5. The man in black
When he returned to Dali Temple, Luo Bing saw that Ouyang Qing was the only one inside, and he felt strange in his heart, and asked, "Why are you the only one?"
Ouyang Qing replied: "Lu Changfeng and Leng Qi went to inquire about yesterday's fight. ”
Luo Bing was silent, and was about to return to the room, but saw Ouyang Qing showing a sly smile, and was surprised to himself, knowing that something good must happen to Ouyang.
Ouyang Qing said in a low voice, "Brother Luo, have you heard of the people on the ship?"
Luo Bing hesitated: "Oh...... But it's only open during the Spring Festival?" Seeing Ouyang Qing nodding, he continued: "It is said that there is only one prostitute in the family on this boat, but it is an incomparable Oiran, not only the price of receiving customers is scary, but also he will never sell himself, just play the piano and paint, make tea and chat, and because the gods have no water, the boat is on the moat, so it has the name of the person on the boat." I also had the intention to watch the excitement, but there have been many things recently, so I haven't done it. ”
Ouyang Qing frowned and said, "Do you sell your art, do you sell your body?" I heard that the women in there have martial arts, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Luo Bing laughed and said: "Are you still serious? The so-called selling of art is not selling your body, it is just a signboard, attracting everyone to take a look, and when you take out the gold and silver mountains, see if she sells her body? If you say that you have martial arts and are not afraid of using strength, it is even more ridiculous, there are many fast catches, government servants, and Jin Wuwei in the city, what kind of kung fu does she have, how can she get so many masters?"
Ouyang Qing was speechless for a moment, and secretly felt that what Luo Bing said was reasonable.
Don't look over it and think about it for a long time, and ask, "Brother Luo, are you interested in exploring the truth and reality?"
Luo Bing straightened his clothes: "Naturally interested! Why don't we go tonight?"
Ouyang Qing smiled and said, "Why don't we go and ...... now?"
Luo Bing patted him on the shoulder: "In my opinion, let's wait for Lu Changfeng to come back......"
Ouyang Qing heard this, shook his hand and said, "How could he go? ”
Luo Bing smiled and didn't answer, but he had to wait for Lu Changfeng to come back, Ouyang Qing was puzzled, but he had to sit aside.
At dinner time, Lu Changfeng finally came back, Luo Bing told him about it, but Lu Changfeng agreed, Ouyang Qing was very surprised in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out.
After dinner, the three of them went to the ship's house together.
Seeing that the lights were bright and green, the warblers and the swallows, and the singing of the minor tune also came, Ouyang Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Brother Lu, is this...... Why did you agree to come here today? I don't see you going to these places on weekdays......"
Lu Changfeng said lightly: "The six people who were beaten half to death yesterday are indeed justified in being beaten, and I will beat them half to death." The eunuchs of this dynasty are already very low-key, the reason is that the women in the pavilion agreed with them that as long as they defeated a few internal guards in the pavilion at that time, they could spend one night for free. “
But there is such a thing, so the officials of Dali Temple rely on the large number of people, and fight in the cabinet, and there will be a future. The eunuch was beaten and ran back to report Cao Yongmin.
While talking, the three of them have entered the ship's house, only to see a small road leading to the boat crowded with people, crowded, some inquiry, only to know that there are many guests, and there is only one woman who picks up guests, if you wait, I am afraid that there will be no three or five days to make a decision.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all felt helpless, so they wanted to leave, and suddenly saw a green-clothed maid hurriedly walking down from the upstairs, and said in a loud voice: "Are the three over there Lu Pujiao, Commander Luo, and Ouyang Zhutou?" The three nodded in response, and the maid bowed down and said, "My young lady is invited!"
The people next to him dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, looking at the appearance of these three people, most of them were not good stubble. In addition, he shouted the title of Pu Shot, the one who dared to come forward, the first-class officer investigated the case, and the one who picked up Qifeng.
