Night finally fell.

Chang'an City is illuminated by rows of lanterns hanging high as if it were day.

In the east of the most prosperous city of the Great Wei Dynasty, there is a restaurant with a very luxurious decoration, which is called the Peony Pavilion.

It was a wonderful place, at least in the minds of most men in Chang'an City.

There is the best sake in Chang'an City, and there are also dazzling girls.

It was a green building.

It is also a place where countless dignitaries and dignitaries flock to it, and countless sons and literati are drunk with purple and gold.

As usual, there were many guests. Here they tore off the gentleness and elegance that they usually disguised on their faces, and began to cuddle the girls who were wrapped in heavy makeup and drank all day.

Liu Laobustard is already very old.

She has been in this Peony Pavilion for many years, or rather, she has spent her whole life here.

When she was young, like these smiling girls, she lived absurdly in the arms of passing drinkers.

When she was older, she lost her beauty, and she didn't wait for someone who was willing to redeem her.

She should have been sent to do some hard work, like most of these girls who had no guests. But fortunately, she has always done her duty, and she can speak well with a mouth. was valued by the owner's family, so he became a solicitor. Although she is not a serious student, she is already very content with those sisters who have to rely on physical strength to make a living even when they are old.

"Hey, Xiaolan, take good care of Gongzi Zhang!" she arranged a guest for a childe with a smile on her face, and did not forget to explain to his back.

Then she turned her head, the smile on her face gone, and looked worriedly at the closed door somewhere in the attic.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, since Ruyan was brought back by the pavilion master, she has been staying in the room, and she hasn't gone out for nearly ten days, even the food is sent in by some maids.

Although the pavilion master didn't say anything about this, he even cared for everyone to take good care of her. But Liu Laobustard reflected from her series that the person she was waiting for finally lost her.

Liu Laobustard also cursed the man fiercely in his heart for this, but what was the use?

She's just a fireworks, a bustard who makes a living. Even when I go out to buy some things, I am afraid of mentioning my identity to others, let alone sue a god general of the Great Wei for a woman from the same humble background? I am afraid that such a petition will not be handed over to the civil decision, and it will be beaten out by the guards guarding the door.

People like them have to learn to accept their fate and learn to survive.

This is the truth she has realized over the years, she doesn't know if it's right or not, but she survives by relying on this truth. And to survive, it's always good. At least in Liu Laobu's heart, she thinks so.

So she hopes that Ruyan can also learn this truth, at least it can keep her alive. Anyway, she grew up watching Ruyan, and she hopes she can live.

Click!

It was the sound of boots of some precious material tapping on the floor paved with precious marble slabs in the Peony Pavilion.

Liu Laobustard is just like this, and he judged that the identity of the person who came out was either rich or expensive. She squinted, a flattering smile on her face, and turned her head toward the door.

"This guest officer, why did you come, the girls are waiting for you," Liu Laobuxing said halfway through his words, and then stopped.

Because the man in front of him is very special.

He was slender, pale but handsome, and his lips were as red as blood.

And what surprised Liu Laobustard the most was that he was dressed in snow-white.

Snow-white robes, snow-white riding boots, snow-white hair crowns.

This kind of dress doesn't look like a boy who came to drink flower wine at all, but like a mourner who came to see someone off.

The man didn't pay any attention to Liu Laobustard's meaning, and he walked to the nearest empty seat and sat down.

Liu Laobu, who came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, still with a habitual smile on his face, and asked: "This guest officer, this is the first time to come, you sit down for a while, and I will ask the girls to come out and wait." ”

No matter how strange the person is, as long as he can get the money, he must be regarded as the emperor.

At this time, the iron law of the Peony Pavilion is also the rule that Long Xiangjun taught to everyone who has just come to the Peony Pavilion. Liu Laobuxing has lived for decades as a creed, and this time is naturally no exception.

"No, I don't. But the man waved his hand and said, "I want to see like smoke." ”

"Ruyan, she's now," Liu Laobustard stopped halfway through his words, and with Ruyan's current age and appearance, it had been a long time since any guests had asked her by name. Liu Laobuxing came back to her senses, she thought that this person was not a frequent visitor to Ruyan in the past, and wanted to come to her to talk about the old feelings? But with Ruyan's current state, she should not have the energy to deal with this. So she thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Oh, this guest officer is really not in a hurry, our family is like a smoke girl who is sick today, I'm afraid"

"I said, I want to see like smoke. The man's voice was not alarmed, and he couldn't hear the joy and sorrow, but with a chill, he interrupted Liu Laobustard's words in half of his words. Then he turned his head, took a silver ingot, and laid it on the table.

