Chapter 25: The Gray Line of the Grass Snake (II)
In the middle of the night, the gentle song in the hall on the first floor of the incense building also stopped.
The guests in the hall also gradually hugged the girl into the inner room, and there was only one guest left in the hall, who was still unsatisfied, accompanied by a full house of red candles, splashing ink, and five or six beautiful young girls clapping beside him.
In the elegant suite on the second floor, Hai Canglan, who had just recovered from a serious injury in the outer room, had fallen asleep. In the inner room, Yuan Xiaoyi had already woken up.
The warm room was warm, and I slept very comfortably, and when I woke up, I felt that the fatigue of the past two days had dissipated.
Yuan Xiaoyi got up and came to the dressing table in the inner room, picked up the hair comb, combed the green silk, looked at her delicate face in the bronze mirror, smiled lightly, she picked up the fragrant fat powder in front of the mirror, applied it lightly on her cheeks, and tapped her lips, secretly happy.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the originally quiet downstairs hall, as if the table was overturned and the wine was spilled, the cups were broken, and then the sound of the girls running.
Yuan Xiaoyi was startled, hurriedly got up, came to the window, pushed the window and looked into the hall......
A large table in the hall was overturned, melons, fruits and drinks were scattered, and several young girls in colorful clothes hurriedly fled to the inner hall.
Only one man was left at the overturned table.
There was a bit of anger on his face, and he still held a pen in his right hand, and he approached the ground with an unfinished splash of ink, which seemed to have rolled off the table and spread on the wine-stained floor.
As soon as Yuan Xiaoyi pushed the window, the man's eyes slowly shifted from the painting on the ground to Yuan Xiaoyi's delicate face in front of the upstairs window.
The anger in his eyes slowly disappeared, and he looked at Yuan Xiaoyi, a scorching light gradually rose in his eyes.
He is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and his ordinary appearance is just the sharpness and stubbornness in his eyes, which makes people unforgettable at a glance.
This person, Yuan Xiaoyi has seen, he is the martial arts test meeting during the day, he was very perfunctory, and finally lost to Yue Linsheng's Haihe faction disciple, Qin Yingzhao.
The brothel bustard who came to Qin Yingzhao when he heard the sound came to Qin Yingzhao's approach, and asked with a smile: "Where did our girl serve badly, provoke the hero to make such a big fire, I will teach them a good lesson in a while, don't be angry, hero, don't be angry......"
As he spoke, a few handymen had cleaned up the mess. Qin Yingzhao didn't look at her either, he still looked at Yuan Xiaoyi with straight eyes, and slowly said to the old bustard, "I want the girl upstairs to accompany me." ”
The old bustard looked at him, glanced at it, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Hero, you can have any girl you want, but the girl upstairs is not our Xiangxiang Building, but a guest who came in in the evening." ”
When Qin Yingzhao heard her say this, his face sank at first, and then his face was full of joy.
But in a moment, his face turned a little fierce again, and he grabbed the old bustard's shirt and shouted, "Let me ask you, the son of the Yue family, can Yue Linsheng be here with you?"
"This ...... This ......" the old bustard stammered for a moment, refusing to answer.
The corners of Qin Yingzhao's mouth twitched, and he sneered: "Which room is he in? If you don't say it, now, I'll screw your head off!"
The old bustard was so frightened that his face immediately changed, and he gasped and said, "Don't, don't, hero, I said, I said, he is in the first room on the east side of the second floor, the first girl is like smoke." ”
Qin Yingzhao threw the old bustard away and strode towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
The old bustard was thrown by him, hit the chair next to him, and felt that his waist bone was shattered, and he yelled at the handyman next to him: "It's not fast...... Hurry up and report to the Yue Mansion, and say that the son-in-law is in trouble, go and ......."
One of the little bustards helped the old bustard to get up, and the other of the little maids hurriedly rushed out of the door to report the news......
Yuan Xiaoyi saw the shock downstairs and learned that the people from the Yue family were also in this building, so he hurriedly closed the window.
Qin Yingzhao came to the first guest room on the east side of the second floor, and when he pushed the door, the door creaked open, and it turned out to be unlocked.
He strode across the hall and headed for the inner room.
The inner room is filled with cigarette smoke, and a carved screen painted with mandarin ducks is in front of the door. On the soft couch behind the screen, a pair of young men and women spread out their clothes, like glue, and they were completely unaware that someone had broken in.
The man on this couch is the eldest son of the Yue family, Yue Linsheng.
As soon as Qin Yingzhao saw him, anger immediately surged above his head, and he swung his big fist and hit the screen in front of him, and the entire screen immediately turned into pieces.
