The third volume is famous, the forty-fifth chapter is all suffering
The movements and sounds of the two people could be heard endlessly, floating throughout the Xixiang Garden in the silent night.
The two soldiers hiding in the dark had already heard their blood surge and their noses bleed, but the general had his life and had to hold it back.
After a long time, the overwhelming sound still had no intention of stopping. The two soldiers looked at each other, their heads shook, and then they turned around and left as if they were flying away.
In the room, Su Ling and Ruhua had been acting like this for nearly half an hour. Su Ling stopped and walked to the door to inquire for a while. Then he walked back to the table, filled a glass of wine, and looked at Ruhua while drinking.
.
Ruhua continued to perform for a while. When she saw Su Ling looking at her with a playful look, she knew that the crisis was over. She immediately stopped and spat at him: "He left and you didn't tell me!"
Su Ling chuckled and said: "No, your voice is quite nice. I don't want to interrupt you!"
Ruhua rolled her eyes at him, walked over to sit opposite Su Ling, picked up the flask, poured a glass of wine, and took a sip herself.
Su Ling then said seriously: "Who are you?"
Ruhua held out two green onions and said, "Before I answer the question, please answer my two questions."
Su Ling shrugged and said, "You have the final say on your territory. What's the problem?"
Ruhua then said: "First, why did nothing happen to you when you fell under my spell?"
Su Ling smiled faintly and said: "Did you know that I have two masters? Zhang Shennong and Yuan Hua, they are both genius doctors in the world. Your incense contains datura flowers. Datura can make people unconscious. This trick
How could I not know? I happened to have something with me, and I just happened to use it today. It was a fluke! I took advantage of you and sniffed the antidote first."
Ruhua muttered: "I see... I thought you were immune to all poisons!"
After saying that, he added: "Secondly, why do you want to stage such a play? How did you know that Wen Tiezheng would rush to this room as soon as possible."
Su Ling smiled and said: "You have a sword in your body. If you return all the way, you will definitely leave blood stains. Wen Tiezheng will definitely follow the blood stains to chase you, so I have no choice but to bite the wound to pieces and cover it up. Even if he gets suspicious, look
He will not come back until now, which is also a helpless move. Furthermore, although Wen Tiezheng is a military general, he is not the kind of person who has no brains. Yangzhou can be called a general with brains. He is the first
Bit. I expected that he would leave someone to monitor him, so..."
Ruhua was satisfied with his answer, but she still spat at him and said, "It's just that if you act like this, my innocence will be completely destroyed by you!"
Su Ling rolled his eyes and said: "Are you mistaken? I was criticized by Xu Shao for being "Chiji". Now I have a good reputation. I guess I will be a pervert after tonight! Your innocence is still in the brothel.
inside?"
Ruhua pouted twice and said angrily: "Is there no innocence in a brothel? My mandala is really not a good decoration..."
Su Ling was startled, then waved her hands and said, "I really didn't know that you were still a young lady."
Su Ling chuckled and said, "I'm done asking, it's my turn to ask."
Ruhua nodded.
"Why choose me!"
Ruhua was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are really smart, you actually saw that I deliberately chose you to cover up others' deception. Anyway, I did choose you on purpose, and you are the only one who is the most suitable. As for why, it is better for you to tell me yourself.
You must forget that I am a member of Hongshaoying."
Su Ling's mind was racing, and he suddenly said: "I understand, since you are from Hongshaoying, you must have investigated me. This is not surprising, other people are either rich or noble, and most of them are good at martial arts, but I
I am just a common man from a fishing village, and I got lucky and received a review from Xu Shao, so it was very appropriate to choose me. I thought it was because of my good performance in the poem... Hongshaoying
Didn’t know I was good at martial arts!”
When Su Ling thought of this, his face changed, and his voice was already a little cold as he said: "It seems that when you choose me, I will be a dead person. I wonder when the oiran lady will take action?"
Ruhua did not deny it, nodded and said: "Originally, I wanted to kill you after dealing with that bastard Liu Zhang. But, you had that dream about Jiangnan, and you brought out the old things in my heart, which is very useful.
If you are touched, I really have no intention of killing you anymore."
Su Ling secretly said to himself, God bless him. Fortunately, he chose such a poem. If it had been other words, he would have blown out the lamp and pulled out the wax.
Su Ling's expression softened, and he nodded and said: "No wonder you looked in a trance when you read my words. It's a long night now, you might as well talk about what's on your mind. It's good for me to be a listener, and
Since you are a member of Hongshaoying, why do you use your identity as a brothel oiran as a cover?"
