"Man, sometimes you have to rely on yourself. Cao Anhua said to Xiao Lanzi, "Okay, you can also retreat." ”

"Yes. Xiao Lanzi also tiptoed back. When the footsteps were far away, I could only hear an indiscernible sigh in the room.

There is a saying: I only relied on myself along the way, and it was miserable in the deep palace. Du Yan said that the public authority of the factory was heavy, and he turned around and saw only a sigh.

Outside Hangzhou at midnight, there is also a bit of gloomy atmosphere. "Lao Xiao, what do you say those rich businessmen and magnates in Hangzhou think. It's so far away and it's desolate, what is the picture of the Water Moon Pavilion? While climbing the mountain, Xuewu turned his head and said to Xiao Qingtan.

"You joke with them now, don't wait there for a while, you can't leave. In the Water Moon Pavilion, I can't think about it, and I'm happy. Xiao Qing Tan said without a glance.

"Heh, I'm from above, what kind of big scene have I never seen above? Will I be fascinated by a Water Moon Pavilion? Hearing Xiao Qingtan's words, Xuewu also pursed his lips and said unhappily.

"Come on, my lord, let's go. I'm still counting on experiencing the life of a powerful person in the Water Moon Pavilion. Xiao Qingtan ignored him, but simply brought the conversation over.

So far, there is no word all the way, and after crossing several layers of dense forest, you will see a small land temple. It has never been repaired, and it stands there half-collapsed.

"It can't be this. Xuewu squinted at the mess in front of him and said.

"I guess that's it. Xiao Qingtan took the fan in his hand and picked the withered grass in front of the temple, "Go a little further." ”

Xue Wuye nodded, and followed Xiao Qingtan towards the Land Temple.

Before he reached the land temple, a crisp voice sounded: "The moon in the water, you can't get it." What do you want when you come here?"

"The moon in the water, you can pick it. I'm here for my own reasons. Xiao Qingtan also corrected Li Feng's password.

After Xiao Qingtan finished speaking, a woman in her twenties had already walked out of the Land Temple. The woman was dressed in a white skirt, and the surrounding environment looked a little cold. A pretty face smiled at the two of them, and then gently saluted, not all of his hair was tied up and fluttered at will with the action of the salute, showing a bit of fairy spirit.

"A few of them don't look like regular customers. The woman said with a faint smile as she got up.

"We were introduced by friends. Xiao Qingtan also shook the fan lightly to show a bit of bookishness, and then handed the invitation that had been prepared to the woman.

The woman took the letter of introduction and flipped through it briefly. When he saw the name of the introducer, his eyes couldn't help shrinking, and then he naturally turned around and said, "Since everything is complete, please come with me." ”

However, this simple action did not escape the eyes of Xiao Qingtan and the others, the two made a brief eye contact, and then followed the woman in white in. The land temple is still chaotic, and there is no other hole in the sky as the two imagined.

While the two of them were stunned, the woman had already said crisply, "Come here." The two of them turned their gaze and saw a hole in the back of the statue of a half-man.

"Please, both. After the woman finished speaking, she jumped into the cave. Seeing this, Xiao Qingtan and Xue Wu also hurriedly jumped down. Then there is a long section of the road, and there are no lighting items in the whole process, but the two of them are also people who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they can see at night, but they will not bump into each other.

Xiao Qingtan secretly pondered, "I think we already know our true identity, otherwise how could we let the guests go such a way." If you want to come to other customers, there must be another channel. I'm interested in what kind of formation we're going to have down there. ’

"The two of you met carefully, walked a little further ahead, and we were there. The woman's voice rang out coldly again.

Xiao Qing and Tan didn't answer and continued to walk like this, and then the small hole continued to widen, and the front was also bright. After walking out, there is a special cave, the first thing that catches the eyes of the two is a slightly elegant pavilion, and the pavilion is written as the Pavilion of Inviting Immortals. In the hall, a man with a mustache was turning his abacus, which didn't seem to fit well with the pavilion. Behind the pavilion there is a river that is not very wide but not narrow, and there is no bridge over the river, but there are three or four small boats. There were no men on the boat, but there were a few young women dressed plainly.

"We're here. The man with the abacus also stopped what he was doing and spoke.

"Well, Shopkeeper He, these two are guests from heaven. The woman in white said with a smile.

Shopkeeper He touched his eight characters, and said quietly: "Oh? ”

"That's nature. The woman in white smiled again.