The two of them on the couch suddenly realized that the woman hurriedly hid in the quilt, and she didn't even dare to poke her head out.
Yue Linsheng forced himself to be calm, took care of his nightgown a few times, jumped off the couch barefoot, and when he saw that it was Qin Yingzhao, he suddenly smiled a little contemptuously: "What kind of person should I be, it turns out that I am just a defeated general, and I actually dare to come to the Immersion Incense Building to disturb the happiness of my son!"
As he spoke, he had grabbed his iron fan with big characters written on it from the couch, and it seemed that as long as he had this fan in his hand, he would be full of courage and confidence.
"Hmph, your subordinates are defeated, do you really think I can't beat you?" Qin Yingzhao sneered.
Before the words fell, he had already clenched his fists, took a leap, and hit Yue Linsheng in the face with a heavy fist.
Yue Linsheng waved the iron fan, wanting to cut off Qin Yingzhao's wrist, but unfortunately when he got closer, he found that Qin Yingzhao's punch was empty, and before he could face it, he took it back, and then kicked Yue Linsheng's hand with his left foot towards Yue Linsheng's hand holding the iron fan, and the iron fan fell to the ground instantly.
Yue Linsheng's face was full of panic, and he reached out to pick up the iron fan that fell to the ground, but he was grabbed by Qin Yingzhao, he punched him twice in front of him, and Yue Linsheng was already spitting blood from his mouth, and he sat on the ground, unable to get up again.
The surrounding tenants heard the fighting and hurriedly ran out of the guest room, but in a few moments, the guests on the second floor were almost gone.
Hai Canglan, who was awakened by the sound of fighting, pulled Yuan Xiaoyi and ran into the corridor outside the guest room, and the two of them crouched outside the door to listen to the conversation in the room.
"You...... Why did you suddenly become so powerful?" asked Yue Linsheng, who was sitting on the ground, in disbelief.
Qin Yingzhao sneered: "Haha...... Son-in-law, is it that the aroma of this incense building has smoked your head stupidly, and ...... Hmph, do you think that the big disciples of the Haihe Sect are really as useless as they were in today's martial arts trial? Do you think that with your flower fist and embroidered legs, you can really pass the first test and fight me?"
"Yue Qingyu is cunning and calculating, but he has a son like you, I don't know if I should be happy or sad?" Qin Yingzhao continued.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that I didn't pass the initial test with my strength, let alone defeat you with my strength? Could it be that my father bought the reputation for me with silver?" Yue Linsheng sat on the ground and muttered to himself with a look of astonishment.
"No...... No, I passed the first test with my own ability and defeated you, my father told my master that my iron fan skills have improved very quickly, and now I am also the best among my peers. My father told me that these are all my own efforts, you don't want to lie to me!" Yue Linsheng shook his head, and then comforted himself.
Qin Yingzhao's eyes suddenly lit up with anger, he picked up the Cloud Dragon Fist again, and suddenly struck in front of Yue Linsheng.
However, this punch did not really fall.
But Yue Linsheng, who was paralyzed on the edge of the couch, closed his eyes tightly and trembled.
Qin Yingzhao sneered.
Yue Linsheng opened his eyes and realized that Qin Yingzhao's punch didn't really mean to hit him, he just wanted to tease himself, but to let him know how useless he really was.
He leaned on the edge of the couch and suddenly smiled bitterly: "It turns out that I am really so useless." Hmph......"
After being silent for a long time, Yue Linsheng's face gradually became more indifferent, he seemed to have accepted the fact that he was useless, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and said to Qin Yingzhao with a little contempt: "I'm useless, I've been studying iron fan skills for ten years, but I'm still like this, and I still have to rely on my Yue's family's money to pave the way for me, buy some false names and come back, hum...... But what about you?"
"How much better can you be than me? Although your martial arts are better, but it's not for money, and you're willing to lose to me at the venue? Since it's just for money, what kind of hero is not conceited, and the right to make money is a good deal, how can you take the money, but you are so stingy, and you run to the Xiangxiang Building to find me to vent your anger? What is the difference between this and the unreasonable shrews in the market?" Yue Linsheng said coldly, the blood from the corner of his mouth dripping down his cheeks onto his white nightgown, adding a little bit of cold arrogance to see through the world.
Qin Yingzhao slapped Yue Linsheng in the face: "How come I, Qin, am also a famous disciple, do you think that just your family's stinky money can buy my reputation?"