Ruhua smiled sadly, took a sip of wine, and there was a trace of confusion and hesitation in her eyes. She just shook her head suddenly and murmured: "That's all, you are just an ordinary person. Today I will let you be a listener."
.I hope I won’t regret this impulse many years later.”
"If it enters my ears, I will not tell anyone else."
Ruhua nodded and said: "It's so dangerous, but you still rescue me, I believe in you."
Suddenly he sighed quietly: "Su Ling, my name is Mu Yanqing."
"Mu Yanqing..." Su Ling repeated.
Mu Yanqing nodded and said faintly: "Ordinary people may not know this name, but if they are from the Sprite Division and the Shadow Division, they will definitely feel like they are facing a formidable enemy. Su Ling, you know the intelligence assassination business in this world.
It is staged every day. There is not much difference between Hongshaoying, Pingshisi and Shadow Division. It is just that Hongshaoying is an organization affiliated to Jingnan Hou Qian Zhongmou. It’s just that Hongshaoying is more secretive and acts more erratically. You
You know, the chief shadowmaker of Red Shaoying is me - Mu Yanqing!"
"What?!" Su Ling looked in disbelief. He thought that this kind of intelligence assassination would always be hidden from the light of day. He never thought that the leader of this organization with blood on his hands turned out to be such a delicate and beautiful woman.
Mu Yanqing seemed sad but also happy, and smiled softly: "I didn't expect that the first bloodthirsty demon in Hongshaoying who killed without batting an eye was a woman, right? And what you can't even imagine, all the members of Hongshaoying, all
They are all women."
"I..." Su Ling was speechless for a moment.
"What about women? Women have to support their husbands and raise their children, and follow the three obediences and four virtues. Can't they become men's vassals? Can't they go into battle to kill the enemy, and their clothes are stained with blood?" Mu Yanqing said word by word.
Su Ling smiled lightly and said: "Haha, you are also a feminist."
When Mu Yanqing heard this, she was very surprised and said: "Feminist? Although this term is new, it is also appropriate."
After saying that, he sighed again and said: "Although I am the shadow master of the Red Shaoying Organization, I am also a person with a family background. Do you know Mu Song, an old minister of Jingnan?"
Su Ling shook his head and said, "This...I really don't know."
Mu Yanqing sighed and said, "It's normal that you don't know. Now that the Marquis of Jingnan is no longer Qian Bofu, how many people know my father's name?"
"My father, Mu Song, was the mastermind behind Qian Wentai, the first Marquis of Jingnan! The Qian and Mu families were family friends, and the Qian family was one of the four great families in Jingnan. My martial arts skills were taught by Uncle Wentai.
My father, Mu Song, made great contributions to the defense of Jingnan Marquis Qian Wentai. However, Qian Wentai was completely defeated in the battle of Jingxiang River and was killed by Huang Jiangxia, the naval commander of Liu Jingsheng in Yangzhou. In that battle, my brother
Mu Shijiu was also captured by Huang Jiangxia and died unyieldingly. This also became the starting point of the decline of my Mu family. In my Mu family, only one of my elder brothers is a boy, and Mu Yanqing wishes she could have been born as a boy!" Mu Yanqing looked a little sad and angry.
.
Su Ling listened carefully and had some doubts in his heart. This section seemed to exist in that era, but there were more people. He was a little confused. Is this world connected with that world, or does it exist independently?
"After that battle, the troops in Jingnan were dispersed. My father, Mu Song, endured the pain of losing his son and worked with several veterans of Jingnan to help Uncle Bao Wentai's eldest son Qian Bofu inherit the throne. However, his power declined and he had no choice but to lie dormant in Huainan.
Under Shen Jigao's command. Oh, by the way, Shen Jigao is Shen Jizhou's half-brother. But who is Shen Jigao? He treats me, Jingnan's general, as a spearman, and targets him in everything. My father has gone through many hardships to protect Qian Bofu, and he is walking on thin ice.
.Finally regained the lost ground in Jingnan and escaped from Shen Jigao's control." Mu Yanqing said slowly with dark eyes.
"It's just that Qian Bofu was a brave man, but he was short-lived. He died suddenly and violently only two years after regaining the lost territory. This matter is quite strange. After years of Hongshaoying's investigation, some clues have been found. It seems that
There is some subtle relationship with Liangxianwu, but the matter is serious, Liangxianwu is a god-like existence in the entire Jiangnan, and we Hongshaoying dare not act rashly." Mu Yanqing said, with a helpless smile.
.
"Liangxianwu?" When Su Ling heard this name for the second time, he suddenly thought of the young master named Gu Buyi. It seemed that he was the student of Liangxianwu. At that time, he just thought that Liangxianwu was just for learning, at most.
