Qin Sanniang's mouth hurt, but she did not dare to complain. On the contrary, she was very happy.
She was born in a brothel since she was a child. She is a bastard without a father and a mother. If she were not so beautiful, she would have been thrown away long ago.
In the brothel, she received good skills and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As she grew older, she became more and more beautiful.
She started to receive customers when she was twelve years old, and when she was thirteen, someone spent a thousand taels of silver to buy her a first night.
At the age of sixteen, she became a famous courtesan in Tiandu Mansion, and since then her reputation spread throughout Lingzhou.
However, those who use sex to show others will not last long as their love fades. After turning thirty, she, like other women in brothels, had fewer and fewer guests.
After turning forty, no one came to her, not even those old customers, so she became the madam of the drunken brothel, relying on the contacts she had accumulated in the past to attract business to other brothel women.
She thought her life would end like this, but who would have expected that she would be lucky enough to be recruited by Elder Ming.
Who is that Elder Ming?
The elder of the building outside the building!
A rare and powerful martial king in the world!
Now that she is old and beautiful, she can still serve the powerful King Wu and gain the favor of the powerful King Wu. This is something she never dared to think about before.
She secretly made up her mind to complete the task successfully this time!
When she came to "Xuemei Pavilion", Xuemei was not on the first floor. She went to the second floor.
Xuemei is making the bed.
The bed was in a mess, the brand new sheets were torn piece by piece, and one of the bed legs was broken.
Qin Sanniang is used to it. She came here this way back then. If she had a choice, who would want to be crushed by a pig?
She was very resistant at first, but over time she got used to it. She was being pressured anyway, and she couldn't change the result. What's wrong with making more money?
"Oh! My dear daughter, you are so lucky. This Mr. Qian is the young master of Baozhitang, with a fortune of hundreds of millions. If you are redeemed by Mr. Qian in the future, you will not have to worry about it for the rest of your life. When you become rich in the future, you will not be able to Forget mom!"
Xuemei paused her hands and turned around, still looking sick, but her eyes were cold.
Qin Sanniang's smile froze on her face, but it soon recovered. She stepped forward and took Xuemei's hand, patted it gently and said, "Mom, I know you are feeling bitter, but women like us can find people." Redemption is the best way out, otherwise you will have to die here forever. Have you forgotten about Granny Hu?"
Granny Hu was also a brothel girl. When she was young, she was admired by thousands of people. However, due to her indulgent and unrestrained life, she aged quickly. In her thirties, she was the same as in her forties and fifties, and she finally became a maid in the drunken brothel.
Because in the past, his hands were clean and his body was fragile. In addition, he had offended some servants when he was young. After he fell into despair, he was bullied by those servants every day.
Finally, one dark night, she was secretly pushed into a cesspool and drowned alive. When she was found, her body was covered in feces, and her mouth and nose were filled with maggots.
Xuemei felt cold in her heart. Rather than die tragically like Granny Hu, she would have been better off being raped by a pig.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Qin Sanniang explained her purpose: "Mom, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Mom, I just said it's okay." Xuemei quickly agreed.
Although this Qin mother looks kind-hearted and greets everyone with a smile, it would be a big mistake to really treat her as a good person.
As the shopkeeper of Zuihonglou, how could she not know what happened to Granny Hu? Therefore, Granny Hu's death was entirely her acquiescence, and she also had a considerable responsibility.
The mention of Granny Hu just now seemed to be a warning to me. Of course, I couldn't offend her at this time.
"That Lord Captain, you have to help mother serve him well. He is from Ninghou, and we can't afford to offend him. When he comes next time, give this thing to him!"
Qin Sanniang took out a jade ring from her sleeve and handed it to Xuemei's hand.
The jade ring is milky white, with some carved patterns on it, nothing special about it.
Xuemei hesitated and said, "Mom, that Lord Captain Wang is not interested in the Nu family. He just came here to send something to an old friend of the Nu family. I'm afraid he won't come again in the future."
After spending so many years in Zuihonglou, she could still tell whether a man had any desire for her.
Qin Sanniang frowned, but soon relaxed and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Mom will definitely let him come again! All you have to do is give this jade ring to him!"
…
Wang Cheng didn't know that he had been targeted. He had returned to Laohuai Lane at this time, and night was really not a good time for him.
However, as soon as he entered the alley, he saw a person standing in front of him.
Blue robe, long gray hair, simple clothes, a little hunched back, just like an old man from the countryside.
But no one dares to underestimate this person, because he is the four guardian envoys under Ninghou - Qinglong!
Appearing here at this time, Wang Cheng knew that he must have something to ask of him, so he saluted: "I have met Master Qinglong!"
For the rare time, Qinglong did not exchange greetings with Wang Cheng, but directly explained the purpose of his visit: "The Marquis has an order: Wang Xuanfu is ordered to secretly investigate Zuihonglou to see if there are any suspicious persons appearing in recent days."
"Wang Xuanfu takes the order!"
Wang Cheng immediately stepped forward and took a pamphlet from Qinglong's hand.
This is an order issued by Ning Hou himself, which records the operational tasks and requirements in detail.
