The sedan chair creaked, Su Ling's eyes were covered with black linen, and he once again felt like he was being plunged into endless darkness.
To be honest, he really didn't like this feeling.
Maybe he has claustrophobia. Maybe no one likes to face the dark.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Ling felt his body suddenly stagnate.
The covering in front of my eyes was removed.
Boning picked up the sedan curtain and asked Su Ling to go out.
Su Ling slowly stepped out of the sedan chair and felt a bone-piercing cold wind blowing. This feeling of coldness all over the body was really unpleasant.
But as soon as he got out of the sedan, he felt something was wrong.
This is not a bad place, but it is at the intersection of Zhuque Street.
The bustling Zhuque Street during the day actually seemed quite lonely and desolate under the cold wind and dark night.
There was no one on the empty street.
Only the damp bluestone road extends deep into the night.
Some of the banners outside some stores were hung high and were blown up by the wind, constantly fluttering and making a rustling sound.
Except for the occasional glimmer of red lanterns in front of a few mansions, there was no light at all.
Lidya Su was a little confused.
Boning hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Su, I can only send you here. After all, I have a brother there who is injured and has some urgent business matters to deal with. I'm sorry to be with you!"
Su Ling nodded, and the two said goodbye.
The long dark street, the cold wind whimpers.
Su Ling walked hard against the wind. Even though the cloak could somewhat shield him from the wind and cold, it could only be done temporarily. As time went on, Su Ling felt cold all over.
He felt as if a little ice had condensed on his eyebrows and eyelashes.
It's just that the long street is dark and seems to have no end.
As Su Ling was walking, he suddenly heard a faint sound on the roof on the left.
At first, Su Ling thought it might be some stray cats that climbed to the roof, couldn't stand the cold wind, and fled in panic.
But the noise started coming from time to time after Su Ling heard it.
Moreover, it seemed to be following Su Ling's movements.
If he is fast, the sound will be fast; if he is slow, the sound will be slow.
kindness?
Lidya Su immediately became alert.
This is definitely not a stray cat.
Su Ling tugged hard on the mink fur collar on her coat twice, and under the cover of the fur collar, she peeked through the gap toward the row of roofs on the left.
Sure enough, there seemed to be a figure moving with him on the dark roof.
The body is as light as a swallow, and the shape is like a ghost.
Again?
Su Ling suddenly thought of those ten ghost-faced men.
If a few more come, I'm afraid Su Ling won't be able to escape safely tonight.
Su Ling remained calm and walked away, secretly staring at the figure on the roof.
His right hand slowly grasped the dagger at his waist.
In front of him was a fork in the road, leading to a dark alley.
Su Ling didn't hesitate any longer, raised his body suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, he was already submerged into the alley.
The figure on the roof lost sight of it in an instant.
As if he hesitated for a moment, an afterimage also fell into the alley.
Through the seemingly absent light, a person suddenly floated slowly down in the void.
Standing silently in the alley.
The man was dressed in smart clothes, but surprisingly, he was not dressed in black like an ordinary night walker.
Instead, he was dressed in red clothes that danced like flames.
After the man landed, he looked towards the depths of the alley with some doubts. He saw that deep in the alley, the night was rolling, and there was no trace of Su Ling at all.
I looked to the left, right and behind me, but I couldn't find Su Ling.
He stamped his feet in frustration.
At this moment, Su Ling's voice suddenly came from nowhere in the darkness: "Your Excellency, are you looking for me?"
The man in red clothes was shocked, and suddenly he felt the sound of metal breaking through the air coming from behind him.
The man in red clothes knew that if he turned around, Su Ling's lightning strike would hit his chest.
With a loud scolding, the man suddenly took three steps forward, jumped up again, and a fiery red shadow galloped forward several feet.
Su Ling missed a hit, so Naken gave the man a chance to breathe, and flashed the dagger in his right hand with a cold light.
A cold light pierced the man in red again.
The dagger was like lightning, and there was a faint sound of tearing in the air.
The man in red clothes had cold eyes and clear eyes. The long sword in his hand suddenly crossed in front of him.
Only a sound of "Dang——" was heard.
Su Ling's dagger was stabbing the man's long sword, and there was a crisp impact sound.
