Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sunny Horse and the Moon Deer

It wasn't until Qingma left the hall that Wei Qingxiao and Ye Jinyi's gaze retracted from below. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"He's the boss of the Other Shore Pavilion?" Wei Qing asked with a smile.

"He's just one of them. ā€

"Oh?" Wei Qing smiled at the hand holding the wine glass, and looked up at Ye Jinyi.

"There are four bosses in the other side of the pavilion, Qingma, Yuelu, Huoshe, and Shuiyin. The four of them perform their own duties, Yuelu is in charge of the bounty hunter's business, Huoshe and Shuiyin are in charge of buying out all the news on the rivers and lakes, and the Qingma just now is in charge of the dance, music, wine and food of the other side of the pavilion, so as to maintain the connection with all walks of life. ā€

"What about their master?" Wei Qing asked with a smile.

"How do you know that there are people behind them?" Ye Jinyi said with a light smile.

"As you said, each of them has its own talents, each with its own duties. If there is no one behind him who controls the overall situation, I am afraid that this pavilion on the other side would have been divided a long time ago, how did he come to be the first pavilion in the world. Wei Qing smiled and rubbed his fingers on the wine glass, thoughtful.

"Perhaps. Ye Jinyi smiled, raised his hand to pick up the wine cup, and took a sip.

"This son is delicate and meticulous. As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a man came over from the curtain next to him, and his voice was gentle and familiar.

Wei Qing smiled and looked up, and saw that the person who came was Qingma who was talking to someone in the hall on the first floor, so he stood up and arched his hand: "Boss Qingma, look up for a long time." ā€

Qingma returned the salute, looked at Wei Qing from head to toe and smiled, and then smiled: "It turned out to be the palace master of the Plum Palace, Qingma has been looking up for a long time." ā€

Wei Qing smiled and raised his hand to invite Qingma to sit down, and asked, "Boss Qingma's eyesight is extraordinary. ā€

"It's just that I've been in this Fengyue Field for a long time, and I have the ability to see people, and I am an extraordinary person like the palace master. Haruma laughed.

Qingma looked sideways at Ye Jinyi again, glanced at the wine glass in front of him, raised his hand and asked, "Isn't it the smell of the aftertaste of my son here?" ā€

In a short time, a maid brought a flask and carefully filled the night's brocade clothes, but the wine was red.

"This peach wine is made from grapes and sugar, without koji. If Childe is afraid of getting drunk, this peach wine is the best. Qingma picked up the flask and poured a full glass for Wei Qingxiao.

"Sweet. The two of them took a shallow sip and said the same word.

"Haha. Qingma couldn't help but smile when he saw the reaction of the two people, and looked sideways at Ye Jinyi, "Childe can taste sweet, that's good." ā€

It is good to taste the sweetness of the suffering in the world.

Wei Qing smiled when he heard this, but he was secretly observing Ye Jinyi's reaction.

Ye Jinyi put down the cup, his face was the same as usual, and asked, "I don't know if the two bosses of the fire house and the water introduction are there?"

When Qingma heard this, he said with a sad face: "Brother Huo She and Brother Shui Yin went to investigate two cases, and I am afraid that they will not be able to come back in a few days." ā€

"Why is it that now the two bosses have also made a living in the business of arresting heads and investigating cases. Wei Qing smiled and said this, but he was a little puzzled.

"The status of the Pavilion is like that of the rivers and lakes, and if there is a case that cannot be solved, there are naturally people who ask the Pavilion for help. Haruma stood up, leaned against the railing, and watched the movement below before turning back and said, "However, this time the two brothers went out in person because the two cases were extremely difficult. ā€

His gaze was fixed on Ye Jinyi, who seemed to feel this gaze, and also looked up at Qingma, as if he had captured some information. After a while, Ye Jinyi frowned tightly, lowered his head and drank to himself, his face was not good.

Wei Qingxiao was about to open his mouth to ask something, when the sound of music sounded downstairs, and the people below began to make noise, and some people even shouted directly: "Wine girl, wine girl." ā€

Wei Qingxiao also held the wine glass, looked downstairs with interest, raised her eyebrows and said, "Wine girl?"

