Among Bianjing, the most lively place at night is Fanlou, which ranks first among the 72 restaurants in Bianjing.

Fan Tower has five three-story buildings in the southeast, northwest, and middle. There are flying bridges connecting the fifth floors. They are decorated with lights and colors, which is very spectacular.

Not much can be seen during the day, but once it's night, Fan Tower starts to become lively, with a lot of people, guests coming and going, and a constant flow of people.

As the largest gold-selling cave in Bianjing City, Fan Tower is famous only because of one person.

The most famous prostitute in the Song Dynasty, Li Shishi!

Whether they are the rich and powerful in the capital or the merchants and nobles from other places, they come to Fanlou for only one purpose, which is to witness Li Shishi's peerless appearance and appreciate Li Shishi's singing and dancing skills.

In the past, Master Li would come out to perform at least one performance for the guests who came here every night, winning applause from the whole house.

But I don’t know why, in recent times, Master Li rarely performs on stage anymore.

Nearly two months have passed, and Li Shishi has only made three appearances.

All the guests who came and went were very puzzled by this. When they asked the Madam of Fanlou, they still hesitated and couldn't fart for a long time.

Some wealthy businessmen simply named Master Li to perform on stage and spent huge sums of money to do so, but even so, Master Li never appeared on stage.

So it was inevitable that rumors would spread in Bianjing.

Some people say that Master Li is ill and should not go on stage.

Some people also say that Mr. Li was so proud that he did not take the guests seriously and did not want to go on stage again after he became famous.

However, no matter how the rumors spread in Bianjing, Li Shishi never showed up to explain, and Fan Lou also kept silent. This caused these rumors to spread more and more widely, and Li Shishi was already showing signs of being ruined!

If Master Li is really ruined, it will be a huge blow to Fan Lou.

But Fan Lou had no choice, because it was not that Master Li was unwilling to perform on stage, but because some people regarded Master Li as a canary in a cage and only wanted to appreciate it alone and were unwilling to share it with others.

As for this person, let alone Fan Lou, there are probably not many people in the entire capital who can afford to offend him!

There is an exquisite small building on the northwest side of Fan Tower.

The Fan Tower outside the small building was full of people and lively.

But the Fan Building inside the small building is so quiet that you can hear the needle drop, and it seems like two worlds torn apart from the outside.

"well."

In the small building, a low sigh sounded, like resentment, admiration, tears and complaints.

In front of the dressing table, sat a beautiful figure wearing a pink skirt. She was extremely elegant, with white and delicate skin. Although she was trapped in the dust, she did not give people a sense of debauchery. Instead, she gave people an elegant and noble temperament, which made her

Being photographed by others makes them feel ashamed and dare not blaspheme.

But there are some people who like to blaspheme such people, treating them as playthings, holding them in the palm of their hands, and playing with them wantonly.

Perhaps it is a great sense of accomplishment to see others love you but not love you, but to be able to do whatever you want.

Li Shishi raised his head and looked at the moon covered by dark clouds in the sky, as if he saw his covered life, he couldn't help but sigh softly, and a sad look appeared on his delicate and small face.

"When will these days end?"

"Miss."

Just when Master Li sighed, a voice suddenly came from downstairs.

Immediately afterwards, a cute and pretty figure climbed up to the second floor.

This is Master Li's personal maid, Xiaolu. She has grown up with Master Li since she was a child, and they are like sisters.

Master Li saw Xiaolu coming upstairs and asked softly: "Here?"

Xiaolu shook his head and replied: "It seems that I won't come today."

Master Li couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he heard Xiaolu's answer.

Xiaolu looked at the sad look on Master Li's face and whispered: "Miss, I also know that you are in trouble, but that..."

Li Shishi smiled bitterly and responded: "Of course I know this is something we can't resist."

She is very famous and is sought after by many people, but in the end she is just a prostitute.

If others are happy, she is a famous prostitute; if others are unhappy, she is nothing.

Xiaolu hesitated and said, "Miss, I heard something when I was entertaining distinguished guests two days ago."

Master Li asked nonchalantly: "What's the matter?"

Xiaolu replied: "A very powerful fortune teller has come to the capital. It is said that he can change his life against the will of heaven. Miss, maybe you can too..."

…

Early the next morning.

Huo Yin finished the night's practice and put away Long Yuan.

He had just gotten up to wash up and put everything away when a call came from outside.

"Is Mr. Huo at home?"

Huo Yin heard the silver bell-like sound, opened the door and walked out of the room, saying loudly: "Please come in."

As Huo Yin finished speaking, the door of the small courtyard was slowly pushed open from the outside.

Two slim figures wearing curtain hats and veils on their faces walked into the courtyard one after another.

When the woman walking in front saw Huo Yin, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.

She always thought that this very powerful fortune teller would be an old man, or at least a middle-aged man, but she never expected that he would be so young.

