Squeak!
The window was closed casually.
The plaintive singing stopped in the room and no longer flew far away.
A pretty and lovely woman turned around, with a silver bell dangling on her wrist and a smile like a flower: "There is forbidden music in the city these days, and the sound is causing trouble for people to hear it."
She glanced at the singer holding the pipa behind the screen, and said angrily: "Who allowed you to sing at this time? You're going to die!"
The singer stopped her strings and remained silent.
Not far from the window, a woman with a delicate temperament sat. The dizzy eyes with two points of sadness, a touch of delicate face withered flowers, and no words, already made me feel pity for him.
Hearing the sound, he said, "Don't be surprised, Miss Ling'er. I was in a state of uncertainty, so I sang the song."
Xiang Ling'er looked at her, her eyes filled with joy: "How could I blame you, sister Xiuzhang? You are so good-looking, and everything you do is right."
Compared to her enthusiasm, Liu Xiuzhang was obviously much colder. He only said: "I shouldn't have come to this place."
Xiang Ling'er turned around and sat next to her. She tilted her head and looked at her delicate face: "When you say 'this place', do you mean Linzi or Sanfenxiang Tower?"
"You shouldn't have come." Liu Xiuzhang said.
"No, no, it's all wrong." Xiang Ling'er shook her head again and again: "If we talk about Linzi, why shouldn't you come? Is this three hundred miles away from Linzi City, whose surname is Yan? If there is hatred, if there is resentment, it is not the reason. . When we are born in this world, we should ask others to avoid me, not me to avoid others."
Liu Xiuzhang said nothing.
Xiang Ling'er added: "If we talk about brothels...men can go there, but women can't? There are a lot of butt sellers in the world. Did you know that in the Snow Country, there is a special brothel for men?"
At this point, she curled her lips: "Unfortunately, most of them are in poor shape and of poor quality."
"I don't have any grudges or grudges. It's just that the old scene is still in my mind. Why hurt myself?" Liu Xiuzhang said: "As for the brothels you mentioned... Since ancient times, there are some who visit brothels, some who don't, and some who buy and sell skins and flesh. There are also those who are not contaminated. It doesn’t matter whether they are men or women, I’m just the latter. Miss Ling’er, you may be right, but we are different.”
Xiang Ling'er said "Oh": "I understand."
"You want to say that you are on a different path from us." She folded her hands and pressed on the armrest, resting her chin on her forearm. She blinked her watery eyes and looked at Liu Xiuzhang and said, "But now only we can Help you, what should I do, little beauty?"
She is cute, cute and smart, especially that perfectly fitting smile at the corner of her mouth, which is hard to make people feel bad.
Liu Xiuzhang is a typical thin beauty, with a slender figure and a slim waist that can be held.
But when she sat on the chair, she never looked weak.
A woman with such a delicate temperament seems like she should be sitting alone in a boudoir, crying in front of the mirror.
However, she is now sitting in the Sanfenxiang Building in Linzi City, looking at Xiang Ling'er, who is ranked among the top fragrances, and there is no trace of timidity in her eyes.
"You are not helping me." She said softly: "You are investing in me. You are not the only one who can invest in me, but I happen to be talking to you. This is just a business, very pure and very simple. If you don't think it's profitable, Tu, why would you invite me here?"
Xiang Ling'er slowly sat back, put away her joking expression, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, your Liu family doesn't seem to be a good investment target. As far as I know, most of the people who invest in the Fufeng Liu family are All the money has been lost.”
"The same thing is..." Liu Xiuzhang said: "In Qi State, you Sanfenxiang Tower is not a significant investor. There are not many targets that you can choose."
"You convinced me." Xiang Ling'er stretched out her index finger and lightly touched her chin, which was as smooth as gelatin.
Probably trying to show a domineering aura.
But Liu Xiuzhang just frowned and looked at her.
Xiang Ling'er retracted her finger without embarrassment and said with a dry smile: "It's too frivolous."
"I am short of time now, and the Liu family is short of time... I believe you are too." Liu Xiuzhang said quietly: "Don't do meaningless things."
She stood up and said, "Then let's stop talking here today."
Xiang Ling'er curled a strand of hair with her fingers: "We haven't talked about anything yet!"
"You want to leave a hole in the Eastern Region, or even move the headquarters here... Qi State can't at least shake its head. We already have a clear intention to cooperate, don't we?" Liu Xiuzhang asked rhetorically.
Xiang Ling'er smiled sweetly: "It's a pity that my sister Meiyue is not here... I think you will have a good chat."
Liu Xiuzhang only said: "There will be a chance to see him."
Then he turned around and headed out.
Doors opened and closed, people came and went.
No matter who, when, or what, it is often repeated again and again.
It wasn't until Liu Xiuzhang's footsteps were far away that the singer sitting behind the screen explained: "It's true that Miss Liu said she wanted to hear this song Chai Tou Feng, so I played it. I didn't mean to challenge Linzi's current ban. .”
