Streamer Pavilion (4)

Time obscured everything, blinded the eyes, until one day the memory was torn again and the flesh and blood blurred again, as if I realized that time had passed.

Suburb.

The imperial capital is so big that each is entrenched. There are a cluster of princes and ministers, a cluster of businessmen and wealthy people, a cluster of prosperous streets, and a cluster of poor houses and alleys. But there are some places that are not next to each other, if they are either haunted houses, or they are mixed. This is the case here, far from the center, not by commerce, and even less by the side of the main road, but it does not prevent some strange people from entrenching here. Among them, there is a very quaint house, which looks old-fashioned because of some years, but it can be seen that it is well cared for and is still magnificent and elegant.

Standing in front of a quaint house, Riying hesitated, he heard the people who came to greet him, and after looking at Peng Xiu with a look of surprise, he shouted "Young Master" loudly. There are few places in the imperial capital where servants can call Peng Xiu a young master, even in his own mansion, they have to call the master or His Royal Highness, and there are very few mansions that can make Peng Xiu a junior. Then the mansion in front of you is most likely the mansion of Peng Xiu's uncle, the younger brother of the deceased Princess Leah, and the Count of Reims.

"Oh, you're the little ghost with the story?"

After passing through the quaint hall and the side corridor, the two people who came directly to the study of the warm pavilion had just stepped into the door, and they were blocked by the Count of Reims, who had already known about the visit, and watched strongly. He circled around the shadow of the sun, circled twice, and continued.

"People look quite pleasing to the eye, but these other things are not on the conditions, no, no......" he shook his head as he spoke, shaking his hair with a little white strand.

"Ahem......" Peng Xiu coughed twice in embarrassment.

"What?" Lance looked at Peng Xiu. "Is it just that I am allowed to contribute, and that I am not allowed to share dividends?"

"Uncle. Peng Xiu shouted a little helplessly.

"Originally, after you let this little ghost go to the banquet with the badge, others won't come to me to inquire if they don't ask you?

"Then how did you go out of your way to get rid of it?" asked Peng Xiu with an eyebrow.

Count Ben smiled gracefully and did not answer. ”

The Count of Reims raised his head slightly, looking elegant and proud, but if he could write on his face, it should have three words written on it: Praise for it!

"So Robert said that the rumor that I had been forbidden in the imperial capital recently turned out to be from you. Peng Xiu raised his eyebrows again, his eyes shining with a slight cold light.

"What! Fools, I've hinted so clearly, how can there be such rumors. Ahem, I find that this kid is really good, come on, come and sit down, tell me what is the matter with me today?"

"About Kamel. Sunshadow didn't care about the twitching of the corners of Count Lance's mouth, and didn't want to ask if the forbidden belly in his mouth was referring to him, and was very cooperative in providing material to change the subject.

"Who?" replied Count Reims, frowning slightly, thinking for a while. "I don't know. ”

"It's about shampoo, shampoo old man. Peng Xiu's magnetic voice said steadily.

"You know, it can't be. Lance's brows furrowed even deeper, and the sense of vicissitudes of experience, the calm aura of the superior, diffused. "They were all dead. ”

The crescent moon has just sprouted, and the translucent light is still hidden in the clouds, evolving into a dark night. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is the time to be a thief.

Two slender young men dressed in black night clothes stood outside the courtyard wall of the Streamer Pavilion.

"Do you really want to go in?" One person was the voice of the Sun Shadow, still cold, but there was a bit of helplessness between his eyebrows.

There is only one person in the imperial capital who can make him show this kind of expression. I just listened to the magnetic and beautiful voice, and said with a little interest. "It's the first time I've been a thief with Xiaoying, it's fun and interesting. ”

"You can come openly. ”

"Yes. At that time, when I saw the invitation, I thought that the girl was just going to invite you privately, and even if she went together, she wouldn't let me in. But I didn't expect her to let you in in public, and I knew that this was the case, so I said that I would go together. After speaking, he showed a little regret.

Sunkage couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Knowing the rules, he deliberately followed the people who didn't know the truth, who didn't know anything, and the people in the Streamer Pavilion in front of him who didn't know anything were really not known who they were.

"Let's be a thief. If you go in with Miga and become a servant, I am afraid that within half a day, everyone in the imperial capital will know about it. ”

"Who said I was going to be a servant? Peng Xiu smiled with a little cunning and a little sincerity.

Riying rolled his eyes, not wanting to continue to entangle with Peng Xiu on this topic, so he didn't answer, and jumped directly on the wall and turned over.

Behind the wall, it is indeed a world that belongs to hollyhocks. Large expanses of hollyhocks bloomed wantonly, overflowing the entire space, filling the sea of souls between the breath. Even if no one appreciates it, it should be beautiful and thrilling.