"Master Li has met Mr. Huo."

Li Shishi's voice dispersed like smoke waves, like the east wind caressing orchids, penetrated into the ears and sank into the heart, making people feel an indescribable sense of benefit.

Even the well-informed Huo Yin had to admit that this was the most moving voice he had ever heard.

Huo Yin looked at Li Shishi, a famous prostitute who was famous all over the world, smiled lightly and said: "If you want to ask for a hexagram, please show me the hexagram gold."

Xiaolu, who was following Master Li, stepped forward and presented him with a ten thousand tael silver note.

At the same time, Master Li said: "I want to know, how can I get out of the current predicament?"

She had really had enough of this feeling of being cooped up.

Even if the person who kept her captive was the emperor of this dynasty and the most noble person, she was not willing to continue living such a life.

When Huo Yin heard Li Shishi's words, he smiled slightly and said, "Does the girl really not know how to get out of the predicament in front of her?"

Master Li frowned slightly and said, "Please make it clear, sir."

Huo Yin walked slowly to the stone table and sat down, boiled a pot of tea, and then said: "Why did the girl get into trouble? Because she is beautiful? But there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and there are many who are as beautiful as the girls.

.”

"Because you are good at singing and dancing? But in Bianjing, there are more than thousands of people who are good at singing and dancing."

When Li Shishi heard Huo Yin's words, the look on his face suddenly became a little subtle.

She asked Huo Yin: "Why does Mr. Huo think I am in trouble?"

Huo Yin glanced at Master Li and replied, "In the final analysis, the most attractive thing about you is just your identity."

The number one prostitute in the capital, and even the number one prostitute in the Song Dynasty, was sought after by thousands of people and pursued by tens of thousands of people. All of this created Li Shishi today and gave Li Shishi a unique and alluring aura.

This dilemma also arises because of this halo.

If Master Li is not Master Li in Fanlou, but Master Li living in the streets, what if he meets Song Huizong?

She was just a relatively beautiful folk girl. Of course she would be somewhat attractive to Song Huizong, and she might be favored by Song Huizong, but she would never let Song Huizong have the idea of ​​taking her as his own.

So it's not that Li Shishi can't get out of the predicament at hand, it's that she can't bear to part with this glory and halo.

If you want to continue to be sought after by thousands of people and don't want to become a caged object of the powerful, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

Master Li smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "With my appearance, even if I give up this identity, can I live my life safely?"

Huo Yin smiled and replied: "That is another dilemma, not the current one."

Master Li was silent for a long time, and then he said sadly: "Can't I be free in this life?"

Although Huo Yin could not see Li Shishi's face, he could hear Li Shishi's helplessness and helplessness from his voice.

He sighed softly and said: "If you want to be free, there are only two ways to go. Either control the supreme power, or have incomparable strength. It is a pity that you have neither of these."

Master Li was silent again.

Huo Yin looked at Master Li, who looked increasingly helpless and pitiful in silence, and said, "Maybe you cannot control the supreme power and possess the strength of powerful force, but you may not be able to obtain all this through other means."

When Master Li heard Huo Yin's words, her face showed hope again. She said to Huo Yin urgently: "Please teach me, sir."

Huo Yin raised his hand and knocked on the stone table, saying, "This is the second hexagram."

Master Li understood the idea and said: "In the afternoon, I will ask Xiaolu to send another 100,000 taels of hexagram gold."

As the most famous prostitute in the Song Dynasty, Li Shishi gained countless gold and silver, and she could still afford one hundred thousand taels of gold.

Huo Yin nodded slightly, pointed in the direction of Fan Lou, and said, "Go back, your opportunity is on the way."

After hearing this, Master Li subconsciously turned her head and glanced in the direction of Fan Lou. Although she didn't quite understand what this opportunity was, she now chose to believe Huo Yin's words and go back to Fan Lou.

Li Shishi and Xiaolu said goodbye to Huo Yin, then left the small courtyard and walked towards Fan Tower.

Xiaolu followed Master Li and asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you think what he said is credible?"

Although Xiaolu has heard a lot about Huo Yin recently, he still feels a little unsure.

Master Li said softly: "He knows better than you."

Entertainment venues like Fan Lou are a mixed bag of good and bad, and the most well-informed.

She had already inquired about Huo Yin before coming here, and she knew that Huo Yin was not a simple fortune teller.

While Master Li and Xiaolu were talking, a vegetable farmer carrying a pole suddenly appeared in front of them and asked with a smile: "Does this lady want to buy some fresh vegetables?"

Li Shishi was about to shake his head and refuse, when the vegetable farmer said again: "The basket on the left is power, and the basket on the right is strength. Which one does the lady want? Or do you want both?"

Thanks for the 100-point reward for raising a little fat pig at home!