It was just a matter of making some myths about gods and ghosts to fool the people. Now it seems that the two immortal docks are definitely not as simple as he thought.
"That's right..." Mu Yanqing nodded slowly and said, "We at Hongshaoying will definitely investigate this matter carefully."
She seemed to have calmed down and said: "After the death of Jingnan Marquis Qian Bofu, my father and a group of senior ministers worked hard to support his younger brother Qian Zhongmou to succeed Jingnan Marquis. It's just that Qian Zhongmou...
..hehe!"
Su Ling said calmly: "How about Qian Zhongmou?"
"When he was not a Marquis, he was respectful and humble to my father, Mu Songna, a family of veterans, and even promised him an important position. This was the first few years after the Marquis, when he was both a Marquis and the overlord of Jingnan. Although his words were not as respectful as usual, he was more respectful.
I will not be negligent. My father and the old ministers and their families have tried their best to ensure that his position is stable. Now that Qian Bofu's eldest son is far away from Jingnan, no one threatens his position anymore. He no longer hides it and appoints Zhou Huaijin and others.
A bunch of young upstarts deliberately check and balance the Jingnan elders and the upstarts, who are fighting openly and secretly, and he can even reap the benefits of others."
"What an imperial technique!" Su Ling sighed.
Mu Yanqing said noncommittally: "Although my father has been promoted to an official position and has reached the highest level of civil servants, he has long been in name only and has become dispensable. My father is filled with grief and anger. After thinking about it, the Mu family is in decline.
The root cause was the Yangzhou shepherd Liu Jingsheng. Seeing my father's grief, anger, and depression, and his health getting worse and worse, I decided to seek justice for my father as a daughter! The first one at the moment was the Yangzhou herdsman Liu Jingsheng who owed my Mu family a blood debt.
My father and I have been working hard for several years, and Red Shaoying has reached such a scale. Qian Zhongmou, the Marquis of Jingnan, is a man with a big picture. He knows that my father has complaints, but he will never personally destroy this once-sprinkled business.
Jingnan Jiangshan, which has shed blood and tears, also recognized Hong Shaoying in order to calm the hearts of these old ministers and to check and balance the young upstarts who are now in the ascendant. However, although I am the master of the film, Hong Shaoying will only die for him."
Su Ling sighed and nodded: "Qian Zhongmou has a good trick. In this way, you will serve him, and he has captured the lifeblood of your Mu family. Since ancient times, ruthlessness has been a prince, it can be seen."
"Two years ago, my father Mu Song and I planned a plan to assassinate Liu Zhang. I heard that Liu Zhang was polite and lustful, and I was even more obsessed with a certain lady in Xixiang Garden, so I lurked here.
Using my magic skills, I became the oiran of this Banan City. Tonight is the time for me to take action." Mu Yanqing said word by word.
Although she said it was easy, Su Ling could feel the twists and turns and hardships involved.
"It's just...it still failed..." Mu Yanqing looked sad and filled with tears.
Su Ling felt quite unbearable, and said slowly: "You don't have to be too harsh on yourself. You are just a girl, but you have to bear so many burdens. It's not fair..."
When Mu Yanqing heard what he said, she felt that all the strength and stubbornness in her heart were shattered into pieces at that moment. Tears streamed down her face, and she began to cry sadly.
The weakness, tenderness and desolation made Su Ling's heart shrink for a while.
Su Ling wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start, so she could only sigh: "Actually, life only lasts for more than ten years. It will always be better if you cry. Just cry."
Mu Yanqing laid her head on the table, covering her face, her shoulders trembling with snow, and her cries were suppressed and sad.
After a long time, Mu Yanqing raised her head. Although there were no tears in her eyes, there were still some tears on her pretty face and said: "Mu Yanqing has ceased to be a woman since she joined Hongshaoying...
...Only you, Su Ling... still treat me as a woman..."
Su Ling smiled and said sternly: "A woman in this world should always live up to her youth and beauty. The heaviness and turmoil of this troubled world are weighing on you, and you are helpless..."
"Thank you..." Mu Yanqing looked sad, but murmured with a smile through her tears.
After a while, Su Ling said: "Just Miss Mu, do you think what happened tonight is too strange? As you said, your plan was started two years ago, why did it leak out?"
Mu Yanqing smiled miserably and said, "Then Liu Jingsheng is so easy to deal with... No!"
Mu Yanqing's beautiful eyes suddenly changed several times, and she said word by word: "Hongshaoying! Could it be the inside of Hongshaoying..."
Thinking of this, Mu Yanqing sternly raised her hands to Su Lingyi and said, "Thank you for reminding me!"