Yue Linsheng didn't care, and then sneered: "Don't pretend to be so proud, in the martial arts trial field during the day, didn't my family's stinky money buy your reputation?"
Qin Yingzhao seemed to be even more angry, and grabbed Yue Linsheng's shirt with both hands and stood up with him: "You still dare to say it! It's all your treacherous and cunning father who designed to deceive me!"
Yue Linsheng's neck was tightly strangled by him, a little out of breath, his mouth opened wide, and he looked at him in a daze.
Qin Yingzhao gritted his teeth and his eyes were about to split: "He knows that in addition to practicing, I like calligraphy and painting very much, and calligraphy and painting are even more important to me than practice, so before I competed with you, he lied to me that as long as I let you win this competition, he would give me the long-lost treasure inkstone 'Chu Yuqing'." ”
Hai Canglan and Yuan Xiaoyi, who were eavesdropping outside the door, were shocked when they heard Chu Yuqing, and they glanced at each other, and they were even more sure that the person who killed Song Xunfeng was Yue Qingyu.
"People who are good at painting are not unimpressed by 'Chu Yuqing', so when I competed, I was perfunctory and deliberately lost to you, but you were self-righteous and contemptuous, I don't want to be famous, but I still have dignity, I can't tolerate an incompetent person like you arrogantly humiliating me in the venue, so I killed you. But I didn't succeed after all, and I still let you win after all. Qin Yingzhao continued.
"But Yue Qingyu wants to repay the debt on this ground, not only to let his son gain fame, but also to lose a treasure like 'Chu Yuqing', so that people will drive me out of the Yue family, and he also wants to kill people, you say, is he too greedy?" Qin Yingzhao's eyes glowed with a cold cold light, and he said quietly.
After saying that, he threw Yue Linsheng back to the ground again.
Yue Linsheng supported himself to get up, touched his red and swollen neck with his hand, and said to Qin Yingzhao, "What do you want?
Qin Yingzhao sneered: "A useless person like you, killing you will insult my boxing skills, and besides, it is better to leave Yue Qingyu to cause trouble for a son like you." Don't worry, I won't want your life, however, I won't let you live as well as before, I want to make Yue Qingyu feel distressed, I want him to look at his useless son, even if he spends more money, he can only embarrass the Yue family!"
As he spoke, Qin Yingzhao suddenly raised a fierce fist and hit Yue Linsheng's body......
At this time, suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor came, and Hai Canglan outside the door hurriedly pulled Yuan Xiaoyi to turn the corner of the house and enter a guest room next to him.
Before the person arrived, an iron fan had already shuttled through the door, the silver light flashed, Qin Yingzhao's fierce fist had been cut off, Qin Yingzhao screamed in pain, pushed open the window of the inner room, held the broken bleeding wrist in one hand and flipped directly from the second floor, and fled along the street, the night was dark, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye......
Immediately afterwards, it was Yue Linsheng's master who stepped into the door, Bai Chengchun, the master of the Iron Fan Gate, who stepped into the inner room in a few steps, helped Yue Linsheng up from the floor, and asked with concern: "Sheng'er, are you okay, Master is late." ”
Yue Linsheng's pale face that had just been frightened slowly recovered, but his face turned to sadness and silence, and he didn't answer Master's words, and sat down at the table.
At this time, Yue Qingyu ran in from outside the door, panting, sweating profusely, he had suffered internal injuries from fighting with Hai Canglan during the day, and at this moment he heard that his son had an accident, he was frightened, and he looked even more old and weak, he hurriedly ran over and said to Yue Linsheng: "Son, you scared your father to death, it's okay, in the future, in the future, you don't want to come to these places alone!"
Yue Linsheng slowly raised his head and glanced at Yue Qingyu, and sneered: "The child was able to pass the first test and win against Qin Yingzhao of the Haihe Sect, not because my kung fu was good, but because of my father's silver and tricks, right?"
When Yue Qingyu saw Yue Linsheng say this, he was first startled, and then said helplessly: "Linsheng, don't listen to those people's nonsense!"
Yue Linsheng also ignored his father anymore, and turned his head to look at Master Bai Chengchun: "Master, the apprentice is so useless, it's hard for you, these methods used by my father, Master also knows, right?"
Bai Chengchun sighed lightly and bowed his head silently.
"I just can't help Adou, father, why are you like this, if it's a false name like this, the child would rather not!" Yue Linsheng yelled at Yue Qingyu.
Yue Qingyu suddenly slapped his palm on the table and stood up: "You are the son of the Yue family, I can't tolerate you not to! I did this, not only for you, but also for our Yue family!"
