Chapter 3: The Journey of Heroes
Yihongyuan is a small and inconspicuous brothel in Jinling City.
Just as there is a restaurant called Drunken Immortal Lou almost everywhere, there seems to be a brothel called Yihongyuan in every city in the whole world.
In this Yihong Courtyard in Jinling City, there are a few good-looking girls, and the wine is also sold cheaply, so there are many old customers.
"Woooooo Suddenly there was a sound of dogs barking in the courtyard, followed by the giggling laughter of the benefactors and the girls.
"Good dog, good dog, call me twice more. A young man in his twenties was lying on a wide rattan chair on all fours, wearing a short coat of a small man, and in his arms he was holding a girl who was not very beautiful, crying pear blossoms and rain, but in his hand he held a folding fan that was extremely incommensurate with his identity.
A folding fan with red sandalwood as the handle, silk as the face, gold inlaid with jade, and glass pendant.
He tapped the head of the man kneeling beside him with this extremely precious folding fan.
It was a noble son, dressed in the clothes of the noble Su brocade, and his hair was tied back with a beautiful ribbon.
But now the precious Su Jin fell to his knees in the dust and knelt in the mud.
The noble boy knelt beside the young man like a dog, crying snot and tears, and his face was full of tears and mud.
"Hero, hero, I don't dare, I won't dare next time. Please, let me go. ”
The young man gently tapped the noble son with the handle of the fan, and said with a smile in his mouth: "When will the dog be able to speak human words?"
This knocked the noble prince to the ground, he lay in the dust, could no longer suppress it, and cried loudly.
The young man picked up a grape from his plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and spit the grape skin on the noble prince's head with a puff. "Phew, what a coward, the master didn't cut your finger or anything. ”
"Come on, the master has had enough fun today, you kneel down, kowtow to this girl three times, say three words that you are wrong, and I will let you go. ”
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!" When the noble prince heard this, he hurriedly got up, and he couldn't stop crying, and slammed his head three times at the girl in the young man's arms.
". The young man lay on the chaise longue, not even looking at him, and the folding fan in his hand shook slightly.
The noble prince stood up with a roll, ran outward, and tripped once, which made everyone in the courtyard laugh even more.
"Wait!" cried the young man in a low voice.
The noble prince suddenly stopped, not daring to move again.
"Master, the last thing I can see is the person who beats a woman, if you let me know that you do it again, be careful of your dog's head!" The young man snorted coldly, and with a movement in his hand, the folding fan turned into a streamer and flew out, grazing the shoulders of the noble son, only to hear a bang, this folding fan was inserted into a pillar in the court, and the small folding fan entered without roots.
The noble prince nodded again and again, and did not wait for the young man to speak again, turned around and fled.
"Ouch, uncle, as soon as you leave, Yu Gongzi will definitely come back to take revenge, how can I do this yard!"
The young man touched his chin, "Oh, yes, it's cool to teach that beast a lesson." ”
The girl also cried in his arms, "Ask the uncle to help, if the uncle goes, the slave family will only die." ”
"Oh, yes, I'm just on the road, where do I think so much, if I really think so much, won't I be like that bastard of Yu Xiaoyao!" the young man scolded.
"Okay, you're a worm in the wind, you're actually scolding me behind your back. With a burst of laughter, a man jumped from the roof, a full three stories high, and the man fell like a feather into the courtyard. "You're not going to kill people, you're going to be a turtle slave again?"
It was Yu Xiaoyao who came.
"Hey, I love to be my turtle slave, can you take care of it. The young man said.
"If I don't care about you, who will clean up the mess you left behind?" said Yu Xiaoyao.
"Grandpa, I just don't care about killing or burying, I can control her for a while, and I can't control her for a while, I don't have the ability, and I can't blame others for dying. "The wind is so atmospheric.
Yu Xiaoyao shook his head, ignored him, took out a sign from his arms, a silver ingot, and handed it to the old bustard, "This brand is the brand of Qingwangfu, if he dares to come again, show him the brand, he will not dare to come." Redeem this girl with this silver, and let her go. ”
"Uncle!" the girl knelt on the ground and cried, "If I leave this yard, where will I go?
