Chapter 62: Tianxiang National Color Building
Early the next morning, Mai Changfeng told Meng Chuanqing that the alliance leader had accepted his challenge, and the date was set for three days later. However, he came up with some strings attached. Meng Chuanqing was suddenly stunned, how could he become the leader of the alliance after one night. What is Mai Changfeng's idea?
After experiencing the pain of losing a child, Han Lingfeng seems to be much older, and his temples are already gray. Knowing that his son's body was moved out by Zhuang Fulou and buried at will, he was so angry that he scolded, and even greeted Zhuang Fulou's ancestors for eighteen generations. The most odious thing is that Zhuang Fulou didn't come back all night after he went out, and he didn't even know where his son's body was buried. So, he gave an order to chase and kill Zhuang Fulou for thousands of miles.
After settling this matter, Han Lingfeng met with Meng Chuanqing and put forward his two conditions. First, the decisive battle site must be set at Yanyang Lake, and the one who falls into the water first will lose; second, if Meng Chuanqing loses, he must recognize Han Lingfeng as his father and replace Han Zhizhi as the successor of the Han family.
Hearing these two conditions, Meng Chuanqing's heart was a lot colder, Mai Changfeng's move was even more ruthless, he was forcing himself to work hard, saying that he couldn't lose. Looking at the ever-changing alliance leader's mansion, he could only pray secretly.
No one knows what kind of catastrophe the Nong Qiuyin that Shu Yu is looking for is experiencing. This innocent girl suffered purgatory-like torture in Meng Chuanqing's room, and the boundless darkness terrified her, and she fled from the evil alliance lord's mansion in a hurry.
For ordinary people, blindness is an extremely painful and unacceptable thing, but for Nong Qiuyin, it seems that it is just a needle prick, and the pain is gone in an instant. She is a special woman, she doesn't hold grudges, and she can also afford to let go, perhaps because of her own heart. In frustration, she meets a great monk. Gao Xuan Buddha's worldly monks, cultivation is unfathomable, and a few words taught Nong Qiuyin to look at things with his heart.
Nong Qiuyin is a master! Everyone who has seen her perform her kung fu can't help but be a little surprised. Even if she is blind, she is still a master. So, those who want to trouble her basically don't end well. The daughter taught by the farmer and herdsman is by no means as innocent as she seems on the surface, and she is definitely a ruthless character when she fights. She will never be soft on the enemies who take the initiative to attack her, let alone have a trace of sympathy. Just in the morning, while eating breakfast at a noodle stall, two scoundrels tried to take advantage of her. After Nong Qiuyin was shocked, he punched left and right, and the two scoundrels were knocked away dozens of feet defenselessly, breaking the eyes of countless people.
When people are in trouble, there is always a constant flow of troubles. I wanted to return to the Alliance Leader's Mansion to find Shu Yu, but I didn't expect to go farther and farther. At noon, Nong Qiuyin came to the suburbs. The mountain roads in the suburbs are heavy, and the road is also bumpy, almost squatting.
Not far ahead, there is a tavern with a brand new sign wafting in the wind, proving that it is new. There wasn't a single customer in the store. The hostess lay comfortably in the sun on a chair in the doorway. In the distance, she saw Nong Qiuyin groping towards her.
"It's not easy to touch this side!" the proprietress muttered, looking at Nong Qiuyin with interest. Suddenly, there were eight more people in her sight, and eight strong men with big knives surrounded Nong Qiuyin.
"Who are you?" asked Nong Qiuyin, tilting his head sideways. The sensitive ears had already heard the footsteps of the eight people, and they were ready to take precautions as soon as possible.
"Big brother, are you sure this woman is blind?" one of the eight asked the man in red beside him softly.
"It was you! I remember your voice, the one I had knocked away in the morning. Nong Qiuyin heard the man's voice and smiled. She was just stating the facts, habitually with a smile on her face, which, however, in the eyes of others, was ridicule.
"Damn, dare to laugh at my brother! Brothers, capture her alive for me. It's over, brother, and I have a lot of rewards!" the man in red was obviously the boss of several people, and shouted with a knife. In the morning, the two brothers were beaten together, and they couldn't swallow this breath, so they gathered a few brothers to prepare for revenge. I didn't dare to show up until I followed it into the wilderness.
Hearing the boss's order, several people took knives and slashed at Nong Qiuyin. One of them didn't know the depth of Nong Qiuyin, and he was a little soft-hearted and didn't cut it down.
"What are you doing!" the man in red shouted as he glared at him.
