Chapter 174: Yang Liu Qingqing (19)
The popular lady returned to the secret room with Qianqian, and the cooperation between Ye Yunsheng and the troupe officially began.
agreed with Qianqian to meet at the east gate of Chang'an at noon tomorrow, and set off to the rabbit house together, Ye Yunsheng said goodbye and planned to go back to sleep again, and then tidy up tomorrow and arrange everything.
At this time, he and the man in black found the official road from the wilderness, walked along the road, and came to the outside of Chang'an City by feeling the direction.
Although Chang'an is dilapidated, it is still one of the few big cities in the world, and it can be done by spending money from the inside, but it is not so easy to enter from the outside.
The two of them didn't have anything to do at night, and they wasted half a day of energy with their bare hands before crawling into the city.
After making such a fuss, not to mention the man in black who had been in the troupe for a long time, even Ye Yunsheng was hungry and thirsty.
The two of them almost went straight to the liquor shop, looked for a place that was still cleaning up, dragged a store that wanted to sleep, and asked for some wine and food.
The two ate and drank all the time, and sacrificed the five internal organs temple, and then they said each other's names and got to know each other.
Before, whether it was teasing and torturing the thugs of the troupe, or the red lady threatening life and death, the man in black refused to say his name, but this time when Ye Yunsheng asked, he told him bluntly.
This man in black is named Cui Sheng, the name of the rivers and lakes is Yama in black, he is a new wanderer in the rivers and lakes, Ye Yunsheng has never heard of it, and he only has a relationship.
"I saw you near the ruins of Weiyang Palace, when you were dealing with the people of the opera troupe, and there were two swordsmen from Luoyang Qingfeng Gate, I saw that those people were not your opponents, so they didn't show up. ”
"I'm ashamed, Cui didn't have a serious background, and when he was young, he admired the martial arts who practiced chivalry and righteousness, so he went to the rivers and lakes to visit famous teachers, worshiped several masters, and learned some swordsmanship. The martial arts were vulgar, which made Brother Ye smile. ”
Ye Yunsheng toasted him with a glass of wine and said: "It is not easy for the little brother to learn this ability by himself, and what is even more admirable is that he has a chivalrous and righteous heart, fearless of life and death, and does not have to be arrogant." ”
Cui Sheng drank the wine in the cup, directly picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Ye Yunsheng, and then raised a glass to him.
"Brother Ye pretended to be knocked unconscious for the sake of those kidnapped little ladies and found out the reason, and asked them to take you to see the red lady?"
"It's for these women, it's for a friend of mine...... Otherwise, how can you easily meet the head of the troupe?"
"But how can you be sure she'll meet you, instead of just asking her men to kill you?"
"I can't say for sure, but it doesn't matter, just push the boat and give it a try. ”
"Yes, if they really want to kill you, you can kill them all at will. ”
"Prizes have been awarded. ”
The shopkeeper fell asleep on a table. Cui Sheng was embarrassed to let people work so hard, so he wanted to pay for the wine and leave. Unexpectedly, when I touched my pocket, the money was taken away by the people of the troupe.
Ye Yunsheng had never been taken out of his arms, so he lost the money on the table at the moment, asked the store to clean up, and walked to the street with Cui Sheng.
"But why did the red lady bring you over?" Cui Sheng is a wanderer in the rivers and lakes, and he is very clear about the doorways in the rivers and lakes, but there are some intrigues and intrigues, perhaps because he has encountered few things, and he can't understand it for a while.
"Because she didn't know if I was targeting the troupe, she wasn't sure if there was anyone behind me to instruct her. Just like you, didn't he take you over too?" Ye Yunsheng said to him patiently.
"Is that really as she said, someone is deliberately spreading rumors and designing a theater troupe?"
"What she said, forget it, only one out of ten sentences may be true, so don't take it seriously. ”
"Then we still listen to her and go find the rabbit hutch?"
"Of course I did, and it just so happened that one of the things she said was true, I can be sure of that. ”
"Which one?"
Before leaving, the matchmaker specifically mentioned that their troupe also wanted to deal with the group in the rabbit house. ”
"The troupe has a grudge with the rabbit house?"
"The opera troupe is already secret, and there are very few rumors and news in the rivers and lakes, so how can I know...... But I think there should be a contradiction in it, and we will always know it when we take it step by step. ”
There were almost no people in sight on the street, the shops on both sides were darkened, the trees, stone walls, and eaves on the street were all shadowed, and the glimmer of light on the horizon made everything even more silent.
