The red color gradually fades and the green color gradually flourishes. Whether it is the courtyard or the street, everything is the same.
After lunch, the three people who said goodbye to Fang Fu and Tang Juan crossed the Luoshui Floating Bridge together and walked together on the not-so-wide streets to the east of Nanshi.
Cui Wan and Qin Qing saw that Yang Zhaoxi was not talking about sex and was absent-minded. They thought that he was still angry about the joke in the morning, so they stopped taking the initiative to pay attention to him. Instead, they chattered about their favorite headwear and clothes.
This gave Yang Chaoxi the opportunity to immerse himself in thought. Things that were tumbling in his mind were becoming increasingly clear.
Counting the time, it was already the fifth day after coming down from Mang Mountain. Yang Chaoxi, who had promised Gongsun Guanzhu to help Luo Rou's violent death, only then understood clearly: if the murderer is caught, the truth will be revealed
Dabai's murder case may just be a cover for a certain force in the city to attract everyone's attention.
The matter seems to be over. After all, Wuhoupu, which belongs to Gongmen, has begun to close the case. The murderer has been brought to justice and justice has been served. But in fact, the matter has just begun. Leaving aside a layer of scum on the water, the truth is still lying quietly at the bottom of the water, waiting.
People go pick it up and reveal the secret.
When passing by the East Gate of Yongtai Fang, Cui Wan and Qin Qing suddenly stopped. The tall Zhulacifang Gate blocked the slightly tilted sun and cast a dark green shadow on the ground.
Yang Zhaoxi was completely unaware, and walked straight away for another seven or eight steps before he was awakened by the voices of the two women. He quickly turned his head and saw Cui Wan and Tan Qing with their arms crossed, as if they were saying goodbye. Then he turned back and apologized.
: "I was lost in thought for a moment, so I'm sorry, Junior Sister Qin! Is your home located in this square?"
Although Qin Qing looked slightly angry, his voice was still pleasant: "Huh! Brother Chong Lingzi is not thinking about anything. He is clearly eager to pay homage to his future father-in-law! My home is in Yongtaifang. When you finish your business,
Remember to come to me, I'm waiting to learn how to 'cross the river with a reed'!"
Cui Wan couldn't help but blush again and spat: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth! Let's talk about him. Why do you always want to take me with you? I just invited him to stay in my Cui Mansion for a few days and talk about something."
The case is not about imprisoning him, so there is no need to rush to snatch people away, right?"
Tan Qing gave her a grimace in return, stopped arguing, and jumped into the square door. After walking more than ten steps, he couldn't help turning around and waving goodbye, but saw that handsome figure, who had been with him for a long time.
Senior Sister Cui was far away, and the bright color on her face faded instantly, and her eyes were full of loneliness...
Cui Mansion is located in Luxinfang, with tall red doors and a majestic screen. The five-entry courtyard surrounded by blue bricks is full of halls, verandas, ponds, pavilions, flowers and trees, all of which are neat and exquisite. Yang Chaoxi first arrived at Cui Mansion.
, there is a clear understanding that "when Hou Men enters, it is as deep as the sea".
Cui Wan knocked on the black-lacquered door and was greeted by a servant: "Sixth Miss, you are coming back, why don't you ask someone to send you a message? So that we can drive an oil-walled truck over and take you back to your home. Wouldn't that save you money?"
Did you miss the journey? If my mistress finds out, she will scold me again."
"Second Brother Qian, you don't welcome me back home! How about I leave?" Cui Wan's voice was soft, but it clearly had the arrogance of an official lady, which surprised Yang Chaoxi.
"Sixth Miss, don't blame me! It's my servant who can't speak and should be beaten!" As expected, Qian Er raised his right hand and slapped his mouth twice. He still turned a blind eye to Yang Chaoxi who was standing aside.
Cui Wan frowned slightly, knowing that these servants were the most snobbish. Xu saw that Yang Chaoxi was wearing ordinary clothes, so he refused to pay attention to it, so he cleared his throat and said: "Second Brother Qian, this Young Master Yang is half as good as my swordsman."
Master, please arrange a place to live and fruit cakes for him first, and then come back and talk to me."
Qian Er responded, then made an invitation gesture and led Yang Zhaoxi through the corridor from the east to a small guest room. The furnishings in the room were simple, nothing more than a table, chairs, screens, and couches, but the workmanship was fine.
, extraordinary and comparable to other homes. Even the grilles on the doors and windows are much more complicated.
After Yang Chaoxi thanked him, he put his luggage on the couch. Then he took off his boots and socks, sat down on the couch, calmed down, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and began to practice his daily exercises.
Ever since he came down from the mountain and entered the city, many people and things had come one after another. The inner alchemy technique that Yang Chaoxi had practiced since he was a child had been neglected for several days, which had already made him feel restless.
