Fifty-seventh
What Yan Ting didn't expect was that when he pushed open the laundry door, the ugly girl in front of him was not washing her clothes, but sitting on a stone bench, like a lotus flower in a pond.
This ugly girl seemed to know that Yan Ting was coming. looked at Yan Ting quietly, as if he was deliberately waiting for him.
Yan Ting walked into the house, closed the door and smiled: "Ugly girl is waiting for someone?" ”
"Ugly?"
Yan Ting was stunned: "Don't they all call you that?" ”
Dugu Xiaoying shook her head and denied: "Except for you, no one has ever called me that." ”
Yan Ting reacted and was put on the spot by the little maid, and was about to apologize, but Dugu Xiaoying asked first: "The guest officer is not looking for pleasure in the building, what are you doing in this messy laundry room?" ”
Yan Ting said: "I want to ask the girl about someone." ”
Dugu Xiaoying asked, "Why does the guest officer ask a lowly maid like me?" ”
Yan Ting said with a smile: "If the girl is really just a lowly maid, my eyes will be white, so it is better to dig and be blind." ”
"What am I if I'm not a maid?"
"That's what I'm curious about, too." Yan Ting took a closer look at Dugu Xiaoying in front of him, and said: "There are many young and handsome girls in the martial arts families in the rivers and lakes, but I can't guess who can be committed to being a maid in this Qinglou, and I can't think of a reason for doing this."
"How can the guest officer conclude that I am from a martial arts family?"
"Because I can't detect the girl's breath, even if we are so close, as long as I close my eyes, I can't feel the girl's presence at all, this kind of internal breathing kung fu is definitely not something that ordinary children's children can practice."
Dugu Xiaoying sighed and said, "I didn't deliberately hide my breath. ”
"You can't disguise it, so can the girl be honest with me?"
"How do you want me to be honest with you?"
"A friend of mine came here the other day, and I think the girl must have met her."
"There are a lot of guests in Baihualou every day, you should ask your friends to ask the bustard Zhang's mother."
"This friend of mine is very special, a woman who loves to drink." Yan Ting stared at Dugu Xiaoying's face tightly as he spoke, and when the word woman was mentioned, Dugu Xiaoying's eyes trembled slightly, and Yan Ting suddenly felt playful and continued: "Her name is Chengjiujiu, and she often rides a little donkey, and she has a long red whip around her waist. ”
Dugu Xiaoying nodded: "I met such a person a few days ago. ”
"What was she like when you saw her?"
"She drank a lot and was so drunk that she was unconscious."
"Drunk?" Yan Ting was very surprised: "I have seen her drink two jars of burnt knives and still her face does not change, and she will actually get drunk...... And after that? ”
"She only slept here for one night and left the next day." Dugu Xiaoying replied.
Did she say anything before leaving? Did you say where you were going? Yan Ting asked.
"Nope."
Yan Ting frowned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Thank you girl, then I'll go." ”
Seeing that Yan Ting was leaving, Dugu Xiaoying didn't stop her, but said when Yan Ting stepped out of the room: "Whether you are really her friend or her enemy." You don't even need to go to her again this year. ”
Yan Ting looked back at Dugu Xiaoying, he didn't understand what this sentence meant, Dugu Xiaoying said: "She promised me before she left that she would never kill anyone this year." ”
"How could she promise you this?"
"You don't need to know why."
"If she really agrees to you, then she will probably die because of your agreement." Yan Ting stared at Dugu Xiaoying's face, he really wanted to see the true face of this woman through the disguise on the woman's face: "She is facing a very terrible person this time, she must go all out." ”
Dugu Xiaoying didn't speak, but her eyes were already covered with a layer of gray, and after a while, she smiled indifferently and said to Yan Ting: "I really want to know who you are and what kind of things you are doing. ”
Yan Ting turned around and opened the door, leaving a sentence that Dugu Xiaoying couldn't fathom:
"A beast is still a beast after all, but if a man puts on the skin of a beast, he is no longer a man."
Yan Ting left the backyard and returned to the room where he woke up, Dongfang Shenwei was waiting for him in the house, and when he saw Yan Ting coming back, he asked, "Have you heard anything?" ”
Yan Ting replied, "That woman has indeed seen Chengjiujiu, but she doesn't know where Chengjiujiu has gone. ”
"It's possible for her to lie."
"It's possible, but she doesn't have to, she doesn't know who I am."
Dongfang Shenwei stood up slowly, stood in front of the window and looked at the street outside: "It is certain that Chengjiujiu is no longer in Luoyang, and it will probably be difficult to find her." ”
"I know." Yan Ting sat at the table, there were several hot dishes and a plate of steamed buns on the table, Yan Ting grabbed one and gnawed it, Dongfang Shenwei asked, "Since you know, do you still have to waste time looking for her?" ”
"I'm not looking for it yet."
"Oh?" Dongfang Shenwei turned around and asked, "Not looking for it?" ”
"I figured it out." Yan Ting stuffed steamed buns in his mouth, and said hesitantly: "You and I have no clue about the whereabouts of Chengjiujiu, and that Li Chaoqing is even more difficult to encounter, and the top priority is to rescue Hai Yichuan first." ”
Yan Ting is in a hurry, he needs to nourish his spirit and maintain full physical strength, there is no letter from the Iron Prince, but Yan Ting is not worried, as long as Hai Yichuan is still in Luoyang, then he will definitely not be able to avoid the Iron Prince's eyeliner.
