Tonight's drunken red building is destined to be sleepless.
From the gate to the outer courtyard wall, a row of red lanterns was hung, which was very festive. Those who didn't know it thought there was a wedding.
Across an alley more than ten meters wide, one can hear a burst of cheerful and festive music inside.
"Damn it! I just said he came to Zuihong Mansion! Now you believe it!"
"I didn't expect it! Brother Wang looks like a serious person, but his actions are not serious at all, but he is so good!"
Two silhouettes of cats peeked in from the alley opposite, it was Yang Si and First Class.
"Let's go! Let's go in and take a look. Today seems to be a big day for Zuihonglou!"
Yang Si waved his hand, showed the momentum of a deputy lieutenant, and walked into the Zuihong Building first.
Xiao Si, who was guarding the door, saw that he had a sinister look on his face and did not look like a good person, so he immediately stopped him.
"Blinding your dog eyes!"
Yang Si scolded angrily and took out a copper official seal from his arms. Upon seeing this, Xiao Si quickly let him in.
The first class followed behind, without taking any identification. The majestic aura alone was enough to explain everything. Xiaosi still has some sharp eyesight.
As soon as they entered the reception hall, the two of them were attracted by the dreamlike scene in the hall.
White mist rose around the stage, and a beautiful woman of twenty years of age, dressed in light gauze, danced in the mist, like a fairy in the moon palace.
If this dance alone couldn't attract others' attention, this woman was really flying around like a cloud, with nothing pulling her around.
Could this woman be a martial arts master?
First class wiped his eyes vigorously, shook his head and said: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There has never been a twenty-year-old martial arts master in the world!"
"Stop thinking about it and find my uncle quickly!" Yang Si pulled him back to reality.
The two searched for a long time and finally found Wang Cheng in a secluded corner on the second floor.
Wang Cheng glanced around, and what surprised him was that he didn't see Mr. Qian for such a long time.
It’s unscientific!
As Xuemei's guest, it was impossible not to come to Xuemei's twentieth birthday, a grand day.
At this moment, Xuemei fell from mid-air, and the rising white mist slowly dissipated.
To everyone's shock, Xuemei disappeared, as if disappearing with the mist.
"Ding dong..."
Suddenly, a piano sound sounded, and white mist rose again on the stage.
The snowy plum that had just disappeared loomed again with the rising mist. The gauze on her body had been replaced by a white dress, and the wooden hairpin with plum blossoms was inserted into her black hair.
She lowered her head to play the piano and sang softly:
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky with your wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that it will be too cold in the beautiful buildings and jade palaces. I dance to clear the shadows, how can it be like being in the human world..."
The melody is completely different from other lyrics and music, and is actually a modern version of Faye Wong.
Wang Cheng was a little surprised when he heard "Magpie Bridge Immortal" last night. Now when he heard "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" again, he was a little confused, because only he and Xu Ya knew this tune in the world.
How did Xuemei know?
Could it be that Xu Ya arrived at Tiandu Mansion?
Wang Cheng decided to ask Xuemei for details later. He had not seen Xu Ya for nearly a month.
After the song ended, Xuemei bowed to everyone: "Xuemei thanks everyone for coming to watch the ceremony."
Twenty years old is an important age for all brothel girls, because starting from today, as long as the price is right, she can be redeemed.
"Mother Qin, please stop hiding it and tell me quickly. How much money can you give to Miss Xuemei to redeem her life?"
"We are all here to get this beauty back today. Go back early and go to bed early. Let's talk about the price!"
…
Everyone below the stage can't wait. They are all well-known people in Tiandu City, either rich or noble.
Qin Sanniang walked out amidst the commotion, pointed at everyone with her handkerchief in hand, and said teasingly: "You guys! You guys! You can't even wait for such a while. If our Xuemei is married by you, she will still be able to get out of bed." ?"
"If you don't stay in bed for a month, won't my money be wasted?"
"How can one month be enough? You can't function well! If it were me, it would be at least three months!"
…
A group of people were making endless noises. Xuemei, who was standing on the stage, was frightened and turned pale. Her pitiful and morbid beauty suddenly made them want to conquer her.
"Three thousand taels! I will give you three thousand taels of gold!"
"Four thousand taels! I will give you four thousand taels of gold!"
