Chapter 17: The Trap
Yang Yixiao held a horsewhip in his hand to urge the horse forward, and at this time dusk had arrived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the sun sets, the red clouds on the horizon are like fire, and the sunset is as gorgeous as a rainbow. The afterglow shone on Yang Yixiao's resolute face, the carriage left a long shadow on the ground, and the whip in his hand swirled in the air, as if he was preoccupied.
After Yang Xing made sure that Qi Chu was gone, he came to a painting, lifted the scroll, and the dark grid was exposed behind him, and he stretched out his hand to push the dark grid, and the wall next to him actually retreated to both sides, and a brightly lit road appeared in front of him. He sighed and walked in, his steps heavy, his heart heavier at this point.
At the end of the road was a secret room, Yang Xing knocked on the door of the secret room, and heard someone inside, "Come in." ”
Yang Xing pushed the door in, and there was a person in the room with his back to him.
I heard the man say, "It's all done?"
Yang Xing said: "Yes"
"Boy Streamer seems to have been fooled?" the man sneered
"Engong has already left for Yangzhou. ”
"Why do you still call him Engong now?" the man sounded a little unhappy
"He gave his life to save me, and I will never forget it. ”
"He was kind to you, and now he has taken your son as a disciple, but he never thought that you would harm him. The man scoffed
"I've done what you said, what else do you want?" Yang Xing said angrily
"Hehe, do you think you have the strength to negotiate terms with me?"
"You Nanzhao people are all despicable and shameless, and you forced Yan Daxia to abandon your martial arts fourteen years ago. Now I want to harm Engong again, if it weren't for my wife being poisoned by you, I wouldn't have listened to you!"
The man didn't care and said: "Your lady's poison can be solved by taking three more Soul Summoning Pills, this is one, and after you finish the remaining two things for me, I will give you the antidote." Saying that, he threw Yang Xing a pill, which must have been the Soul Conjuring Pill in his mouth.
Yang Xing was angry in his heart, but his wife's life was important, so he carefully put away the Soul Conjuring Pill and asked, "What's the second thing?"
"Are you in such a hurry to get the antidote? But I'm not in a hurry, the second thing will naturally inform you when I think about it, and now you can go back to the Meteor Chase Moon Pavilion to deliver the antidote. ”
Yang Xing knew that this person was vicious, and he couldn't wait to stay away from him as soon as possible, so he turned around and walked out of the secret room.
Yang Yixiao hurried to the city of Yangzhou when it was dark, and the majestic city of Yangzhou was even more simple and heavy under the night. The city gate was guarded by officers and soldiers, and if you wanted to enter the city, you had to go through a check. Suddenly, I heard an officer and soldier raise their voices and shout: "Hurry up in the back! The city gate will be closed soon." ”
At this time, Qi Chu's voice came from inside the car: "Yi Xiao, be sure to enter the city at the gate." ”
"Got it. "Yang Yixiao is introverted and doesn't like to talk. Hearing the sound, he jumped out of the car, pulled his horse and followed the procession into the city and moved slowly.
The four officers and soldiers at the door lazily checked the pedestrians, and Yang Yixiao used his skills, and his hearing suddenly improved several times.
I only heard one officer and soldier say: "Where are you going to be happy after finishing your work in a while?"
Another officer and soldier smiled: "Let's go to Zuichun Tower, Yanru is waiting for me." ”
One of the fat-headed officers and soldiers said: "Yes, yes, yes, I was too enjoyable last night, brothers, hurry up and go to Zuichun Building together after finishing work." ”
The Zuichun Building in their mouth is a famous brothel in Yangzhou, and the reason why it is famous is because it is very expensive. Ordinary people don't have the money to go to the drunken spring building to have a happy life. This janitorial job may seem like a chore, but it's not. At the end of the day, it is just a passer-by who squeezes into the city, and there is a lot of oil and water, otherwise where would they have the money to go to Zuichun Building?
From beginning to end, there was an officer and soldier with his back to the city gate, lazily closing his eyes, and not saying a word. He had a scar on his neck that looked like he was old.
An officer and soldier said: "It's almost over, but it doesn't seem to be much money collected today." ”
The fat-headed and big-eared officer and soldier said: "I saw the carriage behind, there should be a rich master inside, and I can't let him go easily for a while." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, it seems that they are lucky today, and they can still make a fortune before finishing work.
Yang Yixiao was disdainful in his heart: It seems that the carriage they are talking about should be us, and the mongrels who are greedy and pervert the law will look good in a while.
The officers and soldiers guarding the door quickly let passers-by, but stopped Yang Yixiao.
The fat-headed and big-eared officers and soldiers said, "Boy, what are you doing in the city?"
"Errands. Yang Yixiao's eyes were cold, and his body exuded an aura far beyond his age.
"Hehe, you kid has a lot of character! Dare to talk to the uncle like this, you are impatient. ”
Yang Yixiao glared at him fiercely, and the officer and soldier couldn't help but take a step back. The Ling Xiao sword behind him was a little unbearable, as if it was about to break out of its sheath.
"Brothers, come here, this kid is going to break through!" The fat man and soldier beckoned to the other two officers and soldiers, and the three of them drew their knives and looked at Yang Yixiao. One of them said: "Boy, if you dare to break into Yangzhou City, you will definitely be unable to eat and walk around." ”
Yang Yixiao said coldly: "It's my business whether I eat or not, good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way!"