Su Ling was stunned for a moment. The man in red flipped his jade wrist lightly and got rid of Su Ling's attack. Then the long sword was like a white snake spitting out a message, directly touching Su Ling's choked throat.
Su Ling did not panic and threw the dagger towards the ground.
With the sound of a dagger, Su Ling sat down on the ground as if he was cheating and said, "I can't beat you... I'll give up!"
The man's face was slightly red, his lips parted slightly, and he spat at Su Ling: "How can there be such a scoundrel in a fight?"
Su Ling relaxed her, suddenly rolled over on the spot, twisted his body, and made a big Huanglong turn. His body was as fast as lightning, and he was dodging behind the man in red.
He stretched out a hand, gestured with a sword, pressed it under the snowy neck of the man in red, and said with a smile: "How about... you still lose!"
The man in red stamped his feet angrily, then suddenly puffed up his chest and said coquettishly: "Su Ling, you dare to hurt me? Are you willing to do it?"
Su Ling then pulled away and took two steps back, and said with a smile: "I can't bear to hurt anyone, but I don't dare to hurt Sister Mu, right?"
In front of Su Ling, the woman in red clothes bent down and giggled when she heard this.
It turns out that this is not the killer, but the oiran from Banan City who has not been seen for many days, and the master of Jingnan Red Peony Shadow - Mu Yanqing!
Just as Su Ling was about to speak, a sudden burst of cold air hit her heart and lungs, causing her to gasp for air and cough uncontrollably.
Mu Yanqing was startled at first, then walked quickly to Su Ling and asked with concern: "Su Ling, what do you think? What's wrong with you? I've never seen you so weak before."
Su Ling coughed for a while, waved his hand and said, "It's a long story, but why did you come to Longtai, Kyoto?"
Mu Yanqing smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes met Su Ling's, and she said softly, half truthfully and half falsely: "I miss you, why don't I come to see you? I said, Su Ling, we will meet again soon."
See you again!"
Su Ling was suffocated, not knowing how to answer these words.
It was Mu Yanqing who covered her mouth and giggled first.
Seeing her smile, Su Ling scratched her head and laughed.
After laughing, Mu Yanqing said: "It's extremely cold here. It's not the place to talk. If anything happens to your small body, I can't afford it. Can you find a place? Let's talk."
"
Lidya Su muttered: "I'm small...you haven't tried..."
Mu Yanqing didn't hear it very seriously, thinking that Su Ling was telling him something else, so she glared at him and said, "What are you talking about that is shameful?"
Only then did Su Ling roll his eyes and said, "If you don't like it, let's go!"
Mu Yanqing shook her head and said, "Your place is in such a bad state! There's a big man snoring all day long, so I don't want to go there."
When Mu Yanqing said this, she felt like she had to say something and hurriedly covered her lips.
Su Ling didn't hear it for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Then I really don't know where to go?"
Mu Yanqing giggled and said: "I have a place to go, you can come with me!"
After saying that, he actually walked up, took Su Ling's hand, and started to go.
Su Ling was suddenly held by her hand, and her heart was shocked. She was about to withdraw her hand, but suddenly she felt that this big girl was nothing, so why should she be so coquettish?
On the long street, in the dark night and cold wind.
The young man let the girl in fiery red clothes hold his hand and walked all the way.
The two walked for a while and saw a three-story attic in front of them.
Green tiles and flying rafts, exquisite luxury.
Su Ling saw the tall red lantern on the door, which had a faint hint of beauty.
There is a plaque in the middle of the attic. The font on it is all green, and it is exactly three characters: "Bi Jian Pavilion".
Su Ling had spent some time in Kyoto, but she didn't know there was such a place to go.
Mu Yanqing looked back and smiled: "Do you know where this is?"
"Could it be the Oiran Feng Yuechang again?" Su Ling said with a smile.
"Bah! I must see you in that kind of place?" Mu Yanqing spat at him and said: "This is an elegant place. Many literati and poets in Beijing drink tea and discuss poetry here.
, play chess. Of course, this is also my girl Hong Shaoying’s territory.”
She actually didn't hide anything from Su Ling.
Su Ling nodded.
Mu Yanqing took Su Ling's hand and walked up to knock on the door.
After a while, a girl opened the door holding a red lantern in her hand.
The moment the door opened, Mu Yanqing slowly pulled her hand out.
