sooner?"

"Didn't you fall asleep, the doctor said that you lost too much blood and fell into a coma, Brother Jiu, you look down at how many wounds you have on your body, the doctor said that you have to be in a coma for at least three or four days, fortunately you woke up early."

"Those people are not very difficult to deal with, but there are too many people, I am injured like this, Ah Qing may not be able to get out of the whole body, I... No, he'll be fine, I'll have to find him right away! ”

"But Brother Jiu, how can you find someone like this?"

"You can't just do it and wait for nothing, right?! What about my coat? ”

"What kind of clothes are you wearing inside, the suit you are wearing was sent by the inn, and they also sent your carriage by the way."

"Where is this?"

"City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Yang has found it, and he is seriously injured, the people from Shenjiabao haven't come yet, everyone on the city wall is taking turns to guard it, in case those people come back."

"Bring me some clothes."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Su Lubai couldn't persuade him even if he knew it, in fact, he himself had already wanted to go out to find someone, but those people refused to open the city gate.

After changing his clothes, Huo Jiulin took Su Lubai out to find someone, and several villagers also took the initiative to follow him to look around, but after searching for an afternoon, they didn't find any clues at all.

"Little Egret, are you sure that Ah Qing and Helian were going in this direction at that time?"

"Well, I could see clearly on the walls at that time, they were in the opposite direction from you, but I don't know where they retreated."

"That is to say, A-Qing should be with Helian now, if they are together, they can still have a care, I'm afraid they will also be injured and separated."

"Maybe it's not hurt."

"If they are good, how can they not come back for so long, something must have happened."

"But I've searched all over the neighborhood, but there is no one at all, could it be that he was chased far away, and he won't be able to come back for a while?"

Huo Jiulin was also anxious, but now there was no way at all, in the previous plan, they had said that if they couldn't come back, they would go to the next town, and they didn't know if Ah Qing and they went over directly because of something.

"In this way, let's go to the agreed meeting place first, Chen Hu is so seriously injured, it is estimated that he will not come back for a while and a half, Min Zhengcheng should be safe, and the people from Shenjiabao will also arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Then what if Third Brother Shen and they come back tomorrow?"

"If they come back, let the villagers tell them that we went to the next city, and the direction they are going is the direction of the next city, so we can look all the way there."

"Okay."

Huo Jiulin and Su Lubai returned to Min Zheng City, and after a few simple explanations from the city lord and the villagers, they packed their luggage and headed towards Lanrong City.

I looked all the way along the direction of the river, but there was no news, and I arrived at Lanrong City at noon on the fourth day, Huo Jiulin only heard Shen Yiqing say that there was a firm in Shenjiabao here, but he didn't ask which one it was, and he usually hid his identity, so he couldn't ask.

"Brother Jiu, this place doesn't look smaller than Min Zhengcheng, how can we find it?"

"Even if you turn this over, you have to find him."

"Why don't you find an inn to stay in first?"

The subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion reminded, Huo Jiulin nodded, and then handed him a silver ticket: "Little brother, thank you for taking care of me all the way, you can take this point, you can find an inn by yourself and rest for one night and go back." ”

"I can't take that."

"Take it."

"Yes, you can accept it, we promise that we will not tell City Lord Yang, and besides, we may not be able to see City Lord Yang in the future."

The subordinate smiled a little embarrassedly, and then accepted the silver ticket, Huo Jiulin led the carriage and found a nearby inn to stay, but he couldn't be idle for a moment.

"Brother Jiu, your face is ugly, why don't you rest for a while and then go out to look for it?"

"You can't rest at ease, it's better to go out and investigate the situation, if Aqing and they arrive, maybe they will leave some marks."

Su Lubai was helpless, worried about the situation of Shen Yiqing and Helian Wuye on the one hand, and Huo Jiulin's body on the other, and he didn't know whether to find Shen Sange and them first, or if his eldest brother collapsed first.

In the evening, two people who had no harvest sat on the roadside stall eating wontons, Su Lubai was originally a very picky person, but now he was so hungry that he could eat anything.

Huo Jiulin held the spoon thoughtlessly, his eyes kept wandering among the pedestrians on the street, hoping to see the figure of his heart and mind in the next moment.

"Brother Jiu, your body is still weak, and you haven't eaten much in the past few days, if you don't eat again, Third Brother Shen won't find it by then, and you won't be able to do it yourself."

"I should have asked which Shenjiabao's business name was, and now I won't be like a headless fly, it's all my fault."

"Shen Sange Ji people have their own natural appearance, I believe it will be fine, you also said that they may be two people together, so it won't be that both of them are injured and can't move, their martial arts are very good."

Although Su Lubai's heart was also full of worries, he could only say some words of comfort, and at this time, the pedestrians around him seemed to become hurried, and they looked at those people with some doubts.

"Where are they in a hurry?"

"You're from out of town, aren't you?"

The owner of the wonton stall asked with a smile, Su Lubai nodded, and then pointed to those people who were in a hurry and asked the boss: "Uncle, what are they doing in a hurry?" ”

"Do you see that corner in front of you? Turning around, it was Si Yanxiang, and they were all in a hurry to go there. ”

"Si Yanxiang? What is that place? ”

"Our largest green building."

"Huh? They are in a hurry to go to the Qinglou, and the folk customs here are really open enough. ”

This went to the Qinglou in such a group of people, and everyone seemed to have made an appointment, and even looked a little scrambling.

"The two of you don't know, tonight there is a new Oiran auction on the first night, and most of the people are going to join in the fun, wanting to see how beautiful this new Oiran is."

"How many Oiran?"

"The oiran in front was bought by our richest man, so Si Yanxiang's boss found another one, but eighty percent must be in the bag of the richest man tonight."

Su Lubai looked at Huo Jiulin a little speechlessly, but Huo Jiulin stood up as if he had suddenly come to life, put some broken silver on the table, and then left with Su Lubai.

"Hey, hey, Brother Jiu, where are we going?"

"Si Yanxiang."

"Huh? Brother Jiu, when are you still interested in going to the Qinglou to have fun? Even if that Oiran is really beautiful, shouldn't our priority now be to find Shen Sange and Helian? ”

"The most information-driven place in a town is definitely Qinglou, so instead of bumping into it here, we might as well go there and ask, especially since there are so many people gathered there tonight."

Su Lubai felt that it seemed to make sense when he heard it, and he didn't ask any more, and the two turned the corner and saw a golden building in front of them, with the three big characters 'Siyanxiang' written on the plaque hanging on it.

"Hello two guest officers."

The two guard-looking people stopped them, Huo Jiulin was a little puzzled, and only heard the person on the left say: "This guest officer doesn't know the rules of our Si Yanxiang?" ”

"What rules?"

"Every time you bid on the night, you will pay a hundred taels of entrance fees when you enter the building."

Su Lubai's eyes widened, obediently, what kind of green building is this, you have to pay a hundred taels of silver before you go in? It's a money grab!

Huo Jiulin didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, so he directly handed over a hundred taels, and then the person found someone to lead them in, and it was crowded with people, Su Lubai felt a little noisy, and couldn't help asking: "This little brother, where is the so-called Oiran?" ”

"Well, don't you just sit on the high platform in the middle!"

Huo Jiulin, who was beside him, also looked in the direction of his finger, just a little curious, but when his eyes touched the person sitting on the high platform, he was completely stunned......