To cultivate Taoism and practice martial arts, one must persevere and practice diligently. If he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, how could he achieve the Tao? At this time, he finally stopped temporarily, and he immediately cleared away his distracting thoughts and concentrated on practicing.
After two sticks of incense, the acquired Qi in Yang Zhaoxi's body was like a vast ocean of water, rolling up turbulent waves in the three Dantians from time to time. The little Zhou Tian movement had long been very proficient, and his limbs were wrapped in the overflowing acquired Qi, tingling.
Comfortable.
The golden beams of spring light passed through the garden trees, passed through the window lattice, and shone on him, giving off a faint layer of white light. The pores all over his body opened up, as if they were quietly grabbing warm energy from this bright light.
!
Yang Zhaoxi closed his eyes tightly, but did not fall asleep. The spiritual stage was completely clear, and he seemed to be used to this magical scene happening to him.
This method of collecting qi was taught by Master Wu Tianshi, who was a friend of Wang Nian. He usually collected a wisp of purple qi from the east in the early morning. But he gradually discovered that around noon, when the sun is scorching, that kind of "sun qi" is also
It can be harvested and transformed into acquired Qi.
However, yesterday I learned from Old Beggar Long in Tiankou that the "Qi of the Sun" he thought was actually called "Qi of Sunlight Flame".
In addition, there are various natural gases such as "Moonlight Essence Qi", "Thunderbolt Qi", "Swinging Wind Qi", "Dan Water Qi", etc. They are external Qi that Taoist and demon cultivators can use for their own use. Since I
You can harvest "Sunday Yan Qi", and presumably other external Qi, you can also try it on that day...
Just as he was immersed in himself, a series of rough knocks on the door sounded, forcing him to escape from the state of "contemplation". Then he dispersed the inner alchemy technique and returned the vast acquired Qi to the three Dantian. He opened his eyes,
Two faint white lights shot out for a few inches before gradually dissipating.
There was a little noise outside the door, and an arrogant male voice said: "The man Wan Mei brought back is in this guest room? Are you sure he didn't come out?!"
Another male voice spoke in a humble tone: "Master Wang, this Young Master Yang was personally entertained by the servants, so he was placed in this room. I heard from the servants who came and went that they never saw him out and about." The voice that responded was Qian Er.
.
The prince seemed a little angry: "Where did you come from? I knocked on the door for a long time and you dared to ignore it..."
"Perhaps I'm asleep. I don't know if you, Prince Wang, are here. I'll wait until the servants come down before knocking..." Qian Er explained and patted the door a few more times.
The prince seemed to be very angry, he raised his foot and kicked towards the door.
At this time, there was a "squeak" and the door opened from the inside. A young man with a handsome face and an indifferent temperament stared at his raised left foot expressionlessly: "Who are you? You are disturbing my rest."
The prince looked arrogant: "I am Wang Chuo, an aide of the Cui Mansion. The eldest uncle of the clan, Wang Wei, once served as Shangshu Youcheng. The second uncle, Wang Jin, led the Taiwei Palace envoy and was granted the title of Duke of Qi... I am Wan Mei's distant cousin.
Boy! Where did you come from?"
Yang Chaoxi saw that he was a free-spirited second generation ancestor, and he was still a guest in Cui Mansion, so he didn't want to get involved with him, so he said calmly: "I am Yang Chaoxi, a warrior from Mangshan. I wonder why Brother Wang came here?"
When Wang Chuo saw that he didn't show any respect at all, his eyes froze and he said in a cold voice: "I'm here to tell you, get out of Cui Mansion now and I will let you live. If you pester Wan Mei again in the future, don't blame me.
Young Master is ruthless!"
Only then did Yang Chaoxi understand that this aggressive second generation ancestor was here for Cui Wan. And judging from his tone, it seemed that Cui Wan had long been regarded as a forbidden concubine and she was not allowed to have any involvement with the man next to her.
Most of these second-generation ancestors are arrogant, selfish, and extremely narrow-minded, but they don't know how good they are, so they actually come to him and want to scare him away. Yang Chaoxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Beauty is indeed a disaster!
He naturally understood what Cui Wan meant. However, it was not his current status that allowed him to join such a wealthy family.
At this time, seeing Wang Chuo's aggressive posture, he could only clasp his fists and say with an attitude of calming down the trouble: "Brother Wang is serious, Senior Sister Cui and I are just making friends with each other through martial arts and sparring with each other. Since Brother Wang doesn't like it, I will go and fight with him now."
She said goodbye."
Wang Chuo saw that he had already surrendered when he spoke, and he suddenly felt proud: "You, get out now! I'll tell you about Wan'er..." Before he could finish his words, a sudden strong force hit his heart, and his feet left the ground.
, actually flew backwards.
"Plop!" With a sound, Wang Chuo was slapped in the courtyard two feet away. His limbs were in severe pain, and the dust splashed all over his face. From the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the eyes not far away, which looked like a smile but not a smile. Then.