This time the joy fell from the sky, the three of them all looked at each other, and they were surprised, Ouyang Qing laughed out loud, and the three of them got on the boat in the eyes of others who loved and hated.
There was no one on board, but it was a large painting boat with soft Persian carpets on the floor.
There is a coffee table in the center of the hall, a pipa is hung on the wall, and a handwriting of Li Taibai hangs on the wall.
Not long after the three of them sat down, half a pot of hot tea on the coffee table, only to hear the ringing dingdong, a girl in a light green shirt walked out with light steps, holding a plate in her hand, which contained pastries and snacks, knowing that she was just a maid, but seeing her slender figure and elegant manners, her heart was also slightly moved.
When the woman looked up, her face was covered with a scarf, and her exposed face was also ugly, I don't know if it was a birthmark or a scar, and there were two large black scars at the corners of her eyes.
Lu Changfeng is not good at Fengyue, just looking out the window casually, listening to the little song is already very happy.
Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing had been staring at the woman, and when they saw that disguised face at this moment, they were taken aback and immediately looked away.
The girl in green seemed to be accustomed to the white eyes of others, but she didn't care, and placed the pastries on her plate in front of the three of them. Ouyang Qing was annoyed in his heart: "How did you find such an ugly maid?
I saw that when the girl put the pastry in front of Luo Bing, Luo Bing raised her head, the two looked at each other, Luo Bing's eyebrows trembled, and she suddenly shouted: "You...... How did you become like this?"
As he spoke, he reached out with both hands and clasped the girl's wrists.
This change was hasty, Lu Changfeng and Ouyang Qing were unexpected, and the girl only felt a sharp pain, and before she could react, her hands were already held.
Luo Bing's hands were clenched extremely tightly, the girl was in unbearable pain, her face was pale, and cold sweat was oozing from her forehead. Luo Bing didn't seem to be aware of it, his face was miserable, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, his eyes were distracted, he just stared at the girl's eyes, and hissed: "You...... How did you get here?"
Ouyang Qing hurriedly said: "Luo Bing, don't be reckless, is this your old acquaintance?"
Luo Bing didn't answer, stared at the girl's eyes, seemed to be suddenly for a while, let go of his hands, calmed down a little, and asked, "Don't you have a disguise, what's your name?"
Although his demeanor and tone were greatly calm, his hands and feet trembled a little, and he was obviously extremely excited and expectant.
The ugly-faced girl panicked: "I...... My name is Satsuki, and I'm ...... I don't know you......" His voice was hoarse and hurried, with a little panic, and he turned his head to run away.
Luo Bing asked again, "Do you have any brothers and sisters?"
The ugly-faced girl hurriedly replied as she ran away, "No...... No, there really isn't a ......" As soon as the words fell, he rubbed his wrist and ran into the room.
Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng were surprised when they saw this scene, and Ouyang Qing couldn't help but ask, "Brother Luo, do you know this girl?"
Luo Bing has returned to normal, but he seems to be a little unrelenting, hesitated for a long time, and said with a smile: "I was a playmate when I was a teenager, named Boyu, and my appearance was miserable, and that woman was really indistinguishable, it can be said that there is only this pair in heaven and earth, and I also said that they are brothers, sisters, sisters, and brothers, so I have this question." ”
Ouyang Qinghu said suspiciously: "I clearly heard you say, 'How did you become like this', could it be that Brother Luo knows that woman?"
Luo Bing shook his head and said, "That's my guess." ”
Ouyang Qing wanted to ask again, but heard a soft voice coming in: "Let a few people wait for a long time, the little woman is rude." ”
The voice is extremely charming and beautiful, straight as the cry of a milk swallow, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Ouyang Qing only felt that the bones in his body were a few pounds lighter, so he didn't ask anymore, and quickly turned his head to look.
Seeing a woman's purple light shirt and pink Luo skirt, Yingying walked in, although she also wore a veil on her face, it was still bright and beautiful.
