After Peach Blossom Girl left Langshan, she walked eastward and followed Wu Sheng's instructions to go as far as she could.
She chose the country of Wu, which was a familiar place. Not only had she lived here for three years, but she had also worked with Shimen and her father-in-law to rob a powerful thief.
First they arrived at Zhongli, then crossed the border between Chu and Wu, and entered Guangling. Half a month later, Peach Blossom Girl arrived in Gusu.
Gusu was the capital of the Wu Kingdom. It was crowded with people, bustling markets, and a large number of practitioners. It was easy to get the elixir, and it was also convenient to escape if something happened - there were waterways and the city gates were not closed.
After settling down for a while, Peach Blossom Girl went to Qinghongfang. Most of the Gusu boat girls lived here, and she was one of them back then.
Standing next to the lotus and looking at the painted boats in the water, I found many painted boats docked on the shore. With a smile on my face, I selected the two-story boat on the left and walked slowly closer, but then hesitantly stopped.
The broken jade bead curtain was opened, and a beautiful woman came out of the boat and poured a pot of residual tea into the canal.
The peach blossom girl stood in front of the boat and watched intently, as if she was crazy.
When the beautiful woman turned her head to enter the cabin, she suddenly paused, then slowly turned back. She blinked her long eyelashes, lightly opened her red lips, and called out: "Sister..." Tears flowed from her eyes.
Come down.
Peach Blossom Girl smiled: "Nanny, you have grown up."
After boarding the boat, Peach Blossom Lady silently looked at everything in front of her: tables, chairs, bed curtains, lamps, candles and bronze mirrors. She then reached out to take the bamboo slips, inkstone, jade and other objects, and slowly rubbed them.
After a long while, he smiled and said: "You are having a smooth life, so I feel relieved."
"Sister, don't worry. After the death of the evil thief from Qingshan, no one will dare to bully our Taohuafang anymore. On the contrary, business has improved a lot. They all want to come and see where the chivalrous woman who killed the Gusu robber lived.
Now that my sister is in a good mood, I will serve a banquet and if there are guests that I don’t like, I will close the curtains and not accept them, so I feel comfortable. Sister, where have you been these past few years, and how have you been?"
"I am very good. I have traveled all over the Jiangzuo countries, seen many landscapes, and met many good people..."
The two sisters talked in the boat, and their feelings after saying goodbye to each other lasted the whole night.
On the second day, Taohua Niang hid on the second floor of the boat, and her sister Tao Rui Niang opened the business. That night, she negotiated the purchase intention of the elixir. Three days later, a Liuwei Dihuang Pill was sold, and she received thirty gold.
On the seventh day, the second coin was sold and thirty-five gold was recorded.
After that, the remaining three coins were sold for thirty to thirty-five gold. No matter how high they were, they couldn't be sold. Most of the monks who could afford more gold had connections and could go to Jixia Academy to seek help.
Dan, although you have to wait for a while and pay a high price secretly, it is much more reliable than buying Liuwei Dihuang Pills from unknown sources.
In half a month, I made a net profit of sixty gold. The income was really amazing.
Peach Blossom Girl gave half of it to her sister, but Peach Blossom Girl refused for a long time and had no choice but to accept it. The two sisters happily celebrated with wine and sailed down the canal, enjoying the scenery along the way.
Outside the city of Gusu, there is an exquisite village nestled under the green willows and weeping poplars. Outside the village there are two acres of lotus ponds.
Taorui Niang pulled the boat to the shore and said: "There is a newly moved owner of the village who is kind-hearted and often visits Peach Boat. However, he only eats wine, listens to music and dances, and asks for nothing else. The rewards are generous, so
I helped my sister deal with a trouble once. When I got here today, my sister planned to come and say thank you. What do you think, sister?"
Peach Blossom Girl nodded: "I'm so kind to my daughter, so of course I have to come and say thank you. I just don't know if the owner of the village has a family, otherwise it would be rude to go there rashly."