Seeing that it was Mu Yanqing, the lady hurriedly said: "The young master is back..."
This is Mu Yanqing's request. After all, this is Longtai, Kyoto, thousands of miles away from Jingnan, so Mu Yanqing does not allow them to call him the shadow master to avoid being exposed.
The girl saw a young gentleman standing behind Mu Yanqing, with a good appearance. There was a little hesitation on his face.
Mu Yanqing said calmly: "I told you to prepare food and wine. I have guests to entertain, are you ready?"
Only then did the girl know that the person her own photographer was entertaining was this handsome young man. She suddenly covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The room on the third floor is already ready, do you want an extra brocade quilt?"
If necessary, I will prepare it right away."
Her words made Su Ling and Mu Yanqing both blush.
Mu Yanqing said hurriedly: "You... I'm afraid I've spoiled you... and you still don't stand aside... Don't block the way!"
As he said that, he walked into the attic first.
Su Ling followed her in with some embarrassment.
As they entered the building, they saw that there were actually four or five girls in the hall on the first floor, all dressed in gauze clothes and with graceful figures. When they saw the two people coming in, they all smiled with their mouths covered, and their beautiful eyes were looking forward to it.
He looked at Su Ling from head to toe endlessly.
Mu Yanqing deliberately made a cold expression, ignored them, and walked towards the stairs.
Su Ling was so embarrassed that she had no choice but to lower her head and follow Mu Yanqing towards the stairs as if running away.
After the two people went upstairs, the four or five girls started to giggle.
When I got to the third floor, I saw that there was only one big room. Although the windows were closed, they were all covered with red gauze curtains and rolled gauze.
There is a small table in the middle. There are several copper plates on the table, which are filled with exquisite dishes.
Further back is a large nanmu couch, surrounded by fragrant curtains and gauze, which is extremely beautiful.
When Su Ling entered the room, she felt a strange fragrance blowing towards her face. Although the fragrance was strong, it did not make people feel short of breath.
It turned out that there was an exquisite carved table next to the bed, with a golden beast on it, and a few incense sticks. The smoke was faint, and that was where the strange fragrance came from.
Mu Yanqing seemed to be very satisfied with the layout here. She nodded and turned to the girls who were following her: "You all go back to your rooms! If you don't have me, sleep well!"
The girl smiled and said: "I obey the young master's instructions. Let's go to bed now. The young master is tired, so he should sleep well..."
Mu Yanqing's face turned red and she opened her hand to strike. The girl smiled and quickly backed away.
Mu Yanqing then took off the red cloak that was covering the outside, smiled at Su Ling and said, "Sit down first, it's warm in this room, please take off your big cloak as well."
Su Ling nodded and came to sit on the futon in front of the table.
But Mu Yanqing walked gracefully behind a large screen inside and said softly: "Turn your face away! Don't peek!"
Su Ling was startled, knowing what she was going to do. She couldn't help but blush, and turned her head away. She didn't look at the screen, but her heart was beating non-stop.
There was a rustling sound, and suddenly I heard Mu Yanqing say softly: "Okay, turn around!"
Su Ling turned around, but was suddenly stunned.
But I saw candles flickering under the red gauze curtain.
Mu Yanqing had already changed into a fiery red tulle, with a graceful figure and curvy figures. She was having a great time together.
The hair on the temples was lazily tilted to the side, casually tied with a gold hairpin. It showed a natural grace.
The candlelight dimly penetrated the gauze, and there was only a small coat inside.
Putting it on the body makes people's hearts flutter.
Mu Yanqing has a graceful appearance, with snow-white skin, fragrant collarbones, fragrant shoulders, lotus-rooted arms and green fingers, and a slender waist and jade feet.
Under the red silk candle, she looks like a fairy, with a breathtaking charm.
Su Ling couldn't help but feel distracted, and quickly lowered his head.
Mu Yanqing, however, was generous. She suddenly leaned over Su Ling's ear and whispered softly: "Are you shy? Are you afraid that I won't eat it?"
Su Ling smiled awkwardly and said, "No way, no way..."
Mu Yanqing giggled and stopped teasing him. The fragrance passed by, her gauze clothes swayed lightly, and she sat opposite Su Ling.
He held his snowy cheeks with a pair of jade hands, looked at Su Ling Yingying, and said with a sweet smile: "Try these dishes, are they still to your taste?"