Liu Laobushi was stunned, not because of a full ingot of silver, but at this time she found that this man looked extremely familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

She began to become embarrassed, the man in front of her did not seem to be a master to be messed with, and she knew Ruyan's current state, she was afraid that Ruyan would not serve this man well and make this man unhappy, I am afraid that she would have to get into trouble, which is not what she wants to see. But the man's resolute attitude left her with little room for maneuver. Just at this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded.

"Yo, rare guest. A handsome man came slowly with a folding fan in his hand. He walked straight up to the man in white and said with a smile: "Isn't this my new dragon god general of the Great Wei Dynasty, Beitongxuan, the general of Peking University?

Long Xiangjun's words shocked Liu Laobu's heart, and she had to glance at the man in white again.

Beitongxuan!

She finally remembered that the man in front of her was Bei Tongxuan.

Ten years ago, the young man who was as kind as a spring breeze is now a butcher with bloody hands and a cold body around him. Two completely different temperaments appeared in the same person, and Liu Laobustard didn't sound for a while, but after listening to what Long Xiangjun said, he suddenly realized.

Bei Tongxuan was still unaware of Long Xiangjun's words. He lifted the tea on the table, poured himself a cup slowly, and then took a sip calmly. Again, he said, "Let her come out to me." ”

"She?, which she?" Long Xiangjun seemed to be puzzled, his eyes widened, and his lips opened slightly, "There are thousands of girls in my Peony Pavilion, I don't know which one she is that General Peking wants to see?"

When he spoke, he deliberately stretched his voice extremely high, and the meaning of his words was extremely clear to the ears of everyone present.

Most of the guests present were people with some status, and some of them had witnessed the farce at the Holy Emperor's birthday banquet.

Therefore, when they knew the identity of the comer, they probably guessed his intention. So they all put down their glasses and turned their heads to look at it.

The Peony Pavilion fell silent.

Although the landscape on Bei Tongxuan's face is still so calm, it is not difficult to see from the green tendons that suddenly appeared on his arm holding the teacup that he was extremely uncalm at this time.

"Like smoke. In the end, he squeezed such a name out of his throat.

"Who's like smoke? Let me think. Long Xiangjun put away the folding fan and patted his head lightly, making a look of hard thought and meditation. It seems that he really can't remember who the girl he treated at the Holy Emperor's birthday banquet a few days ago was.

But he grasped the proportions very well, and at the moment when Bei Tongxuan's brows began to wrinkle, he slapped his head, looking like he suddenly realized.

He approached Bei Tongxuan, a pair of eyes narrowed into a slit at that time, he looked at him, and said in a cold voice: "I remember, it's the one who preaches everywhere that he has an old relationship with General Bei and slanders the general's reputation, right?"

At the moment when Long Xiangjun spit out the last four words word by word, Beitong Xuan's cold face changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. He put his hand into his bosom again, took out several heavy pieces of silver, and placed them on the table. He asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Long Xiangjun was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Bei Tongxuan's reaction to be so calm. He looked at the silver on the table, reached out and picked one up, and weighed it in his hand for a moment.

"Do, how not to do it. However, General Bei's shot is generous, such a silver tael, with Ruyan's current value, can cover half a year!" After saying this, he turned his head to look at Liu Laobu, who was already a little sluggish, pouted, and said, "Go, call Ruyan out." ”

Liu Laobustard didn't move, she hesitated.

Bei Tongxuan has already lived up to Ruyan, but this time he suddenly came to the door again. With her experience, she naturally wouldn't believe that it was Beitongxuan who changed her mind, so she probably guessed that it was not a good thing for Beitongxuan to come to see Ruyan.

Her rickety body began to tremble, and for the first time in her life, she tried to resist Long Xiangjun.

"The pavilion master is like a smoke girl's body is sick, I'm afraid" She said these words intermittently and stammered. But in the end, she still mustered up the courage to say it.

"What? Do you want me to invite you personally?" Long Xiangjun's will naturally not change because of the words of a humble old bustard. He squinted at him, and a chill suddenly enveloped Liu Laobuxing's surroundings.

The chill made the already old Liu Laobu's body tremble, and for Long Xiangjun, almost instinctual fear for many years, he finally gained the upper hand.

"Yes. She bowed her head, reluctantly answered, and then hunched over and slowly retreated.