The fat man said: "Believe it or not, I sue for the crime of obstructing official business." ”
Yang Yixiao said: "Whatever you want, you dare to sue, but the Yangzhou prefect may not dare to arrest you." ”
The fat man said: "Boy, where did you come from, you are so arrogant!"
Another added: "If you don't let us search the car today, don't think about it!"
Yang Yixiao hated the faces of these people very much, if he was in the territory of the Meteor Catching Moon Pavilion, he would have drawn his sword and cut off their hands and feet, but now it is the territory of Yangzhou, and the forces in this city are complicated, and he seems to have something on his mind. Just as he was hesitating, Shi Ziyu leaned out and said, "Big brothers, has something happened?"
Shi Ziyu is a person from the Passing Water Villa, not to mention in Yangzhou, even in the rivers and lakes. Even if this fat man is blind, he will not know the eldest lady of the Shi family, and when he saw Shi Ziyu, he scolded in his heart: Damn, today is really unlucky.
But he smiled and said, "I don't know that the eldest lady of the Shi family is here, and the little ones are offended." ”
Shi Ziyu said with a smile: "Where is this, the eldest brothers are also loyal. We're abrupt. As he spoke, he took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver and threw it to the fat man and said: "This whole day has been exposed to the wind and sun, and several eldest brothers have suffered for the safety of the people of Yangzhou. ”
The fat man held the silver and said with a smile: "Then I will thank the eldest lady of the Shi family for my brothers." With a wave of his hand, the other two officers and soldiers put away their knives and stepped aside.
Yang Yixiao led the horse into Yangzhou City, and at the moment when he passed by the scarred officers and soldiers, the man opened his eyes. Shi Ziyu saw a kind of heroic melancholy in his eyes, and immediately took off the hairpin and handed it to him, saying, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Passing Water Villa to find me." ”
The scar officer and soldier obviously didn't expect the dignified eldest lady of the Shi family to talk to him, and he was slightly surprised, but immediately said with a straight face: "The eldest lady has been promoted, and I can send someone to give a word to the place where I am useful in the future." He took the hairpin and continued to close his eyes and lean against the city wall, as if he had fallen asleep.
"Yu Yefeng is such a strange name. Shi Ziyu looked at the scar on his neck and wondered if he would also be a person with a story?
Fate is so wonderful that you never know who you'll meet in the next moment. Just like Lan Ting saw Qi Chu for the first time, how could he have thought that this man would become the most important person in his life at that moment? When Qi Chu found out that there was a girl among the people who assassinated him, how could he have thought that he would become friends with the eldest lady of the Shi family from now on? Shi Ziyu also couldn't imagine that when she heard the name Yu Yefeng, the heavens had already arranged everything for the rest of the world, just waiting for them to start a new story by themselves.
In fact, there is no need to be surprising, this is called not seeing each other for no reason, meeting everywhere.
Shi Ziyu asked Qi Chudao: "Is there such a person as Yu Yefeng on the rivers and lakes?"
Qi Chu said: "I have never heard of it. ”
Shi Ziyu said: "That's weird, why do I think that person is a bit unfathomable." ”
Yang Yixiao said as he walked: "It's just a person who doesn't like to talk, where is there anything unfathomable, do you have a delusion." ”
Shi Ziyu said: "You still talk about others, don't you say a word along the way." ”
Yang Yixiao said: "I'm afraid of the wind and flashing my tongue." ”
Shi Ziyu said with a smile: "I think you are afraid that you will not digest it after drinking the northwest wind, and you will fart in the end." ”
Yang Yixiao said: "You scold?"
Shi Ziyu said: "I didn't scold, I didn't scold. ”
"You!" If it is about bickering, where is Yang Yixiao her opponent. However, if Lan Ting was sober, he would definitely shoot back: "The one who scolded me is not a person, not only is it not a person, but she still doesn't admit it." ”
Yang Yixiao fell behind, always felt angry, and said: "Why did you give that dead fat man money just now, I don't like him." ”
Shi Ziyu said with a smile: "The most effective way to solve things in this world is to spend money. Do you want to solve it with your fists?"
Yang Yixiao said: "I have always spoken with strength. ”
Shi Ziyu said: "Little brother, you are still too young, and it is easy to break your feet." ”
"What do you mean?"
"If you are an official errand, you will go to jail tomorrow. But although I spent some money, the fat man thanked me so much, and the next time I met him, he wouldn't let me go obediently. ”
Yang Yixiao has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, and he is not good at the way of life. But Shi Ziyu is different, since the death of her mother, there is not even a maid in the Passing Water Villa except for her. She had to learn how to get along with a group of men at the age of six, and she was clever and clever, and she always played the whole mountain village around. After the age of twelve, Shi Yikun asked Shi Ziyu to follow the housekeeper. The Passing Water Villa can be described as a holy place of rivers and lakes, and the number of people who visit it every year is countless, and Shi Ziyu is afraid that the people he entertains are more than the rice that Yang Yixiao eats, and over time she knows this well. At the age of fifteen, she became the real housekeeper of the Passing Water Villa, not only taking care of the whole villa, but also the various businesses run by the Shi family must also be watched by her.
Yang Yixiao felt justified when she heard what she said, but he was young and vigorous, and he was still unconvinced. was thinking about how to find Shi Ziyu's fault, when he suddenly heard a desolate sound of music in the distance.