"We are a class of laymen, how can they come to heaven and come to the name of visitors. Xiao Qingtan also smiled.

"Come to me to invite the immortal pavilion to the immortal family, and the guests from the sky are naturally worthy of it. Peony took them inside for a walk. Shopkeeper He also pointed to the plaque on it with his hand and said.

"The one who can be the shopkeeper of the Water Moon Pavilion is really a person with eight faces. Xiao Qingtan continued to answer. Shopkeeper He didn't reply, smiled and acquiesced. After the woman in white over there answered the sentence, she went to the river and called a light boat to come over. The three of them got on the boat and finished at both ends, and the rowing girl pushed off the shore with a bamboo pole, and it was only half a minute to reach the opposite shore.

"I say, Peony girl. Aren't you building a bridge more than rowing this one?" said the first to jump off the boat.

"Guests, you're the first to be so puzzled. Peony didn't answer directly, but said.

"They're pretending to be elegant, but they're pretending to be crazy when they don't put it in place. Blood didn't touch his lips.

Peony was also stunned by his words, and then covered her mouth and smiled. Xiao Qingtan also smiled when he heard this, and shook his head.

In fact, when I stepped on the shore, I already saw the buildings here, all of which were gray tiles and white walls, far less gorgeous than those in Hangzhou. But it is quite atmospheric, not as graceful as the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. There is only one door in the middle to enter and exit, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a door than an archway. The three words of Shuiyue Pavilion were pressed on it.

When I walked to the door, I found six men in gray suits standing on both sides of the door, with an inexplicable solemnity. Xiao Qingtan pretended to glance at it casually, and said secretly in his heart: "These are all practitioners, so they are used to watch the door." It seems that the water in this Water Moon Pavilion is a bit deep. ’

Naturally, there will be no other problems with peony leading the way. Entering the door, it was another scene, each with a large number of pavilions. Peony led the two into a nearby house, and when they entered, they found that it was a relatively empty hall.

"It's just a gambling house. Bloody said softly.

"Haha. Peony smiled, "You can talk about it here, don't be beaten when you get inside." ”

"Where, I still know the rules very well. Xuewu also smiled.

Although it is a gambling house inside, it is not too noisy, and the other is the same as the gambling house outside, both in terms of furnishings and gameplay. Xiao Qingtan and the others knew that these were all rich businessmen and magnates, so they were not surprised by the various treasures on those gambling tables.

"You don't like to play with this, so you go inside. Peony said and led the two of them inside, "This is Chunfeng Lane." ”

"Brothel?" asked Xuewu, looking at the rooms that were clearly separated from the upper floors.

"Guest, you're not wrong to say that. However, the sisters in this Spring Breeze Alley are all selling their arts, not their bodies. Peony was also the only one who frowned and said.

"The people who come here are either rich or expensive, can the girls here be able to keep it?" Xiao Qingtan shook his fan and said.

"If you can have the ability, you can naturally have a spring breeze, but in our Water Moon Pavilion, the king has to be counted separately. Peony also spoke without any fluctuations, as if these things were very ordinary.

"Is there a second way to succeed in Wang Fa?" Xiao Qingtan also asked.

"That's because you haven't been to our Water Moon Pavilion, although we are not a fairyland on earth, we are also self-contained. We've got the final say here. Peony also looked at Xiao Qingtan with a smile.

"Okay, listen to Peony talk about the rules, I am willing, but I don't know if I can get Peony Your spring breeze is once. ”

Peony didn't change her face, just like someone who had nothing to do, "I'm also a person in the Water Moon Pavilion, so it's naturally okay, but that also depends on your own ability." ”

"Hahaha, my skills? Xiao Qingtan smiled a little ruffian.

"Heh, Peony also wants to talk to you. Peony said with a little cunning on her face.

"Gain, and do not delay your good deeds. I'm going to check out the high-end casino above. Xuewu also knew that Xiao Qingtan had his own opinions, so he found an excuse and walked away.

"Then come with me, guest. After Peony finished speaking, he walked upstairs to the side, and Xiao Qingtan followed with a smile.

"I don't know how that kid was chosen, but the people behind him will definitely not cooperate with his uncle, because that is the backbone left by that person, and there will never be a transfer. In the imperial study, the emperor said after listening to Cao Anhua's report.

"Yes, the heir of that person will not be bad. Cao Anhua said.

"Heir, what news have you found in Dongchang?" said the emperor on the dragon chair, propping himself up.