"The richest man in our Yue family, inherited for a hundred years, is more expensive than the city lord's mansion of Mufeng Villa, the only thing lacking is the reputation in the rivers and lakes, I wanted to marry Mufeng Villa, and I can also glorify the court, I have broken my leg for the marriage between you and Miss Mu in recent years, but there is still no result, it is all you who are not good, lingering in the flower streets and willow alleys all day long, martial arts are sparse, how can Miss Mu family look at you!"
"When you were ten years old, I sent you to the Iron Fan Gate, you see what you have learned in the past ten years? How can you be worthy of the master who taught you carefully, how can you be worthy of your father's old bones who are running around for you all day, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Yue family!"
"Your grandfather wants you to study kung fu hard before he dies, so that my Yue family can have a pivotal place in the rivers and lakes in the future, you really have to live up to his entrustment! You dare to complain about me!" Yue Qingyu said angrily.
After saying that, his face was already flushed with anger, he flicked his sleeves angrily, and turned his back to Yue Linsheng.
Yue Linsheng smiled bitterly, lay on the table, and said no more.
Bai Chengchun was not easy to talk to, so he only hung his head and stood aside.
After a while, Bai Chengchun came to Yue Qingyu's side and comforted: "Brother Yue, don't be angry, Lin Sheng is still young, as long as you cheer up now, the future is limitless." Actually, it's also my fault for being a master, I haven't managed him well all these years, and I will discipline him strictly in the future, Linsheng is just greedy for fun, but his qualifications and understanding are the best among my apprentices, as long as he changes his ways and practices seriously in the future, he will be more productive than his brothers and sisters in a few years. ”
"Alas, Brother Bai doesn't have to excuse this naughty child, over the years, I have also worked hard for you, to say that there is no way to discipline, it is also my responsibility as a father. In the future, Brother Bai will need to worry more. Yue Qingyu sighed and said.
After saying that, Yue Qingyu suddenly turned around and asked Yue Linsheng on the table, "Is this ...... Is there anyone else in this room?"
Yue Linsheng raised his head, his face suddenly turned pale again, and he said tremblingly, "No...... Nobody......"
Yue Qingyu knew his son best, and he only needed to look at him to know if there was anyone else in this house.
Yue Qingyu glanced at Bai Chengchun, who immediately understood and strode towards the inner room.
Yue Linsheng suddenly stood up from the stool, hurriedly chased after him, and shouted while chasing: "I said it all, there is really no one left!"
On the couch in the inner room, the brocade was bulging and shaking.
With a wave of Bai Chengchun's iron fan, a blood mark was drawn on the brocade quilt in an instant, and the woman in the quilt died before she had time to shout.
Yue Linsheng grabbed his master's sleeve and cried: "Why, why are you so ruthless, you don't even let go of an innocent woman!"
Bai Chengchun turned his head and hugged Yue Linsheng's shoulder and said, "Sheng'er, today's incident is related to the reputation of the Yue family and my iron door, this woman must not stay, don't blame the master." In the future, you will know that your father and master are for your good. ”
At this time, Yue Qingyu in the outer room strode out of the door, came to the front of the porch, and said to the servants in the hall downstairs: "You all come up and escort the young master back to the house!"
After a short time, several servants dragged the expressionless Yue Linsheng downstairs, got into the carriage, and went straight to Yue's mansion.
Yue Qingyu stuffed a bag of silver to the old bustard who came upstairs, and said coldly: "Deal with this place, control the mouths of your guys, today's matter, not a word can be leaked, otherwise, you will be like the end of the one inside." ”
The old bustard glanced at the blood marks on the couch in the inner room, and immediately turned pale: "Master Yue, don't worry." Nothing happened today. ”
"Are there any guests in the room around here?" asked Yue Qingyu.
"No, no, there was a fight in this room just now, and the guests and girls ran away. The bustard said.
Yue Qingyu drove away the old bustard, walked out of the room, he passed by the guest room next to him, but suddenly stopped, he suddenly stretched out his hand to push open the door and stepped in.
Hai Canglan, who was hiding in the house, suddenly pulled Yuan Xiaoyi into the curtain on the side of the inner room, stretched out his hand to cover her mouth and nose, and held his breath.
Yue Qingyu took a few steps, and saw that not only was there no sound in the room, but he couldn't even feel the breath of breathing, so he didn't enter the inner room anymore, turned around and went downstairs.
After Yue Qingyu and Bai Chengchun left, Hai Canglan and Yuan Xiaoyi slipped out of the guest room, jumped from the second floor, jumped downstairs on the street, and ran into the vast night......