"It doesn't matter." Xiang Ling'er waved her hand, jingling bells on her wrist, and said with a smile: "She just wants to test my Sanfen Xianglou's strength. If she can't even settle this matter, then there will be no cooperation. It’s necessary.”
She Shi Shiran sat down, tilted her head back and pillowed it on the back of the chair: "It's so pitiful that I'm like a phoenix with a hairpin head~"
He closed his eyes gently and murmured: "One more song. I want to listen... Shiba Mo."
The figure behind the screen paused for a moment, but finally did not have the courage to throw the pipa in anger.
Then the strings moved and the screen swayed.
Sadness outside, joy here.
…
…
Jiang Wuqi's funeral took three days in total.
These three days were no different to Jiang Wang. They were nothing more than practicing behind closed doors.
For the current Chongxuan Sheng... the difference is not big.
The fat man had no intention of returning to Xiashan, so he settled in Jiang Wang's house. Get up early every day and go to Bowang Hou Mansion to say hello to the old Marquis and cultivate feelings. After having morning tea with him, he walked back and closed the door to practice boxing and sword practice with Shi Shi... everything.
The euphemistic name says: "Using Jiang Wang as a mirror can cure laziness."
Chongxuan Chu Liang passed by once and was pulled by Chongxuan Sheng to teach him how to practice. In the process of casually crushing Zhongxuansheng, I casually asked why my fat nephew didn't live in the Hou Mansion, and this was the answer given by Zhongxuansheng.
Jiang Wang wanted to say: "Then you should practice with me!"
Of course, he disliked Zhongxuan Shenggui, and he was very enthusiastic about following Chu Liang's guidance.
All worldly things are like floating around, and cultivation must come first.
Compared with combat skills, Jiang Wang's current focus is on the study of Taoism, mainly "Dragon and Tiger".
Eight winds come from all directions.
Among the eight winds, the east is called Ming Shufeng, the southeast is called Qingming Feng, the south is called Jingfeng, the southwest is called Liangfeng, the west is called Changhe Feng, the northwest is called Buzhou Feng, the north is called Guangmo Feng, and the northeast is called Rongfeng.
Among these eight winds, Jiang Wang, who has the magical power of scenery and wind, has faced it directly, and he has also seen the breathing tornado that imitates the common wind of the Ming Dynasty. Bu Zhou Feng was the most lethal, and he had deep control over his magical powers.
Taking Buzhou Feng as the basis and using the various Eight Wind Taoist techniques collected by Chong Xuan Sheng, he completed the work of imitating the Eight Winds in a short period of time.
This step of "turning the eight winds into tigers" is completely within reach.
Only the "dragon" is stuck in the dragon and tiger, and does not know how to use the Tongtian Sea. This key problem has been solved after Xiu Yuan personally gave him some guidance.
After the arrival of the gods, the four seas were connected, and the Yun Temple directly controlled the fourth floor and five mansions, and also suppressed the four seas of the human body.
Jiang Wang has not yet reached the divine presence and has not been able to complete his control over the human body and the four seas. However, under Xiu Yuan's guidance, he can also rely on his tyrannical soul power to build influence over Tongtian Sea in advance.
Finally on this day, the Taoist technique passed down from Jiu Yang was initially completed.
The friendship was so deep that Jiang Wang had no choice but to share the good news with his best friend immediately and see if he could find a chance to try the trick.
When he ran to Chongxuan Shengyuan, the fat man was drinking porridge.
A pair of fat hands, a small white jade bowl, drinking heavily.
After finishing a bowl here, Shi Shi was handed another bowl over there. The porridge noodles are bright and moist, and the aroma is really fragrant and makes people's fingers lick.
It has to be said that when Chong Xuan Sheng moved into the Jiang Mansion, he was very popular among the Jiang Mansion's servants.
In the past, Butler Xie really wanted to be in line with the living standards of other third-grade officials, but his own Lord Jiang was a bit picky, and it was difficult to achieve his goal with the money he spent on his family.
After Chong Xuansheng was ready to live there, the living standards of the Jiang family rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After all, Butler Xie didn't know Lord Jiang's suffering. Lord Jiang really wasn't stingy, but he was used to eating a lot of food, so he couldn't get much money out of it.
In fact, he was also very worried about the living conditions of Jiang Mansion, and had long been thinking about inviting Brother Yan Xian to stay for a while. Invite friends in your own home to show your sincerity. If Brother Yan Xian is dissatisfied with the living environment and wants to make adjustments, he will reluctantly agree and give his best friend enough freedom.
It's a pity that Xie Ping doesn't know about this painstaking effort...
"What are you eating?" Jiang Wang asked knowingly.
Chongxuan Sheng didn't even raise his head: "Go and serve it yourself."
Jiang Wang was about to let out a disdainful snort, but after moving his nose, he suppressed it again.
After drinking the porridge first, it's not too late to talk about Taoism.
He walked calmly to the tiger-print casserole that was said to be bought at a high price from Dinglou. While serving the porridge, he said casually: "Speaking of cooking porridge, I actually have some experience. I once discussed it with His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"That's right." Zhong Xuansheng suddenly interrupted: "I have news for you. My cousin has occupied the top spot in the October Haixun Ranking."