"I didn't know, there was a place like this in the Streamer Pavilion. It seems familiar. Peng Xiu looked at the sea of flowers, squinting his eyes and falling into a few memories

"You've been to the Streamer Pavilion?" Sunshadow wondered.

"No, but hollyhocks don't have a lot of flowers. I seem to have seen it somewhere. Also, before going out, didn't Robert give you a piece of material and nag on the side for a while? Are you distracted again?" Peng Xiu looked at the sun shadow with a face that I didn't know, and raised his eyebrows.

Robert seemed to be saying that there was something deployed inside the Streamer Pavilion, open to people and entertained. And Sunshadow, after answering, concentrated on wiping the sleeve knife, thinking about where it would be better to come in.

It seems that Robert has a real reason for the headache every time he holds his forehead. Peng Xiu sighed slightly and continued. He knew from people who had been to the Streamer Pavilion that there were many different entertainment venues in the Streamer Pavilion. There is the dance floor where Miga went last time, there are ordinary banquet halls, song halls, wine houses, restaurants, flower rooms, gambling halls, brothels, fighting arenas, hunting grounds, etc., and it is rumored that when everyone comes, there will be guides to see through their inner desires, take them to different places, and release their inner selfish desires. Those celebrities have been invited, and in addition to their unknowable desires are released here, their fathers, brothers, and servants are also deeply trapped in it, and voluntarily become the servants of celebrities. ”

"Can a guide see through desire?" "Sunshadow frowned, he hadn't met any guide last time, could it be the young woman who guided Miga?

"You really didn't listen to it properly. Peng Xiu found that he also had the urge to hold his forehead. "They all mention that a man who can see through people's hearts should be the Carmel you meet. ”

"It's not the right path. As the two of them chatted, they had already walked briskly through a corridor for a while, and only then did the Japanese Shadow feel that the path was not the same as when he first arrived.

Robert also said that the interior of the Streamer Pavilion is extremely complicated, and not many people know the inside story, and the craftsmen are missing or dead. How did you know you came in from the flower garden?"

"Altea said that no one has ever been here, and said that it is very safe, I think there should be no mechanism here, even if the mechanism is set up, it is placed inside, and the people outside basically don't know about the flower garden, and most importantly, Altea seems to be hinting to me, whether it is to go out or enter this complex streamer pavilion, this is the best and safest path. As long as you can find the right place. ”

As the two of them spoke, they had quickly retreated, ready to return to the flowerbed again to find other routes, but sure enough, the hanging corridor at the near end had become another corridor, no longer the beautiful flowerbed overflowing with the fragrance of flowers.

Sure enough, such an expression was written in the good-looking eyes of the two, and then the two began to observe the surroundings tacitly.

"Also, I think the shampoo may have similarities, do you remember?"

The two of them didn't pause, but walked forward while looking for the mechanism, no matter what kind of Longtan Tiger's Den was here, they had to break through.

"I don't remember it anymore. Peng Xiu said, squatting down and pressing a wall tile with shallow grinding marks in the corner. The sound of the clattering mechanism resounded all around. It seems that there is a track running, and the road at the intersection seems to be changing.

"At that time, I only went to stay for a few days, although I also played everywhere, but I did not see all of them, and my memory was not deep, and I didn't think there was anything special about the shampoo at that time, I just thought it was like an ordinary town, but I didn't expect everything to follow, and I didn't think of its destruction. By the time I stepped in again, it was unrecognizable. Lance may know everything, but he hasn't told me the truth all these years, and the only one who knows about those things back then is Lance, I think it's Morton. Morton's origins may have been due to shampoo. Peng Xiu said plainly with some memories while looking for the way. At this time, chatting with Hikage about the past of Shampoo is not as sad as the first time.

"You're saying it's Morton who killed the shampoo?" "No one ever told how the shampoo was destroyed. "Does Lance know?"

"Should know. Peng Xiu was not sure.

"Then why didn't you bother him?" asked Sunshadow curiously.

"That's what I find weird too. Exactly how he made his fortune with shampoo, maybe Lance is not too clear. After all, Lance thought that all the people of Chambord were dead, and no one knew the truth. ”

"What about Kamel, is it really like Lance said, can't it be?" asked Hikage.

"That's for Carmel, but I think he probably doesn't know that much, or maybe he knows that Morton told him. According to his age, he was very young when it happened. What's more, if they hadn't missed a clue in the shampoo, no one would have thought of it here. Shampoo and this place seem to be completely unrelated places after all. ”

"Lance seems to be willing to talk about Chambord, what ......happened to Chambord," Sunshadow said, remembering that the person in front of him probably wanted to know more about it than he did, after all, it had something to do with his mother's death.

But Peng Xiu never had the slightest impatience, knowing that even if he knew the truth, he would not change the calmness of the status quo. The future is uncertain, the world is impermanent, even if the road ahead is unclear, the overall situation can be important, and the burden can be forward.