"I still feel sorry for it. Cui Sheng's long knife was begged back by Ye Yunsheng from the Red Lady, and it was carried on his waist, swaying with his gait.
"It's a pity that I didn't kill the head of the drama troupe, and killed those drama prostitutes?" The wine jar in Ye Yunsheng's hand was almost finished, and he was a little excited, maybe it was the quietness of the night, which made him want to stay alone.
"Of course it's important to find those little ladies...... But the troupe did all kinds of evil, and I saw with my own eyes a sea boy in the city, who was cut by them with a knife and his flesh and blood were blurred, and died in the wilderness near Weiyang Palace. I don't think the troupe is much better than the bunch at the rabbit house, and it's even worse!"
Seeing Cui Sheng's gritted teeth, Ye Yunsheng couldn't help but think of his junior brother Liang Jie, and thought of himself ten years ago, when he encountered such a thing, he would grit his teeth and desperately find the other party, and then solve it with a sword.
Cui Sheng said distressedly: "Okay now, you and I both clap our hands and swear with the red lady that we will not do anything to hurt each other until we solve the rabbit house." Hey, it's disgusting that I finally let me know their secret place, but I can't do anything!"
Ye Yunsheng smiled bitterly and comforted him: "Many forces in the rivers and lakes, such as the opera troupe, look at each one of their martial arts and are vulnerable, but in fact, they don't fight with you at all. They use intrigues and mysteries to make the people in the rivers and lakes have a headache and are helpless. If I wanted to do it, I could have killed them all when I was in the secret room. But you see, in the end, the two of us who were originally aimed at the theater troupe were fooled by the matchmaker into a cooperative relationship. ”
Putting the empty wine jar in his hand on the side of the street, he patted Cui Sheng on the shoulder and said: "I intrigued with her to the end, and it seems that I have the upper hand, but who knows, is everything in her calculations? ”
Almost walked to Fukang Street, Ye Yunsheng said: "I'm almost home, you can also go back and take a shower, sleep well, and see you tomorrow." ”
"Brother Ye!" Cui Sheng called out to him, a little embarrassed, "Little brother has something to ask for." ”
"Say, if you don't understand, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well. ”
"Why did she not be afraid when you killed someone and threatened her again and again, but when you wanted to take her away, she was suddenly so afraid? I don't understand, how can a theater leader who is not even afraid of death be afraid of being taken away by you?"
"Do you know the story of the herb picker and the phoenix?"
Seeing Cui Sheng shaking his head, Ye Yunsheng said with emotion: "This story was told to me by my master. The phoenix is an immortal bird, which does not inhabit the sycamore, and stands on the top of the sycamore tree every day, surpassing the top of all living beings. It has a tail feather that can cure all diseases, and everyone in the world desires it. One day, a medicine picker came to the door to save his mother. It so happened that this phoenix was fighting with his old enemy, and was seriously injured, and he was recuperating on the plane tree, unable to move, and he climbed to the tree to ask for tail feathers. ”
The two of them stood on the side of the street, with the alley in front of them, and Ye Yunsheng said slowly. Cui Sheng was not in a hurry at all and listened quietly.
"This tail feather is extremely important to the phoenix, if you use the magic on weekdays, you can kill this person in an instant. But it happened to be weak that day, and it couldn't be used, but it didn't panic, because it was an immortal thing, and the medicine picker was an ordinary person, where could it hurt it? The medicine picker first pleaded, and then threatened, but it ignored it. In the end, the medicine picker was ruthless, hugged the phoenix, and wanted to leave the sycamore tree. ”
Ye Yunsheng suddenly smiled, thinking that Master Guanyun Daoist had told him this story, and his thoughts were exactly the opposite of his original intention of borrowing this story tonight.
The phoenix screamed loudly and miserably, begging for mercy. It is not afraid of death, nor is it afraid of Yao Lang hurting itself, but it is afraid of losing its status, losing its high living environment, and losing its vision at the top of all beings. ”
Yes, Daoist Guanyun wants him to be transcendent, but what he gave Cui Sheng is such a vulgar meaning.
Take the phoenix as the red lady of the drama troupe......
Ye Yunsheng laughed, amused by himself.
In Cui Sheng's inexplicable eyes, he walked into the alley.
"Brother Ye!" he clenched his fists and bent over, but he couldn't say the words to thank him for saving his life.
Ye Yunsheng didn't look back, as if he already knew what he was thinking, he stretched out his hand and waved, and his figure disappeared into the alley.