Qingma looked downstairs and smiled, then sat back next to Wei Qingxiao and Ye Jinyi and said, "Jiu'er is the number one dancer in my other pavilion, and most of the people below are here to watch Jiu'er dance." ā€

The headlights in the hall of the Pavilion on the other side suddenly went out, and it became a little dim, and the night brocade clothes were unguarded, and he accidentally spilled the peach wine in his hand, and the wine was sweet and greasy on his hand, making him uncomfortable.

At the same time, some candles were lit around, candles were lit on the side of the platform in the middle of the hall, the crystal curtain was also red, and the white gauze tent slowly hung down, which had a unique charm.

At this time, the shouting of the audience stopped, and everyone sat quietly, watching the situation in the center of the stage with bated breath. It seems that the wine girl in everyone's mouth is a wonderful fairy who is about to fall from the sky. Even Wei Qingxiao supported his chin, waiting for the woman to appear.

Only Qingma saw Ye Jinyi's condition at this time, got up and said, "I asked the maid to prepare some hot water in the guest room, so that the son can clean his hands." ā€

"It's fine. Ye Jinyi also stood up, looked at Wei Qing who was looking at him intently and smiled, "I'll come when I go." ā€

Walking into the guest room, a basin of hot water has been prepared and placed on the table.

Ye Jinyi walked straight over, put her hand in the hot water, and carefully washed off the wine stains on it. Haruma followed suit, and after stepping into the room, he made sure that no one was around before closing the door.

"Childe should be here for the affairs of Cliff Villa. Haruma pulled a clean handkerchief from the side, leaned on the table, and asked next to Ye Jinyi.

"Owner Haruma is smart. Ye Jinyi straightened up, gently shook off the water stains on his hands in the basin, and then took the handkerchief in Qingma's hand and carefully wiped his hands.

"The fire house went to investigate the matter, and the result must be soon. ā€

"It's a case, yes, I don't know there are other cases. Ye Jinyi threw the handkerchief in his hand into the basin of water, turned around, and looked at Haruma with cold eyes.

"What's going on, Shui Yin will personally investigate?" Ye Jinyi asked coldly.

Qingma's face was hesitant, he stood a little cramped, looked at the window flower and didn't answer, and after a long time, Ye Jinyi saw his lips squirm a few times.

For some reason, the faintly audible sound of silk and bamboo in the hall outside suddenly stopped, and was replaced by a loud noise that upset people.

The water in the basin on the table was still steaming, and the cloth floated on the water, and in a short time it was soaked in the water and sank into the basin obediently.

"Bang dang. ā€

The basin was knocked over on the ground, and all the water in it spilled and flowed on the ground, and some of it splashed on the corners of the night brocade clothes, leaving dots of water stains.

The air grew heavier and heavier, as if it had been frozen.

Ye Jinyi was quiet for a long time, and the anger on his face was hidden, but it was only hidden, but it did not subside. The things that affected his judgment and thoughts were always hidden in the deepest part of his heart, undiscovered.

He lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves, he exhaled deeply, only to raise his head, with a warm smile on his face again, he walked to the door, and said coldly: "Go and see what's going on outside." ā€

People have been wearing camouflage for a long time, and they are afraid that they will not be able to distinguish what is a mask and what is the real self.

Haruma glanced at the water that had been knocked over on the ground, shook his head, and walked out of the room with Ye Jinyi.

Something seemed to be going on in the hall, and the guests who had just been waiting for the wine to come out of the hall all stepped aside in fear, and a few people in exotic costumes stood in the middle of the hall, staring at the people on the stage with swords rather domineeringly.

There are two people standing on the stage now, Wei Qingxiao and a woman in green wearing a veil, it seems that there is something arguing, Wei Qingxiao protects the woman in green behind him.

"It looks like someone is trying to make trouble. Haruma took a general look at the situation below, but he didn't plan to deal with it immediately, just hugged his arms and continued to observe the situation.

Chang'an is located at the head of Guanzhong, people from all walks of life come and go, such a place is often mixed, is the fastest circulation of information, is the fastest circulation of goods, and naturally will be the fastest circulation of all kinds of people.

Haruma had seen a lot of things like this, and he didn't find it strange at all.

Ye Jinyi glanced down and saw the woman in green wearing a veil, and suddenly felt familiar, only to realize that she was the girl who lent her a bamboo umbrella on the day of the competition, and thought that she was the dancing girl in Qingma's mouth.

