The boat sailed back to the dock under the stone bridge, Xiaoqing was still asleep, and Wu Ming carried her ashore.

At this moment, the night was deep, and only Bai Suzhen, dressed in white, was left on the shore, and Xu Xian and Ning Caichen were nowhere to be found.

Wu Ming secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't expect to go out for a spin and be slipped away by Ning Caichen.

Carrying Xiaoqing to Bai Suzhen, Wu Ming was slightly embarrassed: "I accompanied Xiaoqing to take a boat just now, but I didn't expect her to fall asleep." ”

Bai Suzhen looked at the sleeping Xiaoqing, shook her head and sighed slightly.

"You are the Wu Gongzi that Xiaoqing said, Qing'er, she is a little reckless, which makes Gongzi bother. ”

Wu Ming smiled and shook his head: "It's okay." ”

Bai Suzhen glanced at Wu Ming carefully: "Since Gongzi once dispelled the righteousness in her body for Qing'er, then we should know that we are not ordinary people." ”

Wu Ming sighed and nodded.

"Childe is an open-minded person, and he has no intention of discriminating against me and Qing'er, and the little girl is here to thank you. ”

Bai Suzhen was slightly blessed: "Qing'er and I live in Zhenjiang Mansion just to repay our kindness, and we will never harm anyone. ”

"That's nature. Wu Ming nodded.

Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, as brilliant as a mountain full of flowers: "The little woman thanked her son again." ”

Walking slowly to Wu Ming, Bai Suzhen raised her hand and gently flicked Xiaoqing's head: "Qing'er, it's time to wake up." ”

Xiaoqing sighed and opened her sleepy eyes: "Sister...... Are you going to sleep, I'm going to sleep with you today......"

Bai Suzhen's face was slightly red, and she reached out and pinched Xiaoqing's face: "I'm still talking in my dreams, wake up quickly." ”

This time, Bai Suzhen used some strength, Xiaoqing screamed, and immediately came to her senses.

Landing on Wu Ming's back, Xiaoqing looked around: "Where did Xu Xian and Ning Caichen go?"

"Xu Gongzi went back to the security hall, and Ning Gongzi also took a boat back to Jinshan Temple. Bai Suzhen stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiaoqing: "It's time for us to go home too." ”

Knowing Ning Caichen's whereabouts, Wu Ming's heart settled down a lot, and he raised his hand and said goodbye to Qingbai: "There are still some things in the future, so I will leave here." ”

"Childe walks slowly. Bai Suzhen returned the salute with a smile, and then watched Wu Ming leave.

Xiaoqing on the side yawned: "Go home and sleep, I'm so sleepy." ”

Bai Suzhen sighed: "Qing'er, although this Wu Gongzi's cultivation is not high, it gives me a feeling of unfathomability, and he has a heroic and righteous spirit, you still have to be careful." ”

"I've soaked in the hot springs together, what's so unfathomable...... Xiao Qing muttered, and then stretched: "Go home, it's so cold!"

......

After Wu Ming said goodbye to Bai Qing and the others, he walked quickly along the canal, looking for Ning Caichen's traces.

At this moment, there are still a large number of people watching the lanterns on both sides of the strait, Wu Ming walked forward in the crowded crowd, and soon saw a flat boat in front of him, and there was a person standing in the bow of the boat, vaguely Ning Caichen.

Finally found you!

Wu Ming's feet accelerated again, like a swimming fish interspersed back and forth in the crowd, constantly narrowing the distance between him and the small boat.

Just as he was chasing at full speed, the waterway in front of the canal suddenly widened, and a lake appeared, and the small boat sailed straight into the lake and headed towards the center of the lake.

Wu Ming hurried to the end of the street, but only saw the small boat carrying Ning Caichen to a brightly lit painting boat in the center of the lake, and there was no movement after that.

Wu Ming smacked his lips and turned his head to look at a passer-by on the side: "Uncle, may I ask where the painting boat in the middle of the lake goes?"

The passer-by looked up at the brightly lit painting boat in the middle of the lake, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"That's the Rucui Painting Boat, it's a good place, it's just too expensive, ordinary people can't afford it!"

Wu Ming was a little inexplicable: "What is the place to go in the Rucui Painting Boat?"

The uncle laughed twice, with a tacit expression on his face, which reminded Wu Ming of the old driver who drove the taxi.

"It's a place to drink flower wine, you don't look like a rich person, I advise you to go back and study hard, if you can be named on the gold list in the future, maybe you will have the opportunity to go to that boat to have fun!"

It turned out to be a green building!

Wu Ming stretched out his hand and touched his chin, this Ning Caichen can, live in the holy land of Buddhism, flirt with Bai Suzhen, and patronize Fireworks Willow Lane!

"In order to find out the whereabouts of Nuwa Stone, it is necessary to go to this Rucui painting boat to have a look......"

Wu Ming looked at the lights on the lake, nodded and muttered to himself.

Walking to the small pier on the side, Wu Ming found a small boat, and said to the boatman that after going to the Zhucui painting boat, the boatman laughed twice, and without saying much, he pushed the boat off the shore and went straight to the painting boat in the middle of the lake.

As the boat approached, Wu Ming found that the boat was much more magnificent than what he saw on the shore, with a four-story building dozens of meters high, and a string of red lights hung everywhere on it, reflecting the surrounding lake in red.

When the boat reached the foot of the boat, you could already hear the sound of laughter and frolic coming from the boat, and when you looked up, you could already see some figures in the window.

Whether it is a wealthy royal official or a well-informed literati, they have changed their faces on this isolated painting boat in the middle of the lake, releasing themselves without scruples, drinking and having fun.

There was a side door on the side of the boat at the front of the boat, and the boat stopped in front of the door, and the servants on the boat welcomed Wu Ming onto the boat, and immediately an old bustard with heavy makeup came forward.

"Childe, the slave family looks a little raw at you, it's the first time you've come to Rucuifang, right?"

Wu Ming estimated that he couldn't fool the old fritter in front of him, so he simply nodded and admitted.

The old bustard grinned a few times: "Childe, do you want to listen to music or drink wine, or find a girl to talk to you~"

Wu Ming smacked his lips, a little embarrassed for a while.

You can't say that you came to Qinglou to find a man!

It's really inconvenient to find someone in Qinglou, but those two ghosts were left by Wu Ming to be Xiaoqian's bodyguards, otherwise it would just come in handy.

"Take me inside first. Wu Ming plans to go to the painting boat to see the situation first, and if he is lucky, he may be able to meet Ning Caichen directly.

The old bustard grinned and led the way in front of him, leading Wu Ming into the painting boat, and the two of them escalated the ladder, and the old bustard's mouth was like a machine gun and kept talking.

"The first time the son came to Rucuifang, the slave family will introduce you to you, we are one of the best music fields in the south of the Yangtze River, more than 100 girls on the boat are all beautiful as flowers, silk and bamboo pipe music is all fine, and the poetry is endowed with pen and ink Danqing, which is also difficult for our girls. ”

Wu Ming sighed, it seems that this line of work is not easy, it requires all-round development of morality, intellect and physique, no wonder Xiaoqian was not welcomed in Lanruo Temple back then.

"The wine on our ship is our daughter Hong, which has been cellared for 30 years, and it may not be drunk even in the capital. The more the old bustard said, the more proud he became: "Our Oiran Jinniang is even more famous, I don't know how many princes and nobles have traveled thousands of miles to see her~"

Wu Ming didn't want to continue to listen to the bustard's sales, so he interrupted her: "I have a friend surnamed Ning who is a frequent visitor here, he dresses up as a scholar on weekdays, I don't know if he came today?"