Su Ling smiled noncommittally and said with stern eyes: "There is a story about two fish fighting for food and fighting to the death, but none of them knew that it was the person holding the boom who controlled their fate.
"
Mu Yanqing frowned slightly, looked at Su Ling in confusion, and asked, "What kind of story are you telling me?"
Su Ling did not reveal anything, but simply said: "When I was in a fishing village, there was a little girl as beautiful as you. She loved hearing me tell her stories the most."
When Mu Yanqing heard this, she was quite lost and said: "I have fallen into the shadow of red peony, and my hands are stained with the blood of countless people. Now in the alley of fireworks and willows, can I still be worthy of the word beauty?"
Su Ling smiled and said sincerely: "You have obsessions and don't care about anything. You are a strange woman, why can't you be worthy of the word beauty?"
Mu Yanqing then smiled and said, "Thank you for enlightening me..."
Su Ling chuckled and said, "Do you have a gauze medicine box?"
Mu Yanqing pointed to the cabinet on the left.
Su Ling opened the cabinet and took out the gauze and gold wound medicine.
Mu Yanqing raised her right shoulder in front of his face and said, "You bit my wound open, and you are a doctor. You are responsible for this."
Su Ling could only shake her head helplessly, put gauze on her white shoulders to compare the width, then touched the gold wound medicine, and bandaged her carefully.
At the moment, Mu Yanqing's shoulders were half exposed and her body was covered by a small dress. No matter how careful Su Ling was, he would inevitably touch her skin slightly from time to time.
Under his unintentional touch, Mu Yanqing's whole body felt numb like an electric shock, her face turned red, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
Su Ling smelled the delicate fragrance coming from her body, and saw her endless spring. She couldn't help but feel excited, her breathing gradually became heavier, and her hands gradually began to tremble.
Suddenly, the house was filled with beautiful women.
Mu Yanqing was in a daze, looking at Su Ling's careful bandaging, and suddenly murmured: "Su Ling...have you ever been to Jiangnan?"
Su Ling shook his head.
Mu Yanqing thought quietly: "There are millions of hatreds, and the hatred is at the end of the world. The mountains and moons don't know what's in my heart, the water and wind fall in front of my eyes, and the blue clouds sway. You have never been there, why can you write so deeply?
"
Su Ling prevaricated: "I've already explained it, Meng Jiangnan."
Mu Yanqing's eyes were full of memories, with a vague smile: "The south of the Yangtze River is really beautiful, with small bridges over clear water, fishing boats singing songs. There are also orioles singing and flowers blooming, and if it's night, the stream is filled with smoke.
, the moonlight is hazy... When I left Jiangnan two years ago, the peony flowers in the mountains and fields were in full bloom... Do you know Su Ling, those peony flowers are like a dream?
Flower, I just dance and laugh like that..."
She seemed to be talking to Su Ling or talking to herself. Suddenly her smile disappeared, and her face was full of longing and sadness. She said sadly: "It's been two years... That peony is at this time."
Maybe it blooms just as well as it did that year...but the people in the flowers...can't go back...can't go back."
Su Ling bandaged her wound and was already covered in sweat. Listening to what she said, she suddenly thought of the big river in Sujia Village, the smiling Xiaolan, and the touch of green clothes in the valley. She was filled with sadness.
He raised his head and said slowly: "Everything is painful, and you can only overcome it by yourself... Miss Mu, I believe you will go back, and then you and I will go see the mountains of peonies."
Mu Yanqing then raised her head, looked at Su Ling faintly and said, "Su Ling, please remember what you said..."
After saying these words, the atmosphere in Qixuan's room finally relaxed a lot.
Mu Yanqing suddenly smiled coquettishly and said, "I'm thirsty, please pour me a cup of tea."
Su Ling said: "The teapot and teacups are right next to you, why don't you come by yourself?"
Mu Yanqing said angrily: "It's not you! I feel pain in my right shoulder now and I don't dare to use force at all."
Su Ling shook her head helplessly, poured a cup of tea, walked to her and handed it to her: "Drink..."
Unexpectedly, Mu Yanqing stood up suddenly without warning, opened her red lips and bit Su Ling's right shoulder hard. With one bite, Su Ling's right shoulder immediately started bleeding.
Su Ling frowned in pain and said loudly: "You oiran lady, you are crazy, why did you bite me!"
Mu Yanqing looked successful, tilted her head and said with a smile: "I'm giving this back to you! Who asked you to bite me first..."
Su Ling was speechless for a moment, and after being stunned for a long time, he said helplessly: "Alas! Don't all the women in the Jin Dynasty like to bite people for fun?"
Mu Yanqing let out a sigh and asked curiously: "Could it be that some other lady has bitten you?"