Luo Bing couldn't help but move in his heart, and said: "I don't count the places I have been in and out of Fengyue, there are not a thousand women I have seen, but there are also eight hundred, but none of them have such a pleasant voice and such a perfect body. ”
The woman walked up to the three of them and smiled lightly: "How about a little girl accompany the three of you to have a drink." ”
Lift the veil, grab the glass and drink it down.
Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing saw her lift the veil, and they were overjoyed in their hearts, but they wanted to see who was wonderful.
Unexpectedly, her veil was lifted to reveal her cherry mouth, and as soon as she drank it, the veil hung down, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
However, her plump lips and sharp jaw are enough to ecstatic any man.
Lu Changfeng is an exception.
Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing were already surging with heat in their lower abdomen, and they were horny.
Lu Changfeng's gaze was still cold, and when he saw the two of them staring at the woman intently, he said lightly to her at the moment: "You have a strange voice, aren't you from the Central Plains?"
The woman chuckled and said, "The little girl is a Persian, but when she was twelve years old in the Central Plains, my father was originally a Hu merchant and gave me the name Hu Miji. ”
Lu Changfeng glanced at her, and still said lightly: "Then how long have you been in Middle-earth, why did you come here to fiddle with Fengyue?"
Luo Bing was unhappy: "Lu Changfeng really didn't understand the amorous feelings, when he saw such a beautiful woman, he didn't think about how to coax her to bed, and he even asked about these many miscellaneous things, and his tone was so blunt, like an interrogation, it was really a bad scenery." ”
Lu Changfeng or a faint voice, we are already here, don't you still wear a veil to snub the guests?
Ouyang Qing finally felt happier at this time, Pu Jie was still lustful!
Hu Miji smiled slightly, raised her hand and put the green silk behind her ear, and said softly: "If the three of you see my face, you will never forget me, but I can only fall in love with one of the three at most, doesn't this hurt the other two?"
Luo Bing laughed and said: "The girl is really exotic, and her confidence is different!"
Hu Miji's wrist bent slightly, her fingertips gently slid from her shoulders to her chest, and she said coquettishly, "Shouldn't I be confident?"
Luo Bing said loudly: "The girl has self-confidence, but she doesn't have it? Perhaps, the girl will fall in love with me?"
Ouyang Qing swallowed his saliva, held his mouth, pressed his palms and smiled: "Reasonable, reasonable!"
Hu Miji swayed her waist slightly, sat down slowly, her eyes turned on the three of them, as if she was a little shy, she raised her hand and slowly took off the veil.
Luo Bing trembled all over, and what he saw in front of him was like a forest of flowers and snow, like a new moon halo, a face was beautiful and vulgar, pitiful, delicate and tactful.
Only those eyes were still as pale blue as the sea.
Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing's hearts were shaken, and they all forgot their words.
Lu Changfeng seemed to want to say something, but finally held back.
Hu Miji sighed lightly and said softly: "Are the three of you interested in listening to the little girl play the pipa?"
Ouyang Qingxi said: "Listen to your ears, then you will be happy!"
He turned around and took the pipa, plucked it twice, and said slowly: "This is a song of the phoenix." With a flick of his hand, he began to play. The three of them only heard the sound of the piano flowing from her fingertips, like a bright swallow with wings about to fly, flying up and down, the sound of the piano at the treble was clear and bright, but it was like the distant sky outside the plug, precipitating a clear and gorgeous light; the bass was "the desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets over the long river", which is magnificent and a little majestic; the gentle place still has the shyness of a woman who comes out of the bath, it seems that she is in love, and it is extremely wonderful.
At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers, and the tail notes surround the wall for three days.
Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing were still in a trance, but their souls didn't know where they went.
But I heard Lu Changfeng knock on the table and said coldly: "You two, have you brought enough silver?"
Luo Bing replied casually: "Let me reminisce about the aftertaste, don't worry." ”
Hu Miji stopped and said: "Childe, let's check the silver taels, two hundred taels per person per hour, and now two hours have passed, a total of one thousand two hundred taels." ”
Luo Bing was shocked, stood up and said, "What? One thousand two hundred taels, we've been here for two hours?"
