Chapter 5: The Dead Man's Head in the Water Tank
Among these women, some are the maidservants and maids of the flower peony, some are her cousins and sisters, some are her handkerchiefs and best friends, and some are orphan girls raised by her.
Peony is classified as a victim by the four watches.
She was about twenty-five or six years old, and was the general manager in charge of the daily life of the "Flower House", the second person in the "Gentle Township", and she was very capable and diligent, and she looked quite pleasing to the eye, but she was not pretty.
Orchid, also about twenty years old, is a flower girl who manages the accounts of the "flower room", her facial features and silhouette are very charming, very beautiful, soft and weak, and sven.
She belongs to the kind of woman who makes the four more tired.
Plum blossoms, tall and thin, are the chefs in charge of cooking in the "flower room", very diligent, but they look unpleasant all day long, which makes the fourth watch also look unpleasant to her, undoubtedly, the first impression was put into the label of "hurting" by the fourth watch.
Chrysanthemums, big heads, big heads, bigger blocks, big hands, big feet, big buttocks, big mouths, big voices, bigger breath, even a pair of rabbits on the chest, are big to death!
She is the bodyguard of the "Gentle Township", and she has come forward to deal with all the troubles in the outside world.
The fourth watch was scared when she saw her, she was enough to fit an eighth watch, that is, two four watches, and it was a scary woman.
Peach Blossom and Lotus are twin sisters, they are responsible for cleaning the inside and outside of the "Flower House", the two sisters are very good-looking, very squeamish, just like paper people and porcelain dolls tied with paper, delicate, broken when stabbed, broken at the touch.
The fourth is very disgusted with this kind of pretentious woman, and feels that women like them are quite annoying.
Poppy beauty, the beautiful one of the flower girls, is the cousin of the flower peony, a little listless, the lower abdomen is slightly protruding, and the careful Ruoyan has already guessed that this beautiful girl is already pregnant with Liujia and is at least four months pregnant.
This kind of woman is cute, this is the idea of the four more.
There is also a woman who has not shown up since the guests entered the "flower house", and has been hiding in the room, refusing to come out.
It was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, weak and small, with a disheveled hair, timid, unable to see clearly, very afraid of life, very afraid of people, very afraid of things.
Hua Peony said that it was their youngest sister, named Gardenia.
Because of her young age, small body, and timidity, she is often bullied by male guests from the outside world, so she hides in the room to be a female celebrity, never comes out to meet strangers, and does not say a word all day long.
"They are my best sisters, all my most trusted relatives. Hua Peony introduced her female companions.
-- The reason why Hua Peony set up "Gentle Township" in "Wanhua Valley" is because it is an "important place" for soldiers to fight for.
This was originally the territory of Duan Xingzhi, the king of "Dali", Duan Xingzhi suffered a large-scale attack on Ye Tucheng, the "general of Zhennan" of the Great Song Dynasty, and was defeated in a row, in order to seek peace and help from the "Fugui Group", he had to cede the "Wanhua Valley" and other five tribe forts to the "Nirvana Group", with the help and pressure of Chai Ruge, Ye Tucheng was reined, and Duan Xingzhi was considered to have gained a firm foothold in the rout.
Later, Ye Tucheng, the "general of Zhennan" in the Great Song Dynasty, was impeached by Li Gang, the left prime minister, for slaughtering the tax-resisting peasants of "Beiliang County", and was imprisoned (see the volume of "Slaughter of the City"); Duan Xingzhi took advantage of the situation to regroup and revitalize Shengxian, and ceded the territory, leaving only the fortress of "Wanhua Valley".
At that time, Hua Peony was Duan Xingzhi's sweetheart, so he trusted her very much, but after the expiration of a year, Tong Guan and Chai Ruge of the "Fugui Group" sent the group's most powerful and youngest "hall master" Shen Zhongxia to manage the affairs of the "Southern Wilderness" all the way, as a result, Hua Peony was under the offensive of Shen Zhongxia, and also moved his heart, Shen Zhongxia can have his own unique set, he not only received the "Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers", but also "received" the nine sisters of the "Gentle Township".
However, Hua Peony did not forget his feelings for Duan Xingzhi.
Duan Xingzhi is a strange person, he is noble-born, but wild and uninhibited, and he is short-tempered and does not understand amorous feelings, but he treats Hua Peony sincerely with good intentions.
She liked him because he was devoted and faithful and a good husband.
Shen Zhongxia is completely different.
He is careful, considerate, gentle, and thoughtful, his kung fu in bed is also very good, Shen Zhongxia has had many women in the love field, but he will make Hua Peony happy, making her feel that under him, she is a real woman.
She likes him because he is considerate and a good lover.
――A man can fall in love with several women at the same time, but why can't a woman?
Leng Ruoyan suddenly asked: "Peony girl, where did Prince Duan go? When the concubine came, he obviously met him on the road, why didn't he see anyone?"
"Duan Wangye has been here once, and he told me that Shen Zhongxia sent the first female killer Blue Phoenix by his side to kill our sisters, and then left in a hurry. Hua Peony hung her head and said.