"The slave just listened to his subordinates say that Fang Xiao played a good fan with one hand. Cao Anhua also replied.

"The Easy Fan is more my favorite than his sword. The emperor also smiled and said, "But didn't Fang Liangping not want his child to go to the rivers and lakes? It turns out that some things can't be stopped, just like ambition." ”

Cao Anhua understood this sentence, and the emperor was basically persuaded. I was also busy kneeling down and presenting the folds in my sleeves. "The old slave is dead. ”

"What are you doing here?" said the emperor as he glanced at Cao Anhua, who was kneeling below.

"The old slave has committed the crime of defrauding the king and concealed a major matter. Cao Anhua knelt and said.

"You have been with me for so long, then you can speak up, and I will forgive you for your innocence. The emperor glanced at Cao Anhua with an expressionless face.

"The slave didn't dare to say," Cao Anhua continued to kneel.

"Oh?" Zhu Jianji stood up and walked to Cao Anhua, picked up the fold in his hand, looked at it briefly, and then threw the fold heavily on the ground, "It's just presumptuous!" I don't know if I'm talking about Cao Anhua or the contents of the excerpt.

"The old slave deserves death. Cao Anhua also knelt and continued.

"Keep an eye on him, and then ask the Imperial Horse Warden to raise the guards in the palace a little more. Zhu Jianji turned his back and said angrily.

"The old slave obeyed. Cao Anhua also said.

"Also, I hope my subordinates aren't too smart, do you understand?" Zhu Jianji said gloomily again.

"The old slave understood. Cao Anhua was also taken aback, and then replied.

"Alright, get out. After Zhu Jianji finished speaking, he didn't care about him. Cao Anhua also said goodbye and went out to arrange. But after Cao Anhua walked out of the imperial study, Zhu Jianji had a smile on his face.

Xiao Qingtan followed the peony into a courtyard house nested in a corner, and then entered a wing room on its left, the furnishings in the room were already quite elegant. Peony walked to the guqin in the room, paused and said, "It's boring to sit idly, why don't I play the piano for you." ”

"The peony girl playing the piano must be a fairy song in the world. Xiao Qingtan smiled and made a gesture of please.

Peony bowed slightly, and her face couldn't help but look more delicate. Fingers flipped a song, "Guangling San" flowed out of the fingertips of the peony. After a while, Xiao Qingtan clapped his hands lightly and said, "What a song with such a heavy killing aura of Guanglingsan." ”

"Come to think of it, Xiao Zhutou still likes familiar things. Peony turned her fingers away from the piano and said, "It seems that I am wrong. ”

"Peony girl, don't think that the people who come out of the six doors are rough people, I like to be vassals and elegant. Xiao Qingtan said with a smile when he heard this.

"It seems that Xiao Zhutou has seen it very thoroughly. Peony sat up straight and said.

Xiao Qingtan raised her eyebrows: "I'm here to have a spring supper with the girl." ”

Peony didn't even look at Xiao Qingtan's pretending to be frivolous, "The Xiao Qingtan I know is not such a frivolous person." ”

"The rumors have never been true, just like those merchants and magnates in your Water Moon Pavilion, who are not well-dressed outside. I'm just a masked man. Xiao Qingtan loosened his body and looked even more scoundrel.

"Why should Xiao Zhutou pretend to be like when I brought you in. Peony shook her head lightly and said.

"Can't you treat me like a normal guest?" Xiao Qingtan got up and walked around the room.

"Aren't you surprised at all?" said Peony as she looked at Xiao Qingtan, who was becoming more and more unscrupulous.

"What's strange? Do you know my identity?Or are you these powerful and wealthy businessmen who are having fun here?" Xiao Qingtan turned his head and asked, "What I came here to investigate, you should already know, but I don't expect you to tell me honestly." ”

"Then why did you bother to make this trip?" asked Peony.

"I'm just a chic guest who came to the Water Moon Pavilion today. Xiao Qingtan swayed from side to side.

"You can't find out about it. Peony said.

"Is that what you mean or what the people above you mean. Hearing this, Xiao Qingtan also turned around, stared at Peony with his eyes and asked.

Although Peony has experienced countless things, she is only a girl who has not left the cabinet, and her cheeks are red when she is stared at by him, and she said: "You don't care who you mean, but this is a fact." It's not interesting to look it up. ”

Xiao Qing Tan's eyes cleared up and said: "There is nothing in the world that can't be investigated, and I like to do what I know I can't do." ”