Speaking of which, Diaohai Tower is also pitiful.
Before the meeting in the Yellow River, Ji Zhaonan went to Yilimi Realm to practice shooting. He conveniently set a new record of being number one on the Haixun list. It was obviously to overpower Diao Hailou, and he did…
That record was not broken until the following month by Chen Zhitao.
This time Zhongxuanzun went to sea and easily topped the list.
The Hai Xun Bang, which the Zhenhai League used to unite the hearts of the offshore islands, actually became a prop for Qi's genius to become famous. Only when the genius of Qi State leaves and stops playing can the young geniuses of Diaohailou compete for a place on the list.
The hearts of the people fighting against the Hai Clan are united, but it is worth pondering who leads these hearts.
This was undoubtedly a blow to the newly established Zhenhai League.
After all, cooking is a small thing. Since Zhong Xuan Sheng talked about overseas affairs, Lord Jiang sat down and said casually: "With Zhong Xuan Zun's strength, it's strange that he didn't get the first place... Why, he's going back to Linzi." ?”
Zhong Xuan Sheng shook his head slightly: "How could he give up the battlefield of Xingyue Plains and go to sea specifically for this reason? Getting the top spot on the deputy list is only the same as your record at the time. Although his Hai Xun is much higher than yours , but when you created this achievement, it was only at the inner government level."
"Then what else can he do? Overwhelm the monks from Diaohai Tower and Wailou? There's no point in that. He has already proven that he is one of the strongest Wailou in the world on the river viewing platform... Hai Clan?" Jiang Wang stopped his hand. Yu Shao: "Does he want to challenge the king of the sea tribe?"
"Who knows?" Chongxuan Sheng said: "I only know that with his pride, he went to sea specifically once. If his reputation could not surpass yours at that time, he would definitely not be willing to come back."
Jiang Wang said quietly: "His genius is there, and he can't be too proud."
Chong Xuan Sheng smiled: "In the past, you were the inner palace, and he was the outer building. They had nothing to do with each other. Now you have also erected a star tower, and now both of you are arguing about who is the most talented person in Qi... It's such an uproar! You don't just belittle him, but you actually praise him?"
"I didn't praise him." Jiang Wang said calmly: "I just stated the facts."
Zhong Xuansheng couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "I'm just annoyed by your old master behavior. Can't you scold him a few words in front of me and comfort me?"
Jiang Wang said slowly: "Comfort is essentially a lie. You are too smart to be deceived."
"Which book is it in?" Chong Xuansheng asked.
Jiang Wang suddenly froze.
The sentence he subconsciously quoted came from the book Jiang Wuqi gave him.
Emperor Wu of Qi said this line when he hooked up with the Empress Dowager of Ming Dynasty!
"Well, I've been reading too many books recently, so I forgot." He lowered his head and drank the porridge.
Chong Xuan Sheng didn't care at all. While enjoying the porridge service provided by Shi Shi, he asked casually: "By the way, what did His Highness Shi Shi give you? I never saw you tell me."
Jiang Wang snored and drank half a bowl of porridge before he said in a muffled voice: "A picture of characters."
Zhong Xuansheng glanced at him: "It's just a single word. Why are you nervous?"
"Why am I nervous?" Jiang Wang raised his head with a puzzled look on his face: "No?"
Chong Xuansheng looked at him suspiciously, but considering that someone like Jiang Wuqi might have some secrets that were not convenient for disclosure, it was really not appropriate to ask. Then he said, "Huh, I didn't know your friendship was so good."
While they were chatting, the housekeeper walked to the entrance of the courtyard and said, "Sir, Mr. Zheng Shangming from the Inspection Office is here to visit, and he is also accompanied by Mr. Lin Youxielin, the deputy inspector."
Jiang Wang pushed the porridge bowl and stood up: "Did you tell me why?"
The butler shook his head: "No."
Jiang Wang went out to welcome him and said, "When Mr. Zheng comes from now on, there is no need to pass the message. Just invite him in."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Deputy Ambassador Lin's words still need to be communicated. It is best to ask clearly about the purpose of the visit before communicating."
When I walked out of the hospital door, I happened to see Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie standing not far away.
Especially Lin Youxie, his eyes were dark, deep, and far away...
"Haha." Zheng Shangming laughed dryly, probably to relieve the embarrassment: "Brother Jiang, this house is really nice!"
"Brother Zheng, thank you..." Jiang Wang was also very polite: "Master Lin, come here, please come! Quick, ask someone to serve tea and bring me my good tea. These are all distinguished guests."
Butler Xie walked back to Chongxuan Shengyuan very skillfully... Where can Mr. Jiang get good tea?
"No need." Lin Youxie cut off his words expressionlessly and said businesslikely: "We are here to visit this time for a case, and we want to ask Capt. Jiang to help us handle it."
Jiang Wang suddenly had a bad feeling: "What case?"
"Feng Gu is dead."
Lin Youxie said these four words calmly.