Su Ling was really hungry, so she picked up the wooden chopsticks and picked up some vegetables. As soon as she took her mouth, she felt extremely delicious.
Su Ling thought to himself, it doesn't matter what happens to him for a while, just let him have a good time.
After thinking about it, no matter what, I will happily eat it.
Mu Yanqing covered her mouth and laughed, picked up the jar of wine again, slapped off the seal, poured a bowl of wine herself, and poured another one, pushed it to Su Ling and said, "Don't just eat it, be careful not to choke, this wine
But the best daughter is red!"
Su Ling nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then picked up the wine.
But he saw Mu Yanqing holding her own wine with her slender fingers and saying, "Long time no see! Su Ling!"
The two glasses of wine touched each other lightly, and both of them drank it down in one gulp.
The two of them ate some more food and drank some wine. Mu Yanqing then said, "Aren't you curious, what am I doing in Kyoto?"
Su Ling chuckled and said, "Didn't you just say that you missed me?"
"Bah! What a big face! What do you miss? Do you still want to bite each other? I have an important matter here this time." Mu Yanqing said.
Su Ling said seriously: "What's the matter?"
Mu Yanqing's eyes lost the look of a son and daughter, and she said sternly: "My Hong Shaoying's Fenying Duo in Longtai was sold, and Fen Duo's hidden restaurant was also raided, and I lost more than ten sisters!"
When Su Ling heard this, he was shocked and said: "Then why do you have to go to danger yourself and come to a place where right and wrong are right and wrong?"
Mu Yanqing said calmly: "I am the shadow master of Red Peony Shadow! Except for such a big event, can I come?"
Su Ling said calmly: "Have you ever found out who the traitor is? And who copied your Shadow Rudder?"
Mu Yanqing nodded and said: "Although it took some trouble, we still found the traitor! He is the deputy shadow master of Longtai Shadow Helm, named Qin Xiang! She has been in Longtai for a long time, and she knows that we are red
Shaoying has many secrets. She secretly informed Xiao Yuanche’s Shadow Division, and we were unprepared, so we were caught off guard."
Su Ling said hurriedly: "Have you ever caught the person named Qin Xiang? And who was the leader of the Shadow Division person who copied your Shadow Rudder?"
Mu Yanqing shook his head and said: "I have been investigating secretly for many days. Although I have roughly found Qin Xiang's hiding place, the Shadow Department is heavily guarded. I have made several attempts, but Qin Xiang ran away! As for checking my shadow
The one who steers the ship and takes the lead is Bonin."
Su Ling took a breath of cold air, and Boning's sinister face appeared in his mind. He suddenly stood up, grabbed Mu Yanqing's hand and said, "Don't delay, come with me quickly!"
Mu Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then let him hold his hand, but said with a smile on her face: "What are you doing? Why are you leaving?"
Su Ling said anxiously: "You just said that Qin Xiang is the deputy shadow master of Fenyingduo. I must have seen your true face, and do you know what a ruthless person Boning is? I'm afraid you are already here
Is it no longer safe? If you are identified by Na Qinxiang again, will you still have a way to survive? "
Mu Yanqing took a deep look at Su Ling and saw that he had a worried look on his face, which did not seem to be fake. He suddenly sighed and said: "So someone cares about me like this? It's been a long time...Su Ling, you
Do you really care about my safety?"
"I..." Su Ling was speechless for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "I only know that you must come with me now!"
With tenderness in Mu Yanqing's eyes, she picked up a bottle of wine with her bare hands, her neck covered with snow, drank it in one gulp, and said quietly: "Su Ling, if I am really captured by that Boning... what will you do?
?”
Su Ling didn't even think about it, and said word by word, very truthfully: "If you are caught, I will fight into the Shadow Division to save you even if I risk my life!"
Mu Yanqing's heart was touched by his words. He took a deep look at Su Ling, suddenly smiled and said: "Silly! Don't worry, it's very safe here. Qin Xiang doesn't know about this place.
Please feel free to drink with me!"
Su Ling just had a meal.
Mu Yanqing's eyes widened, and she realized that Su Ling was still holding her hand. She couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart and her face turned red.
Su Ling followed her eyes and realized that he had been a little rash just now. He pulled his hand back as if he was being electrocuted, coughed awkwardly and said, "Then this is not a permanent place."
