Chapter 165: West Lake Ring
In the thirty-fourth year of the Holy Sect of Southern Chu, the Great Wei in the north suddenly unilaterally tore up the peace treaty with Southern Chu, sent troops south to invade Wuzhou, and connected dozens of cities within half a month, approaching Shancheng Pass.
After Shancheng Pass, there is the famous Southern Chu Great Plain, and there is almost no barrier to the south for thousands of miles, and you can let people cross and horizontally.
The emperor of Southern Chu was unconscious, several princes argued, and state affairs were difficult.
In the face of such a situation, the peace negotiation faction led by Prime Minister Zhen Cheng had to make concessions, with the three princes as the leader, to rebuild the Privy Council and temporarily take charge of the military affairs of the imperial court.
The following month, the general Zhao Ping returned to the command of the Zhao family army and settled in Shanchengguan.
Dozens of miles south of Shanchengguan, there is a city, named Chenzhou.
There is a lake outside the city, named West Lake.
The West Lake is vast and endless, and it is an excellent place for literati and scholars to gather and feast.
At this time, it is noon, the water ripples on the lake are continuous, and several cruise ships are dotted on it alone.
The willows on the embankment are sandwiched between the banks, the green mountains in the distance are like daisies, although it has entered the late autumn, but there is no half of the color outside the city of Chenzhou.
Between the green willows, the courtyard of red and green looms, and the sound of women's laughter in the courtyard is endless.
On the top of the highest attic, Su Qiao'er put her hands on her cheeks and looked at the lake in the distance with a stunned expression.
"What are you doing?"
A large hand cut off her vision in front of her eyes, and her empty mind was withdrawn from her body.
"I love the lack of eastward travel of the lake, and the white sand embankment in the green poplar shade. There used to be so many people here, and business was so good, why did it become like this when it was our turn?"
Su Qiao'er rolled her eyes, leaned back, and lay on the bamboo chair behind her, while turning to look at the man next to her.
The man had a dark complexion, an ancient face, and only a pair of eyes flashed from time to time, with a sense of agility.
"What else do you want? There is a war going on not far ahead! The rich people have long run out! Didn't you already anticipate this when you came here?"
The man shook his head disdainfully, covered his waist again, and said, "Don't worry about my money anymore, my money has already been harmed by a few of you on the way here." ”
"Why are you like this! I saved your life, and I didn't even want to give anything outside of my body. ”
Su Qiao'er looked disdainful.
The man is none other than Sun En, who has been renamed Chen Ziang at this time.
Before March, Su Qiaoer hid Lin Muhua to save Chen Ziang, and after recuperating in the capital for a period of time, she was arranged to come here to listen to the situation on the front line.
There are many forces in the capital, and the forces of all parties are mixed with each other, as if an invisible whirlpool pulls people into it, and the deeper the limit, the more they cannot break free.
Even if you are a congenital real person, you must be cautious and follow the trend in the capital.
And leaving the capital, it is naturally the sky of Haikou, and you can travel.
Su Qiao'er received the secret order, and together with her group of good sisters, she followed the merchants arranged by Lin Muhua to Chenzhou.
And Chen Ziang should change his appearance, turn into a Jianghu Langzhong, and follow him all the way to this place.
Later, he was hired by Su Qiaoer as the steward of Huancai Pavilion on the grounds that he saw that he had a little kung fu.
That's right! Huancai Pavilion is a brothel, and Chen Ziang is the manager of the brothel, and Su Qiaoer is the grandmother of the brothel, one of the two is responsible for handling internal affairs, and the other is responsible for attracting business.
Two male thieves and female prostitutes opened a brothel here.
Of course, Huancai Pavilion is a brothel that sells its arts, and it does not sell itself, but the women in the pavilion can be ransomed by someone if they want to.
"You saved my life, but I seem to have spared you?"
Chen Ziang's face was cold, and as soon as he remembered the scene at that time, a nameless anger rushed straight to his head.
This little girl is too ruthless!
If you don't have the ability to change muscles and bones, it is estimated that you will not have the face to see people in the future!
"Can this be compared?
Su Qiao'er pouted, and her delicate figure swayed back and forth with the bamboo chair.
"Sister Qiao'er, someone is looking for Brother Chen!"