Hu Miji smiled lightly, her teeth were slightly exposed, her head was tilted, her expression was a little playful, and she pointed to an hourglass on the wall: "It's exactly two hours." ”
Ouyang Qing also changed color.
Lu Changfeng was still sitting, drinking sake one by one, and the fruits and vegetables on the plate had already been eaten.
Look at Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing, you guys are paying, don't look at me, Ouyang knows that I can't find half a tael of silver on me.
Luo Bing's mouth opened, and he touched his hand into his arms and said happily: "The silver ticket of Mr. Cao is still there, let's put it on first!" Without waiting for Lu Changfeng to speak, he quickly pulled the two of them out like a fly.
Ouyang Qing turned back three times in one step, and he was still unsatisfied, looking at the situation, he had the intention of using light skills to visit the people on the ship at night. , Luo Bing didn't feel it, and was about to make a joke, but he heard a woman's voice coming: "Three of you stay!"
The three of them looked back, but it was a maid, holding a stack of silver tickets, and hurried to catch up. I only heard her say: "This is my young lady who is still here." ”
Luo Bingqi said: "Why do you pay back?"
After looking at it again, he saw that it was four silver tickets of one hundred taels, and asked, "Besides, do you want to pay back the full amount?"
The maid said to Lu Changfeng: "My young lady said that only you will be returned." ”
Luo Bing couldn't help laughing and said, "This little girl probably looks at you coldly, and she is not very interested!"
Lu Changfeng still looked expressionless, noncommittal.
Before Luo Bing could speak, Lu Changfeng stretched out his hand to stop, and then said to the maid, "Thank you!" pulled the two of them, turned around and left.
Luo Bing was slightly curious, but he heard Lu Changfeng whisper to himself: "These things are really complicated. ”
Eating and drinking like this, another half a month.
During the half moon, Luo Bing, Lu Changfeng, and Ouyang Qing learned martial arts during the day and drank and chatted at night.
Among the three, Ouyang Qing's martial arts were the worst, but fortunately, he was willing to work hard and made the greatest progress.
Luo Bing talked about martial arts with Ouyang Qing for a few days, Wudang martial arts is about the more you practice, the better, and the stronger you are, but in the past few days, it has never been as much as Ouyang Qing has realized from the superficial martial arts in the rivers and lakes.
On this day, he was struggling to understand martial arts, and when he looked back at Chu Qiuyan, he didn't have a good anger and said, "What are you doing?"
Chu Qiuyan smiled lightly and lifted the two wine jars in his hands: "I'll give you wine...... Won't you let me come in and sit down?" Luo Bing was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "I didn't call her to send wine?" Seeing that she was going to come in, she knew that something was wrong.
glanced at Ouyang Qing at the moment, saw that he was thinking hard about his own tricks to crack the method, ignoring others, and led Chu Qiuyan into his room.
Chu Qiuyan took out a pile of shredded paper from his arms and said, "This morning, a friend of yours came to my hotel and asked to see you by name, I said that you didn't come here for a few days, he didn't seem to want to come here to find you, tore up a letter and threw it in the straw pile and left, I picked up the letter back......" said and picked up the pile of shredded paper with both hands.
Luo Bing picked out the envelope from the shredded paper and put it together, only to see a line of words "To Luo" written crookedly on it, and a few black circles were drawn between the words "Luo" and "Bing", with traces of alteration, and I thought that the word "ice" would not be written.
Luo Bing frowned, guessed the author of this letter, and said with a smile: "It seems that my friend who doesn't know how to learn and doesn't know how to write it, he is also careless, this letter is only hastily torn apart, if it falls into the hands of others, everyone will be finished." ”
Chu Qiuyan pursed his lips and smiled, didn't speak, turned around and walked out.