Tao Ruiniang said angrily: "Sister, I have told you several times not to call me Nannan anymore. I have grown up!"
Peach Blossom Girl smiled and said, "I watched you grow up, and you will always be my daughter."
Tao Ruiniang shook her head helplessly: "Although he is old, he has no family..."
With that said, the two of them got off the boat and were about to pass by when a man emerged from behind a nearby tree. He was dressed in gray and linen, holding a long sword in his hand, and gestured to them to be silent.
Tao Ruiniang recognized him. She was a disciple of Gusu Yisi and one of Taohuafang's benefactors. She immediately said: "Mr. Yan..."
Mr. Yan quickly waved his hand and sent them back to the boat. He looked back at Zhuangzi and then whispered: "Why is Rui Niang here?"
Tao Ruiniang said: "The owner of the village treats the slave family very well. I passed by today and wanted to pay a visit."
Mr. Yan said: "Go back quickly. The owner of the village here is a wanted criminal from Jixia Academy. The academy has arrived and is about to arrest him. The danger is very tight."
The two sisters had no choice but to return to the boat. As soon as they boarded the boat and lowered the rope, they suddenly heard a burst of excitement from the place where gold and iron broke out. Then several people shouted: "The thieves who dared to resist have been captured!"
Someone else shouted urgently: "Come quickly, Secretary Sun is injured..."
When the two sisters looked back, they saw several people from the village escorting a disheveled monk out and onto a awning boat docked on the shore. More monks poured into the village.
Mr. Yan urged the sisters: "Go back quickly. I'm going to the village to search for stolen goods. Say goodbye!"
The Peach Blossom Boat sailed down the river and left here.
Ruiniang sat feebly by the cabin, watching the awning boat getting further and further away through the curtain, covering her heart and saying: "God, what happened to the owner of the village? Why did a good man become a robber..." Looking back to see her sister
With a dull look on his face, he asked: "Sister, sister?"
Peach Blossom Girl forced a smile and said, "It's okay."
The pleasure of traveling was gone, and when the painting boat returned to Qinghong Boat, Taohua Niang suddenly said: "This owner of the village... treats you very well?"
Ruiniang said with lingering fear: "Who says it's not the case?"
Peach Blossom Girl said: "Is he supposed to be your benefactor?"
Ruiniang nodded: "Yes."
Peach Blossom Girl said: "Then you shouldn't turn a blind eye... You should repay kindness! Girl, don't you know Mr. Yan from Yisi? Ask him if he can be rescued. Let's spend money! If the crime is too big,
At least you should know what he has committed, and you should bury him when he dies."
Ruiniang agreed and went to see Mr. Yan that night, but unfortunately she didn't see him. She went again the next day and still didn't see him. On the third day, she finally saw him and came back to tell Peach Blossom Niang the news.
The owner is dead!
"Mr. Yan said that it was related to the major case of Pengchengguanyi and asked me not to inquire randomly. He also said that the owner of the village was very tough and would not open his mouth no matter how hard he tried. He took an opportunity this morning and committed suicide. It is said that Jixiaxue
The big man who came from the palace lost his temper, and everyone in the city was furious, and some of the officials who were in charge were punished. As for the burial, he also advised me not to cause trouble."
Peach Blossom Girl stayed for a long time, and suddenly she felt cold all over, her hands and feet were trembling. She suppressed her abnormality and told Ruiniang: "Then don't ask anymore... I still have something to do, and I will come to see you after a while."
Peach Blossom Girl left Gusu and hurried on her way. She was worried about Wu Sheng and wanted to report to him quickly to avoid anything happening to him. It was already night when she returned to Langshan, and she was anxious all the way.
Wu Sheng had taught her the formula for entering and exiting the Nine Nether Six Houses Formation earlier, so he entered the formation directly. After entering Songzhu Yayuan, he kicked Wu Sheng's room open, but saw not only Wu Sheng, but also a figure next to him
A graceful woman.
Wu Sheng looked up in shock: "What are you doing?"