It's too much of a coincidence. Ye Jinyi sneered in his heart.

"Boy, do you know where your grandfather and I came from? One of the troublemakers rested his broadsword on his shoulder and spoke proudly.

Wei Qingxiao shook the bone fan in his hand, and smiled: "Grandpa, I really don't know where your grandson came from?"

"Who are you talking about?" Hearing this, several of the entourage next to the man pointed their swords at Wei Qing and smiled.

The man in the brocade robe at the head didn't seem to care, and laughed twice and said, "I'm from Xuanhua Mansion." ā€

"Xuanhua Mansion, isn't that from Western Xia?"

"But no, over the years, our Great Song Dynasty doesn't know how many coins have been sent to Western Xia and Daliao every year. ā€

"We can't afford to mess with us. ā€

When the onlookers in the pavilion heard this, they couldn't help whispering on the side.

When Ye Jinyi heard this, her eyes tightened, but Wang Xu's face appeared in her mind for some reason. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the Tangut people below with some danger.

"Can the Tangut people bully weak women?" A low word suddenly came from the private room opposite Ye Jinyi and Qing Ma, causing the people below to echo each other.

When Haruma heard this, the corners of his mouth began to twitch, as if he had heard something terrible.

"Besides, Jiu'er is the dancing girl of my other pavilion, and my Yuelu has a problem with protecting the inside. Another sentence came out of the private room, and as soon as people heard it, they knew that this was the Yuelu boss of the other side of the pavilion.

"Could it be that the other side pavilion still wants to provoke us Xixia?" the Xixia people roared at the people in the private room with their thick necks.

"Don't dare. We, on the other side, have always been courteous. "Yuelu Road.

"Squeak. The door to the chamber opened.

Out of the private room came a maid holding a plate, and the maid walked slowly downstairs to the front of the table, and then raised her hand to remove the veil from the plate.

"Yikes. When the people around me saw the contents on the plate, they were all embarrassed.

On that plate, it was clearly a hundred golden ingots of gold.

"Since this boss is so knowledgeable about current affairs, I don't feel sorry for this girl. Then the Tangut man was going to go and get the gold.

Yuelu spoke again: "Your Excellency is from Western Xia, I'm afraid you don't know that my other side pavilion has a rule of paying for hunters' heads. This hundred ingots of gold should be the head of a few distinguished guests. ā€

Hearing this, the Xixia man's face became extremely embarrassed, and he held the big knife a little harder, as if there was nowhere to vent his sudden outburst of anger. Suddenly, he swung his big knife and slashed at the maid who was serving the plate in front of him.

"Poof. ā€

"Yikes!" exclaimed the people around him.

The Xixia man looked at the tip of the sword piercing his body in front of him, his eyes widened in disbelief, and the blood from the corner of his mouth kept flowing down, dripping on the clean floor in front of him.

And Wei Qingxiao, who was blocking the wine in front of him, also looked behind him incredulously, as if he wanted to stop something.

Qingma on the pavilion looked at the sudden situation below, and also frowned and muttered: "Impulse is the devil, impulse is the devil." ā€

With that, Haruma walked towards the private room where Tsukika was, rolling up his sleeves as he went. His steps were very great, and his face was very bad.

"Poof. ā€

There was another sound of a sword slicing through flesh, and the sword was drawn from the back of the Western Xia man.

The Tangut man turned around with all his might, first seeing a white-robed man wearing a mask on his left face holding a bloody sword in his hand and looking at him calmly, and then he saw his attendants all lying in a pool of blood. He pointed to the night brocade in front of him incredulously, and opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something.

"The people of Western Xia are not very good, but the sword is good, and it is just right to kill pigs. Ye Jinyi admired the sword in his hand that had been snatched from the hand of the Western Xia entourage, turned his head to look at the Western Xia man and smiled.

Before the big man could say anything, he spurted out another mouthful of blood, and fell straight backwards, keeping his eyes open from beginning to end.

The maid walked down the steps with the gold, walked to the night brocade clothes, and said respectfully, "These hundred ingots of gold belong to the son." ā€

"This gold is for the amusement of all of you. ā€

Ye Jinyi said coldly, and dropped the sword in his hand expressionlessly, bypassing everyone and walking back.
