Volume 1 Interrogation Chapter 50 The Monastery (1)
In the midst of everyone's boos, Qiushui followed Xu Yunshen outside.
They were standing in the hallway.
Xu Yunshen leaned on the railing and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I have the talent to smell the remnants of different people's breaths, so that I can tell the other person's past ...... over time," Qiushui replied.
Xu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and said, "So?" In his heart, he felt that Qiushui's talent seemed to have some special use.
"So-I know that Childe has just come down from the battlefield, so I want to ask Childe for something, but Childe has already gone out, and I don't know if I will come back, so I can only make this decision......" Qiushui is not as charming as he was just now, but very honest.
Xu Yunshen touched his head and said, "I'm not good-looking, I'm not very capable, what can I help you?"
"Childe don't be kidding...... Killed more than a hundred barbarians in a short period of time and still didn't get hurt, this is not a high ability?" Qiushui should have subconsciously agreed with Xu Yunshen's statement that he was not good-looking.
Xu Yunshen smiled and said, "What request?"
Qiushui was overjoyed, knowing that the matter was half done, and said leisurely at the moment: "I implore the son to redeem me and let me go to the border to join the army and serve the country, and the little girl will be rewarded!"
Xu Yunshen raised his eyebrows again, because Qiushui's request was really beyond his expectations, and he never thought that a daughter of Fengyue would have such a heroic feeling.
But also, the previous guqin song of "From the Army" can indeed be heard with superb skills and emotion.
But he still wanted to ask again, digging into the deeper things, so he said, "Why did you go to the border to join the army......? The character you show doesn't match. ”
Qiushui smiled miserably, her face was a little pale, the tears she had just shed had quietly disappeared, and she only heard her slowly spit out two words: "Revenge." ”
Xu Yunshen suddenly realized.
Perhaps only bitter hatred can make a woman give up a more stable life and do something that men are not willing to do.
Here I have to mention the geisha system of the Tang Dynasty. Geisha enjoy the same status as ordinary people, and even under the influence of long-term prosperity, their influence is slightly higher than that of ordinary people.
They mainly sell their art and services, and they also sell their bodies, which depends on their choice. Most of them retire at the age of twenty-eight or nine, and when they retire, they will be given a pension according to the geisha rank.
That's right, geisha still have exams every few years. They are: grass, orchid, jade, oiran, and large oiran.
Qiushui is currently at the Lan level, and after two years, there is still hope of being promoted to jade, and the pension is also quite generous, enough to support a rich dowry and marry a good family. Or use the money to run the industry and make money out of the money.
But she didn't want to.
Qiu Shui looked at Xu Yunshen like a blazing fire.
Xu Yun thought for a moment and said, "Why are you looking for me? As far as I know, there is a lot of traffic here, and you can see a lot of people every day, including many powerful and rich people, and they can help you." ”
"Ahem-" Qiushui coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, "You want to tell the truth?"
Xu Yunshen nodded suspiciously.
"Because...... Childe, you are still a virgin at an age, and your strength is not bad, and you can refuse temptation and remain unmoved. I should be a pure person, and I am not afraid that you will use this to coerce me. So he ...... "Qiushui made a sniffing gesture to indicate where her talent was.
Xu Yunshen touched his head in embarrassment, not knowing whether this was praise or depreciation, so he had to continue to say: "Okay, you can be regarded as convincing me." However, I can't afford to ransom you, or you wait a little longer. "The ransom for an orchid-level geisha is about seven hundred taels.
The burning light in Qiushui's eyes dimmed a little, but he still forced a smile and said, "It's okay, son, I'll wait a while." ”
She didn't know if it was an excuse or something, but everyone said so, and she could only answer like that.
But anyone who knows something about Xu Yunshen will know that this is not an excuse, he is really poor.
"Where's the talk? Why don't you speak?" it was Ram Min who came out.
He looked at the two of them, as if the atmosphere was a little heavy and stagnant, and he was a little puzzled. Originally, in his imagination, it should be a beautiful place, and then as soon as he came out, both sides looked at him shyly.
Xu Yun said this quickly, and he didn't care about Qiushui's eyes that were about to cry.
"It's easy to say this, I'll borrow you first! The ambition to serve the country must be supported, otherwise where will we have a stable life. But it's really unseemly. Ram Min was amazed, he had never seen that this woman, who was known for her charm and charm, could have such extraordinary courage.
Ram Min groped in his pocket, took out a pink bag, took out a stack of silver tickets from it, and counted seven of them and handed them to Xu Yunshen. Then patted Xu Yunshen on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the stairs, and went up to the third floor.
"He ......" Xu Yunshen took the silver ticket in his hand, a little dazed.
Seeing that there was hope for redemption, Qiushui was in a much more cheerful mood, and chuckled: "Yuxuan Gongzi must have gone to find Miss Qiyun, he didn't touch a girl just now, and he also knew that we would exchange news between us." ”
"No, I mean, the color of his purse...... But the children of the family are really rich, how do they make it? I have to go to school, this is much faster than farming. Xu Yunshen muttered.