Chengjiujiu is indeed not in Luoyang, in fact, even she herself can't say where this place is under her feet.
"Is that guy awake?" Cheng Jiujiu leaned on the donkey's back and shouted to Shen Ying on the side.
"Not yet!"
"One more bucket!"
Shen Ying grabbed a bucket and ran to the river in the distance, filled it with water, and ran to splash it on the drunk man who was paralyzed on the ground.
"Are you awake?"
Shen Ying lifted the wet head on the man's face and took a closer look, and exclaimed loudly: "He hasn't woken up yet!" He hasn't woken up yet! ”
"His grandmother's, don't pour it, just roast him on the fire rack!" Cheng Jiu Jiu liquor burst out, rushed to the man's side and kicked it a few meters away, the man rolled on the ground several times, snorted twice, Cheng Jiu Jiu wine pointed at the man and scolded: "The old lady has never seen such a sleep, it's like a dead pig, I don't believe I can't wake you up." ”
Shen Ying's eyes widened: "We really want to roast him?" ”
Cheng Jiujiu glared: "How can you really bake, you go and light a torch, let's burn his ass a few times." ”
Shen Ying picked up some branches, lit them with flint and steel, and handed them to Chengjiu Wine: "You come?" ”
Cheng Jiu snatched the wine, and said angrily: "Look at your little talent, you don't have any responsibility for a man, look at me!" With that, he threw the burning branch on the man's buttocks.
"Oops!!"
The original drunk man on the ground opened his eyes suddenly, and then rubbed it up, his two hands kept patting his buttocks, and he kept inhaling while slapping his mouth, and Cheng Jiujiu laughed when he saw this: "You are awake, I still think that if this trick is useless, I will find a higher mountain and throw you down." ”
The man didn't care about Chengjiu and sneered, a fish jumped into the river, the cold river water made the man can't help but snort a few times comfortably, and the wine also woke up a lot, he looked at the two people on the river bank and asked, "Are you two sick?" What will you do with the fire? ”
Cheng Jiujiu said with a smile: "It's really kind to be a donkey's liver, I'm afraid that you won't wake up from death." ”
"Thank you so much." The man gritted his teeth and glared at Cheng Jiujiu, and Cheng Jiujiu waved his hand: "It's all the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes who should help each other, why don't you come up from the river first and we'll talk?" ”
The man climbed ashore from the river, only to feel that his buttocks were cold and swishing, and when he reached out and touched it, his pants were burned by Chengjiu Wine with a few big holes, and he couldn't help but point to Chengjiujiu is scolding, Chengjiujiu ignored the man's vulgar words and turned his head and asked Shen Ying: "Do you know how to go to Baihualou?" ”
Shen Ying said: "Of course I know! I go twice a day, just like in my own home. ”
Cheng Jiujiu nodded and asked softly to the man in the river, "Then do you want to go?" ”
The man exclaimed, "Who are you?" How do you know I'm going there! ”
"You said it yourself."
"How can I say such a thing to you!"
"Then it looks like you don't want to go." Cheng Jiu Jiu turned his head and shouted to Shen Ying: "Let's go, let's go and kill that Cheng Jiu Jiu Liquor ourselves." ”
"Wait, Woman!" The man couldn't take care of his bare cheeks, and with a smear of oil under his feet, he rushed to the side of Chengjiujiu and grabbed him: "You just said that you killed Chengjiujiu?" ”
"Yes, we're going to kill the nine wines of the city too." Cheng Jiujiu said with a smile.
"Why did you kill her?"
"Because...... That city Jiujiu is a heinous brute, bullying men and women for all kinds of evil, everyone will be punished. ”
"The city nine wine you want to kill is the same person I am looking for?" The man asked suspiciously, "How did I hear that Cheng Jiujiu is just a little girl with a whip?" ”
"And who are you? Why kill a little girl? Cheng Jiujiu asked.
The man coughed lightly twice, and saluted the two of them pretendedly: "The contemptible Li eliminated the disaster, what he did was to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and killing that Chengjiujiu was entrusted by a patron." ”
"I haven't heard of it." Cheng Jiujiu asked Shen Ying beside him: "When did the beggar gang even do this kind of work?" ”
"I'm not a beggar."
"You're at least seven bags in the beggars." Cheng Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh: "Your kind of business should be very profitable, how did you make it like this?" ”
Li Xiaoyan said: "Because my offer is too high, I have only received my first business until I entered the industry. ”
Cheng Jiujiu became interested and asked, "How much silver do you need to kill someone?" ”
Li Xiaohua said: "Don't want silver." ”
Cheng Jiujiu said: "Then what do you want?" ”
Li Xiaoyan said: "I want what I want." ”
Cheng Jiujiu said: "What do you want?" ”
"That's where I get stuck." The man sighed and said, "I'm very greedy, I don't have enough 100,000 gold when I want silver, and I don't think it's beautiful enough when I want a woman, so I can't find a suitable customer." ”
"You met it this time, what did he give you?"
"An adversary."
"You want an opponent?"
"Not bad. This patron of mine told me that the whip of Chengjiujiu is the most powerful weapon in the world, and no one in the world can beat it, and I would love to see it. ”
"That's what you believe?"
"I didn't believe it, but this patron of mine brought something."
"What's that?"
"The head of a lonely man."