"Boss, wouldn't it be a pity for such a beautiful woman to be hacked to death?" replied the man with a knife.
"You know what a fart!" the boss raised his palm to slap him, but before he could fall, he heard several screams, and his brothers fell to the ground.
Nong Qiuyin held the two knives he snatched from the other party, and with a little effort, he broke them in two. She slammed the broken knife to the ground, and one turned around, just facing the boss in red. The man in red only felt that the other party's eyes were brighter than those of the bright-eyed man, and he was stunned for a while.
"Boss, she's very good! she's not blind at all. The brothers stood up and shouted.
"Of course she's blind. It's just that her ears are very good and she knows how to hear the wind and distinguish the position. The red-clothed boss sneered.
"What then?"
"Haha... Lao Tzu was prepared!" He tore off the cloth bag around his waist, "You are a pretty good girl! I thought this thing was useless." ”
Bells! What he took out was a bell.
"Brothers, tie it around your wrist and see how she listens to the wind and identifies her position!" Eight people gathered Nong Qiuyin in a circle again and shook the bell in their hands.
"This little girl is in trouble!" the proprietress never left Nong Qiuyin's eyes. When she thought that Nong Qiuyin would be defeated, the accident happened again. I saw Nong Qiuyin dance with her arms open, clasped her hands in her hands, slowly moved to her temples, and spit out three words: "Mind Deterrence!" Then, everyone's movements stopped, looking at her stupidly.
Nong Qiuyin closed his eyes and ordered, "Throw away all your weapons and go home for dinner!" Everyone dropped the knives and bells in their hands and slowly left as if they had lost their souls. Nong Qiuyin put down her hand and smiled with satisfaction. Dealing with these three-legged cats, it is easy to control them with a mind deterrent technique, and it takes no mental power.
"Interesting. This little girl still has such skills!" the proprietress sighed lightly and shouted into the house, "Old Huang!"
A tall, thin old man walked out of the house quickly. "Go and bring the little girl over, and say I've taken her in. The proprietress pointed to Nong Qiuyin and instructed Lao Huang.
As soon as Shang Yuluo entered Suzhou City, he was targeted by the people of the Rich Merchants Alliance. Afraid of her identity and martial arts, they did not act rashly, but watched from afar.
Perhaps she was too focused on looking for Jiang Moning, Shang Yuluo didn't know that the danger was gradually approaching her, she took Jiang Moning's portrait, and asked more than a dozen people, but they all shook their heads and didn't know. Seeing that it was getting dark, he was about to go to the inn to stay, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a large number of men walking by the opposite street with a large sedan chair. Those men sprinkled fragrant rose petals on the sedan chair, and shouted "Xiyan" in their mouths, almost crazy.
Standing next to Shang Yuluo was a lady who sold jewelry, and when she saw this scene, she shook her head and sighed: "What a sin!"
Shang Yuluo asked curiously, "Who is in the sedan chair?"
"That's the girl from Tianxiang Guoselou, who came out to solicit customers. A group of vixens, who don't know how to be ashamed, are fascinated by those men, and they don't care about their homes. ”
Tianxiang National Color Building, the largest green building in Suzhou City, a gold cave that can be compared to the whole country, fragrant. No one knows who the owner of this building is, but no one who has been on the rivers and lakes for two days will not know this place. The best famous prostitutes in the country are gathered here, attracting countless merchants, children of Houmen, and more people who come and go. Since the person in the sedan chair is a girl there, it is reasonable to be so popular, but Shang Yuluo always feels a little uneasy.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the street, and the sedan curtain was suddenly opened, revealing a woman's charming smiling face. Shang Yuluo's eyes were so powerful, and he could see the face of the woman in the sedan chair clearly from a distance. She looked at the portrait in her hand, and finally overlapped with the woman in the sedan chair to become the same person.
Shang Yu fell on the spot and was stunned for a long time, then got into a clothing appraisal shop, and when he came out again, he had turned into a handsome boy with extraordinary bearing. went straight to the outside of the Tianxiang National Color Building, and couldn't help but look up at this desire floor that countless men were addicted to. The three-storey building, prosperous and endless, singing and dancing, lingering at night, trampled on how much tenderness.
As soon as she entered, she was dragged by a girl to sit down at the table, serving tea and wine, and behaving in an ambiguous manner. Shang Yuluo was disgusted for a while, took out a piece of silver, and said lightly: "Sit obediently, the silver is yours." ”
The girl took the silver and said with a smile: "Childe, look at what you said, am I not good?"