Qiushui listened carefully to his words, and couldn't help admiring: "Childe is really hidden in the city. ”
It had already been drunk for three rounds, and Xu Yunshen couldn't fit in, so he simply stopped going in and retreated in advance.
By the way, Xu Yunshen went to redeem Qiushui.
Originally, Xu Yunshen planned to stuff her with dozens of taels as a coil, but he didn't expect that there were more than two hundred taels in the small box that Qiushui turned out, and asked him to silently take the money back in his pocket.
"Childe, I will definitely pay back the redemption money, and the beneficiaries of the dead are also going to fill in you, may the good people have a safe life. I also thank Yuxuan Gongzi on my behalf, and I will leave tomorrow. Qiushui has removed her makeup, and although it is still charming, it is no longer as conspicuous as before. She tugged deeply, her cuffs almost touching the ground.
The night sky is full of stars in summer.
Xu Yun took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Have a good journey, wait for you to take revenge and make contributions." ”
Qiushui nodded, smiling brightly, like the stars in the sky. Dressed in black, he quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Xu Yunshen sat on the shore of Tianxin Lake, looked up to heaven and said: "When is the time for retribution? Tang and Man, it is really endless." ”
The more time passes, the more people will be involved in the war between the Tang Dynasty and the barbarians and die, thus forming a messy hatred.
After sitting for a while, Xu Yunshen went back.
habitually walked into the bedroom, but saw a smaller figure whispering something next to Yuzhongge.
Xu Yunshen patted his head, forgetting that Ge Nan was here, and immediately apologized and smiled and planned to retreat.
"Wait. Yuzhongge spoke, and there was something wrong with his voice.
Xu Yunshen was puzzled: "Huh, what's the matter?"
"Is it fun to paint a boat?" Although Yu Zhongge's expression did not fluctuate, the great killing machine seemed to be approaching Xu Yunshen.
Xu Yunshen hesitated for a moment, his thoughts were running quickly, and he didn't know how the matter would be revealed, but no matter how hard he was, he was asking for his own trouble, so he said: "I just ate something and went out, and I didn't have fun with them." ”
Yu Zhongge nodded, and then raised his eyelids: "I heard...... You also ransomed a geisha?"
"What?" Xu Yunshen's eyes widened, and he didn't know how Yuzhongge knew.
He should still be in Qiyun, how can he have time to tell Yuzhongge. So what variables are you ignoring yourself?
Xu Yunshen subconsciously glanced at Ge Nanyu, but saw her looking at him with a narrow gaze.
Sure enough, it was her!
Xu Yunshen only remembered Ge Nanyu's other identity - the master of the natural gate.
Since he is the master of the door, there must be some people under him, maybe the information is inquired about by those people...... After all, there are many people in the painting boat. I don't have much experience with anti-tracking.
"What's the matter, you're still dumb?" Yu Zhongge gently pulled out the thin lady who was left as a souvenir when she was discharged from the army, and under the lamp, the blade flashed with a cold light.
Xu Yun swallowed deeply, although that thing couldn't hurt him, what was the matter with this inexplicable sense of danger?
So he immediately trayed out the matter of Qiushui, without the slightest reservation.
Hearing about Qiushui's tragic life and whereabouts after redemption, the knife in her hand was put down.
Sure enough, Yuzhong Song was still soft-hearted, Xu Yun stroked his chest and sighed.
"How much did you spend on the ransom?"
"Seven...... Seven hundred taels. ”
"How much can you make in a day?"
"I ...... I'm going to do more work. ”
It's really a live tracheitis.
Ge Nan rolled his eyes in vain, and put on an uninteresting look.
Is this Nizi targeting me, Xu Yunshen squinted at Ge Nanyu, revealing a dangerous aura.
Yuzhongge sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, for the sake of doing good deeds, let's take it over." You'll have to rest early, too, and you'll have to work. Hmm, why are you staring at my sister, trying to bully her?"
"No, no, I'm going to rest. Xu Yunshen hurriedly waved his hand.
Lying alone in the dark side room, Xu Yun pondered: This life, what's wrong?
The next day.
Xu Yunshen learned that he and Yuzhongge, as students of Wu Zijian, would be transferred to the practice academy under construction in the future.
This made him a little happy, because he heard that the main purpose of the newly built monastery was to include people from all walks of life and select the best to cultivate.
Thanks to the busy work of many practitioners, the construction of the monastery is progressing very quickly, and although it occupies a huge area, it can be completed by the end of July. Among them, the equipment provided by the Gewu Institute helped a lot.
Not only the two of them, but most of Wu Zijian's Class A, B and C, and most of Wen Zijian's will also be transferred to the cultivation institute. The rest will have to pass a certain level of testing before they can pass. The whole Tang Kingdom was also selecting outstanding disciples and rushed to Chang'an to practice in the academy.
This time, the court is gracious, not only the family, but also the local family, and the children of the royal family can participate. The crowd base has been further expanded, and civilians, people from the Kannai Taoist sect, and people from the Taoist world can all register for the entrance test of the monastery.
Once passed, you can stay in the ashram. And room and board are free of charge, and there are bonuses for those with excellent grades.
Time is like a wild dog, and soon it is the end of July.