Outside the hospital, Ouyang Qing meditated for a long time, only to feel that Luo Bing had only a few tricks and disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace to be found.
Lu Changfeng was not interested in the three of them, and he was even more annoyed by Ouyang Qing's hard practice, practicing martial arts was the ability to adapt to changes, and he relied on the three of them every day to learn how to progress, so he simply went to sleep.
Just thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a cold cry from outside the house: "Quick, come out, I have found the trace of the man in black!"
When everyone in Dali Temple heard this, they were all taken aback, and they walked out one after another, only to see Leng Qi's face excited, and hurriedly said: "I found shallow footprints in front of a cave in Niutou Mountain, and there is a pile of bonfire ashes next to it, let's go quickly!"
It was where the man in black had landed, and I followed it for a few days before I came back to report.
Ouyang Qing said in a deep voice: "Are you sure that you will abandon the cold?"
Leng Qi nodded and said, "I can't make a mistake, I'm 100% sure!" Everyone knew the power of Leng Qi, and when they saw him so convinced, they were all surprised and delighted, and they went back to the house to get their blades, and they were ready to fight.
Ouyang Qing and Lu Changfeng arranged for the two, led everyone, and went straight to Niutou Mountain, only Luo Bing followed behind, secretly worried about Chu Qiuyu in his heart.
They rode out of the city, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they abandoned their horses, and went into the mountain on foot, and coldly abandoned the way, and traveled very fast all the way, and in half an hour they drove nearly ten miles of mountain road, and came to a cave.
Ouyang Qing looked at the cave, and saw that the cave was extremely deep, and gusts of cold wind blew out of it, and he couldn't help frowning.
Lu Changfeng ordered ten departments and one post to surround the mountain, and did not allow the yamen and the catch to do it quickly, knowing that the yamen and the catch were given in vain.
Then he took Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing to search around, but they found nothing except the footprints and ashes that they found earlier.
Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing stood in front of the cave, only to feel that the mountain wind was swishing, blowing on their bodies was extremely uncomfortable, and the sound of "wooing" came from the cave, which was even more weird.
The two glanced at each other, and Ouyang Qinghan said coldly: "In this way, the man in black is only afraid that he is in the cave." ”
Luo Bing shook his head and said: "The footprints may not be those of the man in black, even if they have lived here, they may not still be in the cave, this cave is dark and deep, no one knows how many forks in it, how many ambushes, it is really dangerous to rush in." ”
Leng Qi heard this on the side, pointed to the footprints and said: "Brother Luo doesn't know, he has studied the footprints of people below, and these footprints are very small and are women's footprints. There was a protrusion in the middle section, apparently a piece of the boot that had been broken, as was the footprint of the fight half a month ago. Besides, the footprints on such a thin piece of mud are obviously accidentally stepping into the mud, if it is an ordinary person, it must be deep in the mud, but you look at this footprint, shallow enough, it can be seen that the person who left the footprints is quick to adapt, and the light skill is high, which is extremely amazing, so it seems that in addition to the man in black, who else?"
Lu Changfeng said strangely: "This man in black is a woman?"
Leng Qi said: "Now it seems to be."
Ouyang Qing also said: "Yes, Luo Bing, the technique of cold abandonment tracking is unparalleled in the world, and what he believes in must not be wrong." The man in black has a deep blood feud with my Dali Temple, how can I let him go today? This cave is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and I am going to break into it!"
The servants took off the baggage on their backs and handed it over: "Before leaving the door, I took out all my torches, they are all here, and when I enter the cave, the torches are indispensable." ”
Ouyang Qing took it, lit the torch, and the speaker had already strode into the cave.
Luo Bing said to Lu Changfeng: "There are only twelve torches, you and Ouyang Qing take ten people in, and the rest of us will guard the outside with me, first, to prevent the black-clothed man from escaping from a fork in the cave, and second, to prevent someone from attacking from the periphery and catching turtles in an urn." ”
Lu Changfeng ordered ten people and followed Ouyang Qing in.