"Look, that's why I don't want to be a hero like you, do you care about it or not?"
Yu Xiaoyao took out another ingot of silver, bent down and gently placed it in front of the girl.
"Let's go. ”
"There are so many poor people in the world, how many can you help?"
"If you can help as many as you can, you can help a few. ”
"Like this girl today, you don't follow her all the time, you can help her this time, so what about next time?"
"I can help as many times as I can. ”
Feng Lilong shook his head, "You guy, you're so tired!"
"Then why did you help her?" asked Yu Yao.
"The master just can't get used to men who beat women, I'm not helping her, I'm just unhappy. "Feng Lilong is full of wine," I call it happy and happy, there is wine today, drunk today, who cares about right and wrong behind him, drink." ”
"Hahahaha. Yu Xiaoyao couldn't help laughing, "Well said, drink!"
The wine is bad wine, and the money has always been able to buy two large jars, and Feng Lilong still thinks that the old man in the tavern sells it too expensive, but the two of them are still you and I have a cup, and they are not happy to drink.
Drinking, not wine, but people.
If the person is right, it doesn't matter what kind of wine you drink.
"Tell me, what's the trouble with you coming to me this time?"
"Tang Qi fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei. Yu Xiaoyao put down the wine bowl.
"Even if he falls into the hands of Tang Men and is cramped and skinned, it has nothing to do with me. "The wind is full of wine again," full of wine. If you have to save him, don't count me in. ”
"Jinyi Wei Yang Tianci found me and made a condition. ”
"On what terms?"
"Find the Golden Knife Old Sixth and the Jade Butterfly Cup. ”
Feng Lilong's hand pouring wine stopped in mid-air, and the wine in the jar filled the bowl and overflowed from the bowl.
"Oh, that's a pity. Feng Lilong screamed a pity, and casually threw aside the wine jar that was still half a jar of wine, and the wine jar suddenly shattered, and the wine inside flowed out and soaked the ground.
"You won't help me with this?"
"Is it the dead Golden Knife Sixth?"
"Yes. ”
"Is it the Jade Butterfly Cup that has been lost for more than 30 years?"
"Yes. ”
"Then you can't drink this wine. ”
"Why?" asked Yu Yao.
"I'm your friend after drinking, and I have to do these ridiculous things with you, to find someone who has been dead for more than thirty years and a cup that has been lost for more than thirty years? Feng Lilong said.
"Good. Yu Xiaoyao raised her head and drank the wine in the bowl.
"Okay?" Feng Lilong's eyes narrowed.
"I shouldn't have come to you. Yu Xiaoyao said, "This matter is too dangerous and ridiculous. ”
"But you know a friend who is a killer, and who else can help you but me. Feng Lilong said.
Yu Xiaoyao was silent.
Feng Lilong picked up the wine bowl and raised his head to drink the wine in the bowl. "Good. He said.
"Okay?" Yu Yaoyao looked at him.
"Who made me such a friend as you. Feng Lilong laughed and said, "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son!"
Yu Xiaoyao laughed out loud, tears in his eyes. He lifted the jar, and the wine poured down his throat and sprinkled on his face.
"Wine!" Yu Xiaoyao handed the wine jar to Feng Lilong. Feng Lilong did the same, and drank all the wine in the altar in one go.
"Liuhe Dao has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and this matter is still full of chasing after the wind, and there is not even half credible news. Feng Lilong said.
"Liuhe Dao is an assassination organization, as a killer, you haven't heard any rumors?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.
Feng Lilong touched his bare chin, thought about it and thought about it, and then said hesitantly: "There are a few things recently, which are indeed a little strange, but they may not be related to the Liuhe Knife. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.
"Just last month, Jin Yiwei suddenly went out to search for killers with surnames on the rivers and lakes, and there were a few hundred households who came to arrest me, but unfortunately their skills were commonplace, and they all told me to throw them into the river to feed the fish. I was annoyed by being chased, so I hid in the green building to enjoy the purity, who would have thought that my natural hard work would be found out by you before I hid for a few days. Feng Lilong shook his head and sighed.
"This may have something to do with Yang Tianci's desire to capture the Golden Knife Sixth. What about the second one?"