There was a "bang" sound, and the door was closed tightly again, as if no one had ever come out.
Wang Chuo looked ferocious. He was helped up by Qian Er who ran from the side. His mouth was trembling and he couldn't finish a sentence. Suddenly he slapped Qian Er on the face: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, this dog?"
This kid knows how to punch and kick?!"
Qian Er covered his face with one hand and murmured for a long time before saying: "He, he...his name is Yang Shaoxia, and naturally he knows some fists and kicks..."
"Pah" was another slap, hitting the other side of Qian Er's face that he didn't have time to cover. Wang Chuo shouted angrily: "I want him to die!!"
"Wang Chuo, what are you doing here?" A haunting voice sounded coldly behind Wang Chuo. He turned around, and not surprisingly, saw Cui Wan's cold and pretty face. But in his heart, he dreamed that one day, he would
The hot scene of Cui Wan entering the room and rubbing her body wantonly.
When Wang Chuo came back from his thoughts, he saw Cui Wan's disgusted expression. It turned out that he was too involved, and saliva dripped down the corner of his mouth without knowing it, and he quickly wiped it away with his sleeves.
At this time, she recalled the humiliating experience just now, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Mei Wan! Where did you know this boy named Yang? A village man from the mountains! He is barbaric and vulgar! I wanted to make friends with him, but he refused to do so.
That’s all, you actually attacked me for no reason...beat me! Qian Er is here! If you don’t believe me, ask him!"
Qian Er said with a mournful face: "It's absolutely true! Miss Sixth, the Young Master Yang you met has a very hot temper! If we don't agree with each other, we'll get into a fight... Look at my face, it's all swollen!"
Cui Wan's face was filled with uncertainty: "I understand, Brother Qian. You can take Wang Chuo to get the medicine first! I'll ask him soon." After that, he walked up to the door and knocked on the door. Within five breaths,
, then entered the guest room, and the door was closed again.
Wang Chuo patted the dust on his body and showed a smile as if he was succeeding: "You bitch, you can't get along with me, Wang Chuo. Huh! I have been very resourceful since I was a child, and now I can help you in Wan Mei's heart with just a few words.
Plant a thorn and wait to eat the head of the steak!"
After saying that, the humiliation just now was swept away, and he actually became a little proud again. He couldn't help but turn his face and looked at Qian Er with a smile: "You kid is very responsive! Yes, yes, use this little bit of silver to eat."
liquor!"
Qian Er happily accepted it, and the two slaps he received suddenly no longer hurt, and he said with a smile: "Young Master Wang is so generous! How can he be compared to the people from the mountains and wild villages!" As he spoke, he had put away the broken silver and carried it with his arm.
Wang dropped out and went to another small courtyard dedicated to the residence of staff.
In the guest room, Yang Chaoxi's ears twitched slightly. Hearing that the two people outside the door had gone far away, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Wan'er, the guest in your house is a true young hero! He came to fight for you with his bare hands."
Cui Wan's face turned red: "Chong Lingzi, if you talk like this again, I will get angry! He is just a distant relative of the Cui family. He has been uneducated and indolent since he was a child. He is only related to Taiwei Palace.
As a result of Wang Jin's family ties, he was recommended to the government, given the title of a staff member, and received some money every month.
Apart from fighting cocks and lackeys, this man was sleeping on flowers and sleeping on willows every day. The year before last, I didn’t know what happened and he went crazy. He ran to my father and wanted to marry me to him, but he scolded me. But he didn’t give up on his evil intentions. Later, I met him occasionally.
I was a little disrespectful in my words."
Yang Zhaoxi nodded: "It's not uncommon to see such a dandy in Luoyang City. It's just bad luck today that I bumped into him. Now that the relationship is over, it's a good idea not to leave."
Cui Wan suddenly stood up, opened his arms, and blocked the door: "He is a guest, and you are also a guest, why should you stay away? What you meant is that you blame me for not being well received, so that he rushed me?"
"
Seeing that she was getting serious, Yang Zhaoxi stood up and said with a smile: "You're just kidding, you are serious! Since I am determined to travel around the world, how can I be afraid of such a role? Since I am a guest in your house, I don't want to make a hasty move and end up supporting myself.
You're just causing trouble."
Cui Wan smiled again, turned around and sat down: "That's right. I just went to say hello to my parents and had a few words with my mother. My father and some old staff in the mansion went out to do some business. I'm back today.
It’s definitely not too early. So if it’s tomorrow tomorrow, if it’s too late, it’s the day after tomorrow. I’ll definitely be able to invite one or two of dad’s most valued staff to come over and discuss the big plan with Yang Shaoxia!”
Yang Chaoxi clasped her fists and said with a smile: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Cui Zhuang for your help in advance!"
After saying this, the two looked at each other and laughed.