"Those poor children, what's going on?" Song Ci with big buckteeth couldn't help but ask,
"Most of them are the products of Shen Zhongxia's venting of his beastly desires in our sisters, of course, it is not excluded that a few of them are Duan Xingzhi's, Duan Xingzhi has a grudge against Shen Zhongxia, so he uses these children as livestock to keep and drive herds, in order to vent his hatred, we are women, and we can't do anything about it......" When he said this, Hua Peony's expression was a little sad and confused.
Blood Iris clenched his fist and said angrily: "It's not even human!"
Hua Peony swept the messy hair on her sideburns, and only smiled: "We know too many secrets of Shen Zhongxia, he will send the Blue Phoenix to kill us sooner or later, it's almost dawn, Plum Blossom, go and prepare breakfast for a few guests." ”
Leng Ruoyan gave Tang Shi a look, and the latter stood up and said, "Everyone is hungry, I'm going to help too." ”
Kitchen, spacious and tidy.
Tang Shi picked vegetables, plum blossoms went to fetch water to wash rice, when she opened the lid of the water tank, "bang", a head suddenly appeared under the water in the tank!
It was a woman's head, and her face, head, and facial features were crawling in and out of spiders, centipedes, toads, geckos, water snakes, and she was grinning at plum blossoms!
Plum Blossom was so frightened that she screamed, dropped the scoop, turned her head and ran out!
Tang Shi was rushing over here, she wanted to see what was going on, the two women were panicked and the other was frightened, they couldn't hold their feet, and they bumped into each other solidly.
The screams of plum blossoms attracted the four adults and a large group of women in the room outside. Seeing the strange woman in the water tank, some people were shocked, some people were confused, some people were curious, and some people were frightened.
Leng Ruoyan suddenly remembered something, and asked in a lost voice, "Are you a blue ...... Blue Phoenix!"
The strange woman who came out of the water tank seemed to be very difficult, her whole body was shaking, and she clenched her throat with her hand, making a terrible sound of "gurgling":
"Quick...... Notification Segment...... Duan Wangye...... I'm Blue Phoenix...... There is a load to trust...... I...... I can't protect Shen Zhongxia anymore...... Above...... It's ...... to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers."
Hua Peony said with a disgraced face: "Blue Phoenix, aren't you sent by Prince Duan to be a bodyguard and protector by Shen Zhongxia's side?
"Peony girl...... You must inform Shen Ye...... You tell him...... My blue phoenix has failed to live up to his love...... suffered from Tang Shao's plot...... You must tell Shen Ye ...... the golden treasure on the 'Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers'...... Can't let the 'Blue Dragon Society' take it away...... Tang Shao wants to swallow the gold alone...... Be sure to make peace with Duan Wangye...... Only the prince's 'One Yang Finger' can restrain Tang Shao...... Please ask Duan Wang Ye to help Shen Ye help him...... For the sake of reinvigorating the prestige...... Pull Shen Ye ...... Help Shen Ye tide over the difficulties...... And also...... You tell Shen Ye for me...... Blue Phoenix Joy ...... I like him......" Blue Phoenix said intermittently, and when he said the last sentence, he actually shed tears.
Hua Peony listened and nodded frequently.
Blue Phoenix finally roared and threw down a sentence: "Quick! go and meet Duan Wangye, protect Shen Ye, remember to guard against a naked woman who sharpens her knife and sings every night, she is ......" Speaking of this, Blue Phoenix swallowed his breath.
"Dead!?" asked Blood Iris, probing his head from behind the fourth watchman, and the others were full of surprise and disbelief.
"Yes. Tang Shi, who was well versed in poison, after the inspection, told Leng Ruoyan: "Strange poison attacks the heart, and I can't be saved." ”
With a "boom", the water tank suddenly exploded, and the water in the entire tank turned into blood-red blood water, dripping all over the ground, so terrible!
"Blue Phoenix is an elder of the 'Five Poison Sect', full of poisonous skills, rampant in 'Tiannan', I didn't expect to be still in the way of the 'Poison King' Tang Shao!"
"It's 'Qinghuajia'!" Tang Shi said in an affirmative tone: "It's exactly the same as the poisoning appearance of the border soldiers killed in the camp tent outside the valley, Tang Shao is nearby!"
"Or just between us......" Leng Ruoyan's emotional eyes glanced at the people in the "Flower House" one by one, she frowned, and the beautiful smile was no longer goodbye.
Hua Peony muttered: "If the blue girl is caught in Tang Shao's 'Qinghua Jia's plot and is poisoned by him, then there is no way to break it, she can only sneak into the kitchen, first close her own acupoints, soak them in the water tank, temporarily suppress the poison, and temporarily ensure that she will not die for a while, before the police signal is transmitted. ”
Blood Iris said: "It seems that it was Tang Shao and Shen Zhongxia who started to coax themselves. ”
Leng Ruoyan said: "Although the 'Blue Dragon Society' and Shen Zhongxia are collusive alliances, they are deceitful to each other, and they are on guard against each other; ”
