Chapter Ninety-Seven: An Invitation
Shenzhou, Fenghua County.
After the unitary hour, the soft incense pavilion ushers in the most lively time of the day. The darkening of the night contrasts with the array of lanterns hanging around the area, and people who have worked all day will unconsciously head to this place of pleasure like moths looking for the light of the fire.
"My lord, are you comfortable doing this?"
"Ah, yes, yes, you can push a little harder. ”
"Then the slave family will work harder. ”
"Come on. Ahh
Warblers like this are all too common in the Qinglou, but the scene in the room is not so commensurate with the occasional whisper.
I saw a woman sitting at the head of the bed in full clothes, rubbing the shoulders of the middle-aged man, because of the long-term force, she was already breathing like an orchid, and she was drenched in sweat.
"How is it, huh, has the slave's technology improved?"
"Hmm...... The strength of the shoulders is still a little weaker, so you can consider tightening your thumb and pressing with your knuckles. The man squinted and pointed.
This person is Zhao Dahai.
To be honest, he didn't expect his proposal to be so successful. What piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what can sing and dance, is not worth mentioning in front of kneading and hammering. The former may attract true sophisticated people, but this is not Gyeonggi Sanwon, it is just a small county town, and relaxation and fatigue are the services that most customers need.
In just over two months, the scale of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion has expanded several times, and even lanterns with the name of the store written on it have been hung all over the street.
The service in the store has also divided a part of the "vegetarian meal", simply only massage and kneading, and after lowering the price to 30%, the business is also booming, and the response is like a tide.
If there was a peak in life, he felt that he had already reached the top.
The Red Sakura Pavilion, which competed with the Soft Fragrance Pavilion, saw that it was unable to support it, and it was already predictable that it would close its doors, and without an opponent, would the owner still treat him like this?
Zhao Dahai has seen too many examples of unloading and killing donkeys.
He didn't want to test his humanity, it was more terrible than gambling, so leaving early was the best option - as long as he got out of the way before he fell, he wouldn't see the fall.
What's more, this time in Fenghua County has been long enough.
If the days are too easy, it will be difficult to move again.
Let's leave in two days, he thought to himself.
At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, "Official, the person you are looking for is here." ”
Official?
At this time, how could there be officials coming to him?
Zhao Dahai subconsciously looked at the window by the bed - he doesn't seem to have done anything to cheat for a long time, right?
"Master, are you in there?"
However, the voice that came made him frown, who was that not his apprentice?
"Ah, could it be that your senior apprentice is here?" The eyes of the apricot who pinched him lit up, and now who doesn't know that Zhao Dahai's disciple soared into the sky, not only climbed to the princess, but also directly promoted to the position of Jinxia Privy Council. That's a five-grade official, and the magistrate in the yamen has retreated and saluted when he sees it!
It's just that Zhao Dahai is uninhibited and from a humble background, and everyone doesn't think that such a thin master-apprentice relationship can continue, so they usually joke about it. But this "master" undoubtedly proves the other party's attitude.
However, Zhao Dahai's reaction surprised Apricot greatly.
He made a silent gesture, put on his coat and tried to slip towards the window.
But the comers reacted faster.
Seeing that there was no response, the other party directly knocked open the door.
Zhao Dahai suddenly froze at the window.
"I don't know about others, but Master, your thoughts are still very easy to ponder. Xia Fan clasped his hands to his chest and said, "After so many days of parting, the disciple came to visit, the first thing you thought about was troublesome?"
"Ahem, rebel, do you talk to the master like this!" Zhao Dahai coughed twice and returned to the bedside, "The master just thinks that the room is too stuffy and wants to open the window to dissipate air." ”
This is the rumored new engagement, so young! Apricot stared at each other, and her appearance was not bad, her ability and talent were even more outstanding, such an excellent disciple, why did Lord Zhao still avoid it? If it was her, I am afraid that she would be by this person's side every day.
"Apricot, you go out first. Zhao Dahai pointed out the door.
"Yes, the slave family has retired. Although she was a little reluctant, she knew that this was not the place to make up her own mind, and after curtsimming, she slowly exited the room.
When passing by Xia Fan's side, Apricot wanted to rub shoulders with him, but was squeezed out of her seat by another hat-taker.
"Talk, I'm at the door. The man said.
The door closed, and Xia Fan sat down opposite Zhao Dahai, "I know now, why did you stay away as soon as you saw Fang Shi when you were wandering, and you didn't get close to the evil events handled by the Privy Council no matter what." The disciple is a little curious, have you ever been a monk before?"
"Is one or two months counted?" Zhao Dahai said unhappily, "Do you think those magic techniques are all figured out for the master himself." ”
"Then you resigned. ”
"It's not a resignation, it's just that he was drunk in the line of duty and was expelled from the Privy Council. ”
Xia Fan didn't ask the reason for the drunkenness, he knew that things wouldn't be as simple as the other party said, "At that time, you thought they had a problem?"
"Being a teacher just can't stand their rules and their attitude of using evil as a way to make a profit. Zhao Dahai sneered, "What, you are now a five-grade tester, and you are interrogating as a teacher in turn?"
"How dare the disciple. Xia Fan pouted, "It's just that you never told me about these things, and you didn't let me touch those things." ”
"If you know, would you still want to enter the Privy Council?" said the other unceremoniously, "Besides, what you have experienced is more convincing than what you have heard." ”
"Thank you Master for taking care of me all these years. Xia Fan bowed his hand.
"Don't come to these meaty words," Zhao Dahai showed a look of disgust, "Since you are already engaged in the order department, let's work hard, and don't come to find a teacher." Suffice it to say that it's never a bad thing to help someone once in a while......"
"Master is right, the disciple is here for this matter!" he said in a condensed voice, "After Yuan was transferred, the hall of the Lingbu was empty. If you want to deal with the evil spirit, you must build a new team. However, the new Fang Shi lacks actual combat experience, and I hope that Master can take the position of leader to help me!"
"Don't even think about it!" Zhao Dahai said without hesitation, "I knew that if you hadn't been in trouble, you wouldn't have come to the door so quickly." ”
"Can't help me?"
"Do you want to help you rise through the ranks in the Privy Council? Why do you think I'm staying away from the guy in the black robe? yes, that's what you kid looks like now. Zhao Dahai glared and said, "I have also heard about the matter of Gaoshan County, didn't it teach you any lessons?"
"The facts do not match the rumors. Xia Fan's tone slowed down, "The matter of Gaoshan County has little to do with Princess Guangping, it was exposed by me." Moreover, the source of the evil has nothing to do with Zhixian, and the entire Jinxia City is inseparable from it. ”
"You say...... What?" Zhao Dahai was stunned.
"The current Jinxia Privy Council is the enemy. He said word for word.
