Chapter 61: Tracing the Green Building
Taking advantage of the hazy night, Liu Xunyi, dressed in black, walked through the streets and alleys in Huodu City. About half an hour later, he hid in front of a show building with red and pink lanterns. Looking up, the black plaque on the lintel is impressively inscribed with three bright red characters of "Tianxianglou".
"This is the Tianxiang Building mentioned by Ding San, and Cao Qin's son was kidnapped here. Liu Xunyi hid in the corner of the wall and muttered quietly, "Someone has robbed Cao Qin's son at this juncture, and this incident is no coincidence that Cao Qin brought back the Stormy Rain Map." As I expected, eighty percent of the people who robbed Cao Gongzi also came for this picture. These people dare to tie people under the nose of the Jade Dragon Palace, they must be prepared. As long as I can find these people, I can find out the news about the Storm Map. ”
Although it is late at night, Tianxianglou is far less quiet than Long'an Inn, and people can still be seen in the brightly lit lobby, among which the sound of laughter and the sound of pushing cups and changing lamps is endless.
Although Huodu City was panicked by the people of the Jade Tiger Hall, Tianxianglou not only did not become the target of public criticism, but was still a peaceful scene of singing and dancing, and Cao Qin did not find any useful clues here.
There are many "beauties" in Tianxiang Building, and Liu Xunyi learned from Ding Sankou that the girl who accompanied Cao Gongzi for the night yesterday was a girl named "Xiaoqing", and this woman was also the concubine that Cao Gongzi had loved for many years.
But right now, Liu Xunyi not only doesn't know Xiaoqing's whereabouts, but he hasn't even seen Xiaoqing's appearance. Therefore, if he wants to find out the clues, he must first find this woman.
Liu Xunyi pondered for a moment, and squinted at the more than a dozen empty wine jars stacked in the corner, all of which were thrown out of Tianxianglou, and many of them still had some unfinished drinks, which were exuding bursts of wine at the moment.
Liu Xunyi had an idea, quickly took off the black scarf on his face, loosened his shirt a little, and rolled up a sleeve robe indiscriminately, deliberately dressed up a loose appearance. Then he picked up a jar of wine, stretched out his hand and stirred it a few times, and then slapped his hand stained with wine up and down on himself, making a pungent smell of wine.
Since Liu Xunyi drank a lot of alcohol at the Long'an Inn tonight, his slightly flushed face looked the same as a drunken appearance, coupled with the smell of alcohol, loose robes and pretending to stagger. In the blink of an eye, a bright-eyed Liu Xunyi has become a lazy and lazy drunk.
"Boom!"
With a sound, the drunken Liu Xunyi slammed open the door of Tianxianglou, mixed his left foot with his right foot, and stumbled into the lobby.
Tianxianglou is full of some drunk and lustful people, they hug the delicate beauties left and right, while being served to drink and eat meat, while not honestly playing with them, so no one cares about the sudden Liu Xunyi.
"This boy is very raw, he must be the first time to come to our Tianxiang Building, right?"
The old bustard, who wore heavy makeup, didn't expect that there would be guests coming to the door late at night, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and swayed the peach blossom fan to greet him.
She first looked left and right outside the door, and then carefully closed the door, while turning around, the white and tender jade hand had taken the initiative to hold Liu Xunyi's arm, the greasy and delicate body couldn't be attached to Liu Xunyi's body at the moment, when she smelled Liu Xunyi's full of wine, the smile on her face was a little stronger, and said: "Childe wants to have fun and come to our Tianxianglou, I don't know what kind of girl Childe likes?"
Liu Xunyi was embarrassed, but he didn't dare to show the slightest abnormality, so he had to sneer and sneer: "Find the most beautiful girl you have here to serve my son." ”
"Look at what Childe said, the girls here are all great beauties, it depends on which one Childe can match. The old bustard said, his eyes rolled, and he smiled meaningfully, "Of course, if the son wants a canary, then he must prepare a gold wire cage first, hehe......"
Of course, Liu Xunyi understood the meaning of the old bustard's words, he pretended to be unstable on his feet, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly he stumbled, and his body fell directly on a bejeweled fat man next to him, accompanied by the fat man's scolding and the girls' coquettish laughter, Liu Xunyi was supported by the old bustard's efforts, and only then did he stand up again and again, and he also made amends to the fat man one by one.
"Childe, you can slow down. The bustard reminded carefully.
"Wow!" Liu Xunyi turned around and threw a big silver ingot to the old bustard, "Is this enough to make a gold wire cage?"
"Enough! Enough!" The old bustard saw that Qian was open, and suddenly smiled and couldn't stop laughing, the flowers and branches trembled, and he helped Liu Xunyi to walk upstairs more diligently, and shouted as he walked, "Good wine and good food are ready, girls, come out to meet guests!"
When Liu Xunyi stepped on the stairs, he inadvertently glanced back at the fat man who was still unconscious, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a wicked smile.