"Are you confused as to why you were asked to secretly investigate Zuihong Mansion?" Qinglong asked with a smile.
Wang Cheng nodded, Tiandu Mansion is the fiefdom of Ninghou, and Ninghou is the king here. There is no need to investigate secretly, just bring people up to do it!
Qinglong said meaningfully: "There are so many forces in the world, and there are countless forces that have been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years. Although Ninghou's power is strong, his foundation is too weak after all. Even in this city, there are undercurrents that he cannot see."
He turned to Wang Cheng and asked: "You should have heard of the organization Louwailou."
How could Wang Cheng not know? It was so thunderous that he and Xu Ya were almost killed by the black-clad deacon.
His expression suddenly changed and he said, "What do you mean, sir, is that Zuihonglou is the power of Louwailou?"
"Just a guess!"
Qinglong was not sure and analyzed: "Zuihonglou has existed in Tiandu City for many years. Its power may not be as simple as it seems on the surface."
He solemnly told Wang Cheng: "In this operation, you only need to check whether there are people from the building outside the building haunting the Zuihong Building. There is no need to go too deep. Everything is about safety! Remember!"
Wang Cheng nodded, feeling secretly relieved. He was really afraid that Marquis Ning would let him investigate further.
Because he himself is the target of Louwailou's investigation, once his whereabouts are exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
"The Marquis will only entrust you with this operation. After the success, the Marquis will have a reward. You can't let the Marquis down!"
After patting Wang Cheng on the shoulder, Qinglong flashed and disappeared.
The next morning.
Just as Wang Cheng left Baozhitang, a drunk Xiao Si stopped him.
"Sir, I've found you! It's our 20th birthday, Miss Xuemei, and we specially invite you to watch the ceremony tonight! Miss Xuemei also wants to say something to you!"
Wang Cheng accepted the invitation and brought him a pillow because he was really sleepy. He was just thinking about how to get to Zuihonglou, but he didn't expect it to be delivered here.
When Xiao Si, who was drunk in the red building, left, a chuckle sounded in his ears.
"Miss Xuemei is a well-known courtesan in this city. Ordinary people would have to prepare at least a thousand taels of silver to meet her. I didn't expect that you would receive her invitation!"
Wang Cheng looked at Shen Yuanyuan who was smiling and thought: No matter how beautiful Xuemei is, she is not as beautiful as you!
Shen Yuanyuan is definitely the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, even Xu Ya is slightly inferior to her.
Being stared at by Wang Cheng like this, Shen Yuanyuan panicked and held up her hair habitually with her hands.
She has always had a habit of gathering her hair when she feels flustered.
In fact, not only she has it, but many girls have it. Her move undoubtedly revealed that she is a girl.
Has he already figured out his identity?
Shen Yuanyuan has a very clear mind. Her little disguise can be used to deceive ordinary people, but it may not work for someone as unpredictable as Wang Cheng. Especially since Wang Cheng maintains a subtle distance every time she communicates with him, this makes her even more determined. Her inner thoughts.
Back at his residence, Wang Cheng put away the medicinal materials he had retrieved from Baozhitang. Now there was only one medicine left before he could start refining the Linglong Qixin Dan.
This is a panacea that only improves the cultivation of mental power. The main medicine is the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Flower, which he already has.
After a few days of cultivation and drinking monkey wine every day, his soul light recovered a lot, but it was still far from a complete recovery. If the Linglong Seven Heart Pill is refined, his soul light will definitely be restored to its original state, or even go further.
afternoon.
Wang Cheng practiced "Fuhuquan" under the guidance of Zhang Xiaosheng. It has to be said that there is a huge difference between having a master to teach him and not having a master to teach him.
Although Zhang Xiaosheng has lost his cultivation, his understanding of the realm of martial arts is still there, and twenty years have passed, and no one knows how far his understanding of the realm of martial arts has reached.
He didn't use any cultivation skills, but the momentum he exerted was stronger than that of a martial arts master.
Wang Cheng saw Ning Hou Zhou Zhaoguang take action, and his momentum indeed exceeded Zhang Xiaosheng, but he was not as good as the charm.
He seemed to really see a fierce tiger, soaring, leaping, grabbing, or tearing apart.
Is this really a wasted person?
With such a master teaching him step by step, a total of 128 movements of "Fuhu Fist", Wang Cheng was able to upgrade half of them from "knowledge" to "right" in just half a day.
If he were allowed to practice according to the diagram alone, he would definitely not be able to practice in less than a month.
"Bite off more than you can chew, leave the remaining sixty-four postures for later learning." Zhang Xiaosheng specially warned.
Wang Cheng withdrew his fist, feeling a little unfinished.
But as Zhang Xiaosheng said, he is really not suitable to continue practicing. "Fuhu Fist" is broad and profound, and the moves are interlocking. If you don't practice the following moves after practicing the first few moves, it will be easy to forget.
After pondering carefully for a while, it was getting dark. He returned to the room, changed his clothes, and then left the yard.
When he walked away, two people emerged from the courtyard and followed him sneakily.