Shang Yuluo frowned when he saw her getting closer to him, and shouted in a low voice, "Sit down!" The girl was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sit up straight. Shang Yuluo said again: "I know that your line of work is difficult, but I am here to find someone, and I don't need someone to serve me, just sit obediently, and I will give you the silver." ”
Seeing that the girl was obedient, Shang Yuluo couldn't help laughing, and then asked her about Xiyan. The girl was reluctant to speak at first, until Shang Yuluo took out a valuable jade bracelet and said: "Xiyan voluntarily sold herself here two days ago, because she is versatile, both civil and military, so her mother assigned her to the National Color Building." ”
"Then do you know why she came here?" she could be sure that 'Xiyan' was Jiang Moning, and her eyes would not be mistaken, but she didn't understand why Jening had fallen here.
"I'm just an ordinary wine girl, how can I know so much. Anyway, today is the day of the election for "National Color", she will definitely participate, and you will be able to see her later, go ask for yourself!"
Shang Yuluo was surprised: "Tianxiang Country, is there still a grade here?"
Tianxiang Guoselou, which means Tianxiang and national color. The first floor is just an ordinary woman who accompanies the wine; the second floor 'Tianxiang' is a woman with excellent talents, and there will be a campaign every two years, and the winner will get the title of 'Tianxiang'; on the third floor, 'National Color', not only is it both talented and artistic, but also both civil and military, and its appearance is better than that of Mink. Once a year, the winner is awarded the title of 'National Color'.
Tonight is the day of the election of the Guoselou, and everyone in the Guoselou walks around the street to gather popularity and attract guests. Then come back here to compete, and the guest bids to determine the winner, and this winner is sure to be famous all over the world.
Shang Yuluo looked around, dozens of tables were full of guests, everyone was full of expectations, and she was surprised to see a few acquaintances. At the table in the middle of the hall, there were three people, both acquaintances and enemies. She wondered a little, how could the Nanshan brothers be with He Chaoyan? They were all enemies with her, and they didn't know each other at all, so they would sit together and drink at this time.
Seeing that there was no girl accompanying the wine around a few people, Shang Yuluo was sure that they were not here for fun at all, could it be the Avengers? She looked up at the Guose Building, maybe the object of their revenge was upstairs!
Soon, however, a steward announced the start of the campaign. After a burst of music and dancing, the hall fell silent. A woman with an extraordinary appearance and a bewitching dress slowly walked down from the upper floor. The people in the hall couldn't help but stand up, waving their hands, and shouting the names of the women. Shang Yuluo noticed that only the three people at the Nanshan brothers' table did not stand up, their faces were indifferent, and they didn't seem to be interested in those women.
"Xiyan!" suddenly a person shouted, and the three Nanshan brothers stood up abruptly and looked at the red-clothed beauty who was slowly walking down the stairs. Shang Yu looked at them in the air, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
That face was Jiang Moning's, yes, but that person was very different from the Jiang Moring she knew. A fiery red tulle can't hide her graceful figure, a light Luo fan can't stop her fiery red lips, smooth jade arms, and white legs, compared to the people in front of her, she looks more enchanting and charming, which suffocates countless men.
"Mo Ning, how could she become like this, how could she despise herself so much?" Shang Yuluo's heart was stabbed hard, and he couldn't understand how Jiang Mo Ning, who was once dressed in a tight suit, could change so much.
The second brother of the Nanshan brothers couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that this woman is so charming after changing her dress!"
This sentence was exchanged for a burst of his brother, "What do you think? This woman is our father-killing enemy, Shang Yu has fallen in the past, and we are still afraid of her." It's hard to wait for her to be singled, this time we must solve her!"
He Chaoyan's eyes were cold and said: "That's right! The revenge of killing my father is not shared." The three of us got acquainted for the same purpose, and if we don't kill the witch, we won't give up!"
A graceful woman came downstairs, and the crowd stopped cheering. The woman glanced at everyone and said, "Today is the day when our Tianxiang National Color Building is running for national color, thank you for coming." According to the old rules, the girls' competition was asked by the guests. In the end, the person who won the most silver taels was this year's national color. Thank you for your bother. ”
As he spoke, the girls behind him had already stood in a row, and when they counted carefully, there were more than thirty people. Their demeanor may be haughty, charming, or cold... Shang Yuluo noticed that Jiang Moning's face showed contempt, and she still looked down on the man who was looking for joy as before. What she didn't understand was that if Mo Ning fell here to avoid the pursuit of the Nanshan brothers, why would she be so public?