The old bustard invited Liu Xunyi into the room, and after a while, a table of delicacies was served, and at the same time, more than a dozen young women with light eyebrows and eyes and uncovered clothes rushed in, standing in a row in front of Liu Xunyi, each scratching their heads and making gestures, making every effort to flatter.
"These are the most beautiful girls in Huodu City, I don't know which one can get into the eyes of the son?" the old bustard stood beside Liu Xunyi and introduced them one by one as if he was strategic, "This apricot girl is only eighteen years old...... That purple orchid girl can sing and dance......"
Liu Xunyi, who listened directly, pretended to be drunk, and waved his hand again and again: "I heard that you have a girl named 'Xiaoqing' here, known as the national color and Tianxiang, and my son wants her to serve." ”
Xiao Liquidation is the top brand of Tianxianglou, so it is not surprising that Liu Xunyi has heard of her name. It's just that after hearing the word "Xiaoqing", the bustard's face showed embarrassment for the first time.
"This son is very good at picking girls, Xiaoqing does have the ability, but ......" The old bustard looked like he wanted to say something, and smiled awkwardly, "It's just that Xiaoqing is not very comfortable today, I'm afraid I can't come to ......"
"Uncomfortable?" Liu Xunyi was stunned when he heard this, he knew that Xiaoqing was still with Cao Gongzi for a moment of Spring Festival last night, how could he suddenly feel uncomfortable?
"How could it be?" the old bustard gritted his teeth and took the silver in his hand ruthlessly, waved his hand to signal the girls to retreat, and whispered to Liu Xunyi, "It's just ...... Something happened in the early hours of this morning, presumably the son should have heard about it, Xiaoqing her...... She's really not fit to meet guests right now. ”
Liu Xunyi stared at the old bustard drunkenly, and said with a smile: "I know that Xiaoqing is the woman that Cao Gongzi likes, but she is actually in Tianxianglou, so she should know the rules of this industry, can she still put business and not do it?" I understand what you mean, I just came here to see the beauty of Xiaoqing girl, and afterwards I walked half of the road to the sky, and that Cao Gongzi would not know." As he spoke, Liu Xunyi stuffed a silver ingot into the bustard's hand.
"Childe misunderstood, it's not that Xiaoqing can't pick up customers, it's just ......" The old bustard was halfway through his words, but his eyes were suddenly ruthless, and he said frankly, "I'd better call her to Childe to see for himself......!
"What is given to you is for you, I won't ask you for it back, go and call Xiaoqing!" Liu Xunyi couldn't wait to urge.
Hearing this, the old bustard was immediately overjoyed, and simply no longer hesitated, and left the wing room quickly after pouring a glass of wine for Liu Xunyi.
Liu Xunyi waited for a stick of incense before the old bustard came, and at this moment behind her was a slender woman with a twisted expression and a white scarf.
"Childe, she is Xiaoqing. The old bustard said with a puzzled face.
"You can go out!" Liu Xunyi waved his hand.
"That ......" But the old bustard didn't mean to leave, he still stood at the door hesitantly, and said with a wry smile, "It's better for Childe to see her first, and if Childe doesn't dislike it, I'll leave." If not, I'll find another girl for my son to serve as soon as possible. ”
Liu Xunyi was stunned when he heard this, and then looked hesitantly at Xiao Qing who was standing in the corner, trembling, especially when he saw the silk scarf in front of Xiao Qing, he couldn't help but be puzzled, frowned slightly, and said, "Take off the silk scarf and let me see what you look like." ”
"Xiaoqing...... Xiao Qing is afraid of scaring the child...... "Xiao Qing's voice sounded a little muffled, not at all tactful and crisp that a woman should have, and Liu Xunyi could even clearly hear a trace of crying from it.
Liu Xunyi seemed to anticipate something, and turned his head to the old bustard and ordered: "You are not needed here, I will let her serve tonight, you go out!"
"But Childe ......"
"Get out!" Liu Xunyi's eyes widened, and the old bustard didn't dare to say much, so he could only glance at Xiaoqing helplessly, then sighed and turned to exit the room.
"Don't get in the way, you can pick it!" Liu Xunyi said softly.
"Let Childe see ...... smile"
Xiao Qing's voice was full of inferiority, and under Liu Xunyi's solemn gaze, she plucked up her courage again and again, and then stretched out her trembling Qianqianyu hand and slowly took off the silk scarf in front of her.
Suddenly, a bloody face appeared in front of Liu Xunyi, with more than 80 horizontal and vertical knife cuts on his face, and the depth of the incisions made the skin and flesh on his face turn out, and the red blood seemed to flow all over his face, plus the pieces of wound medicine that had been condensed with the flesh and blood, showing a red and black interlaced shape, the eyes, nose, and mouth were twisted into a ball, and in the red and swollen rotten flesh and blood scars, it was impossible to tell which one was which?
Even though Liu Xunyi had already guessed, he still subconsciously gasped when he saw such a cruel scene.
"You...... Your face is ......" Facing Xiao Qing, who couldn't cry, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel a tightness in his throat.
"Cao Gongzi was taken away from Tianxianglou because of me, so this is ...... The punishment given to the slave maid by the master of the hall ......"
......