The sound of a yellow warbler coming out of the valley sounded outside the door, and a woman with a delicate face automatically appeared in front of Chen Ziang's eyes.
"I'll come. ”
In response, Chen Ziang turned his head back to Su Qiao'er and said, "Say it again, don't count on me, I really don't have any money!"
Along the way, at a glance are all people with a difficult life, this Su Qiao'er is a kind-hearted person, from time to time will pay money to help one or two, and when the money he brings is spent, he will ask Chen Ziang for it, even if it is ten thousand taels of gold, it is not enough for this good wealth woman to squander.
"Brother Chen!"
The green butterfly outside the door looked into the house curiously, and saw that the two of them were neatly dressed, so they couldn't help but pout.
This man and woman are entangled all day long, and they haven't done anything serious?
"Who's looking for me?"
"Boss Li of the grass shop in the city. ”
Green Butterfly is also from the capital, but she is originally from Wuzhou and was abducted to the capital, and this time she followed Su Qiaoer to see if she could find her relatives.
"What a coincidence!"
Chen Ziang was overjoyed and hurriedly ran outside.
Soon after, he went to the backyard with a brocade box from an old man.
There is a separate pharmacy in the backyard for Chan to prepare medicinal herbs.
was cleaning up, and the fragrance wafted behind him, and Su Qiaoer followed behind her.
"Have you collected all the herbs?"
"That's right!"
Chen Ziang nodded, and the movements in his hands continued, stacking the medicinal materials separately and blending them with each other.
"This is called leading?"
After half a ring, Su Qiaoer bent down and looked at the pair of powder in front of her.
"Don't get too close, you might inhale it into your stomach and it will be bad. ”
Gently pulling away the other party, Chen Ziang reminded carefully.
"Are you really going to take it again?"
Su Qiao'er took two steps back, crossed her hands in front of her, and leaned against the door frame and said curiously.
"Yes, it's been three months, and the antidote in my hand can only last for another three months, and if I can't find a way, I can only wait here to die!"
Chen Ziang nodded with an ugly face. In order to find the antidote, as well as to understand the specific impact of the drug attraction force on the human body, he actually wanted to rely on his perfect control of the physical body to find a solution from within.
"You're not going out, I won't look good when I wait!"
"Cut! I've seen you when you're at your worst, what's a pill?"
Su Qiao'er pursed her lips, and the words in her mouth made Chen Ziang's face even more ugly.
You didn't make me look like I was at that time!
"Whatever you want!"
Ignoring Su Qiao'er anymore, Chen Ziang moved a bench and put it in the middle of the room, poured a bunch of powder in his palm, and read solemnly: "There was once a recipe for an antidote in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it when I lost it! If God could give me a chance to do it all over again, I would definitely seize that opportunity and take a few sharp glances!"
After speaking, his eyes were glared, his hands were raised, and his mouth was opened, and the strange poison had been thrown into his abdomen.
"Uh, Sun...... That Chen Ziang, are you okay?"
Su Qiaoer, who was stunned by Chen Ziang's sensational lines, saw that Chen Ziang suddenly didn't move after taking the medicine, and couldn't help but step forward and ask in a whisper.
"Gollum ......"
Strings of white foam came out of her mouth, and the body on the stool trembled back and forth like a seizure, so frightened that Su Qiao'er suddenly pierced the house.
For a long time, the room was silent.
"Chen Ziang?"
Su Qiao'er called in a low voice outside, with a worry in her low voice.
"I ...... I'm fine!"
Chen Ziang's face was scorched, and he collapsed and moved out of the house leaning against the wall.
"I guessed right! the second time it didn't hurt, it just felt a little uncomfortable. ”
He grinned, and his smile was uglier than crying.
"What are you moving when you're like this? Sit down!"
Su Qiao'er anxiously helped him to sit down on the stool and let him gasp.
"Boss Xiu is right! There is no antidote to this poison. ”
After a long time, Chen Ziang opened his eyes.
"Once the medicinal power of the trigger enters the body, it will be tightly entangled with the human body and inseparable from each other! ”
"Did you find a solution then?"
"A few ideas!"
Chen Ziang nodded.
"Sister Qiao'er, someone is making trouble!"
The call of green butterflies sounded in the distance.
"Who is so bold! How dare you make trouble in my aunt's Huancai Pavilion!"
Su Qiao'er raised her eyebrows and was furious.