Mu Yanqing sighed quietly and seemed to be talking to himself: "Don't worry, I have been through many ups and downs in the past many years. I have seen many murders and bloodshed, many lives and many deaths. This incident is just a small matter!
Don’t worry, I’m the host of Red Peony Shadow. If I can’t handle this matter well, I won’t be the host of Lao Shizi Shadow.”
Su Ling nodded, still a little worried and said: "It's better to be careful? If you are really in danger, tell them that you know me, and I am also worshiped by Xiao Mansion! They will always sell me some face."
Mu Yanqing looked at Su Ling, her eyes full of ambiguity, and suddenly she came close to Su Ling's eyes.
The two of them were only half an inch apart. Su Ling felt a warm fragrance coming straight into his nose.
Mu Yanqing spoke softly and giggled: "I mention you? How can I say it? Who am I to you..."
As she spoke, she stretched out the jade finger of her right hand and gently touched the spot where she bit Su Ling's chest.
Su Ling felt a numbness and hurriedly lowered her head. She was so stunned that she could not speak.
He secretly thought, this Mu Yanqing is really a charming fairy.
Seeing that his limbs were stiff and he was sitting upright, Mu Yanqing giggled, then sat up gracefully and said, "Why don't you tell them that we bit each other?"
Just as Su Ling was about to speak, Mu Yanqing suddenly waved her hand and said, "I'm just talking nonsense... I'm really bored. Drink! Drink!"
Su Ling shook his head, this Mu Yanqing had him under control.
The two drank a few more drinks.
Mu Yanqing said, "Tell me about you. I see that you are a little weak now. How could you be like this?"
Su Ling didn't want to say at first how Mu Yanqing would agree, so he came over to tease him again.
Su Ling's head was as big as a bucket, so he had to apologize a few times before telling the whole story about the attack on Changjie.
When Mu Yanqing heard that Su Ling had been stabbed in the left chest and almost lost his life, and the stab wound even hurt his heart and lungs, he couldn't help but turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Su Ling, let me see if it's serious or not."
!”
Su Ling choked, then blushed and said, "This is not good, I'm injured on the left chest. This... I have to take off my upper body clothes... How inconvenient!"
Mu Yanqing saw him being so coquettish, so she just took a sip of wine, leaning against the table, her lips slightly opened, a trickle of clear wine drew a clear line, and slowly flowed into her lips. The snowy neck
He moved slightly a few times.
Under the red candle, the charm is like an illusion.
She seemed to be a little drunk, and said with a silly smile: "I don't hesitate to watch it!"
Su Ling felt like he was being pardoned, and then said: "You, a girl from a girl's family, drink so much wine, even more than I do, it's not good after all!"
Mu Yanqing lightly pursed her red lips and said coquettishly: "Do you want you to take care of me?"
Su Ling shrugged, poured himself a sip, and drank it all in one gulp.
Su Ling suddenly remembered something and said, "Sister Mu, how much do you know about Liangxianwu?"
Mu Yanqing saw that he was busy, so she stopped her expression and said calmly: "No more, no less? If you have anything to ask, just tell me!"
Su Ling nodded and said, "I wonder if Sister Mu has seen the prophecy of Liangxianwu?"
Mu Yanqing nodded and said: "I have seen some, but those things are really difficult to understand and very troublesome. Even if they are cracked, they are mostly confusing things and of little use."
Su Ling nodded and said, "Do you have paper and pen?"
Mu Yanqing nodded, and then Yingying stood up, bringing with her a faint fragrance.
She might be a little drunk, but her graceful figure swayed a little, and her eyes were full of spring, swaying.
Su Ling was a little embarrassed and didn't know whether to help her or not.
Fortunately, Mu Yanqing stabilized her figure, walked to the couch, opened the drawer on the side of the small table, and took out paper and pen.
Then he walked gracefully to Su Ling's side and stood right next to Su Ling.
I don't know if he really drank too much or what, but his delicate body softened and she leaned against Su Ling's right arm.
Su Ling's right arm was touching her chest, and she felt soft and soft. Su Ling's whole arm seemed to be petrified, and she did not dare to move at all.
Mu Yanqing seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, her eyes were soft and her lips whispered softly in his ear: "You said...I'll write..."