"Have you ever heard of Mei Shangxue?" asked Feng Lilong.
"There is no shadow of flowers in the wind, and there is no trace of snow on the plum. Is it the killer organization that kills people invisibly, like the snow on the plum, and there is no trace of the killer organization on the snow?"
"Yes, if it is said that the Liuhe Knife has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, the first to make a move is the current top killer organization Mei Shangxue, after all, it is also a top killer organization, and the threat of the Liuhe Knife to Mei Shangxue is too great. ”
Yu Xiaoyao nodded, "Exactly." ”
Coincidentally, at the same time as the rumors of the reappearance of the Liuhe knife on the rivers and lakes just appeared, Mei Shangxue also issued a plum post to many killers who worked alone. ”
"Plum Tea?"
Feng Lilong took out a plain white post from his arms, and on the post, a tree of proud snow and white plums was drawn. Other than that, there is not a single word.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Yu in confusion.
"There are two kinds of plum posts, red plum posts and white plum posts. The red plum post takes people's lives, and if you receive this post, you will definitely die within three days. ”
"No accidents?"
"Xueshangmei never misses. Feng Lilong said solemnly.
"What about the white plum post?"
"It's a fundraising post, which means that your strength can join Xueshangmei. ”
"Oh, it's that simple?" Yu Xiaoyao was a little surprised.
"Simple?" Feng Lilong smiled, "If you receive a white plum post, within two months, if you refuse to join the snow plum, you will receive a red plum post." ”
"Then Xue Shangmei is so rampant?" Yu Xiaoyao frowned.
"It's so rampant. Feng Lilong nodded, "I think in a few days, my plum post will be in two months." ”
"Then you're not afraid?"
"What's so scary?" Feng Lilong smiled, "I've always wanted to see how powerful Mei Shangxue really is." ”
"Then since there is a precedent for this matter, what's so strange?" Yu Xiaoyao said.
"The strange thing is that Baimei posts used to be issued only once a year at most, but this time dozens of them were issued in one go. ”
"Something unusual is a demon, there must be something hidden behind Mei Shangxue's abnormal behavior. Yu Xiaoyao groaned.
"But no one knows what happened, perhaps, this matter will have something to do with the Liuhe Knife?"
"Let's go and see. Yu Xiaoyao smiled.
"How to get there? We don't even know where Mei Shangxue is. ”
Yu Xiaoyao smiled silently and pointed to the plum post in his hand.
"Oh, you mean?" Feng Lilong's eyes suddenly lit up, "Hahahaha, it's interesting." ”
Suddenly, there was a burnt smell in the wind.
"Oh no, Yihong Courtyard is out of water!
Someone shouted in the street.
Yu Xiaoyao and Feng Lilong glanced at each other, stood up, and hurried towards Yihong Courtyard with light skills.
I saw that Yu Gongzi, who ran away after being taught a lesson by Feng Lilong, changed his clothes, followed behind a young man in a bullfighting suit, brought many brocade guards, and stood in front of the burning courtyard with his waist crossed. The old bustard was lying on the ground in front of him, his clothes were torn to pieces, but the girls from Yihong Courtyard were missing. In the burning Yihong courtyard, there were terrible roars and wails.
Yu Xiaoyao and Feng Lilong landed in front of the young man and looked at him coldly.
"Cousin, that's the man. Yu Gongzi pointed at Feng Lilong and shouted loudly.
The young man in the bullfighting suit waved his hand: "Come on, take down these two thieves who set fire to me!"
"Hahahaha!" Feng Lilong laughed angrily, and with a touch of his palm on his waist, a soft sword appeared in his hand. "Remember, grandchildren, murderer, wind away from the dragon!"
The fire is still crackling and burning.
But the people who set the fire are already dead.
Lying on the street were the corpses of Jinyiwei.
Two headless bodies knelt in front of the burned-out brothel, and the two heads were laid upright on the ground.
Just like the sacrifice on the altar.
But the murderer has gone far.
Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles.
Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name.
The old bustard looked at the two bodies kneeling in front of him, and suddenly burst out laughing.
She stood up with a smile, picked up the two heads left and right, turned around, and threw herself into the still burning flames.