At this moment, money is really worthless.
Even Wang Cheng, who was not interested in money, was a little speechless. He often charged a thousand taels of gold for a price increase. This was a wealth that an ordinary family could not earn in a few lifetimes.
"Ten thousand taels! I'll give you ten thousand taels of gold!" a middle-aged man with a big belly shouted at the top of his lungs.
The price was more than doubled all of a sudden, and the venue finally became quiet.
Ten thousand taels of gold is really a huge amount of money, but when the amount exceeds ten thousand, it's completely different.
The few people who were clamoring just now hesitated when they heard the price. They would feel pain if they took out ten thousand taels of gold at once, let alone spending so much money just to buy a toy.
"Twenty thousand taels! I have to pay 20,000 taels of gold!"
A young man who looked like a ball walked in, followed by two men in black.
The two men in black were tall and cold-looking, with bulging temples and glares that were like lightning. At first glance, they were masters of the inner family who had developed true energy.
"Lots of money! Here he comes!"
"Hey! Let's not fight with anyone now!"
They are all veterans of brothels, and these people know Qian Duoduo's identity very well.
Wang Cheng watched quietly from the second floor. Sure enough, Mr. Qian finally came.
But, why did he come so late? Did Zuihonglou not invite him?
Qian Duoduo, with his spherical belly, stared at the middle-aged man who had just called out the price, and sneered: "Why are you charging a mere ten thousand taels here? Go home and drink milk from your mother!"
Being ridiculed in front of so many people, the middle-aged man would have rushed forward to take action if it were anyone else, but at this moment he could only hold the breath in his stomach.
I can't help it, I can't afford it!
Baozhitang was a giant in the entire Zhou Dynasty, with its branches almost everywhere. In Tiandu Mansion, except for Ninghou, no other force could compare with it.
Qian Duoduo glanced at the crowd and said, "I've decided to eat Xuemei, even God can't keep it away, I said so!"
The attitude was extremely arrogant, but no one present dared to comply. They really couldn't afford to offend him!
At this time, another man in black walked in, leaned over and whispered a few words into Qian Duoduo's ear.
Qian Duoduo narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay! Today is a double happiness. I will sleep with two peerless beauties tonight!"
Everyone was a little confused, Xuemei was the only one here, so where did these two stunning beauties come from?
Xuemei looked in the direction of Wang Cheng with a pleading look in her eyes, like a homeless stray kitten waiting for someone to take it away.
She really didn't want to be ransomed by the money. Thinking of the several hundred kilograms of meat balls weighing on her body for a long time, she wanted to die.
However, in this Tiandu Mansion, except for the power of Ninghou, who dares to challenge Baozhitang?
Of all the people present, only Wang Cheng, only Wang Cheng, could save her from the sea of fire!
Wang Cheng didn't even look at it. Not to mention that he didn't have that much money. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to spend that much money to redeem someone who was not related to him.
What's more, Xu Ya is probably in Tiandu Mansion. If she knew about this, she would probably be angry to death.
"Haha! Come on! My little Xuemei baby!"
Qian Duoda smiled and ran onto the stage, rolled over like a ball, and was about to hug Xuemei.
"etc!"
Xuemei suddenly stopped him, then looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Sir, can I have a few words with you?"
Wang Cheng hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
Xuemei ran up to the second floor as if fleeing, leaving behind Qian Duoduo, whose face became increasingly ugly.
She leaned over Wang Cheng's ear and whispered, "Sir, someone wants to harm you!"
Wang Cheng was no longer so calm. He stared at Xuemei and said, "Who is it?"
Xuemei was about to continue speaking when a hand held her wrist.
Qin Sanniang came closer at some point, with a smile on her face and patted the back of Xuemei's hand with her other hand.
Xuemei struggled with her face, and finally threw a jade ring to Wang Cheng. There seemed to be a thousand words hidden in her eyes, but she just didn't say them out.
Wang Cheng looked at the jade ring in his hand, and then at Xuemei who had walked downstairs, not understanding what she wanted to express.
Could it be that the person she was talking about was related to this jade ring?
He stared at the jade ring in his hand. There were some lines engraved on the milky white jade ring.
Suddenly, he found that the lines were moving, and the lines were twisted together, which made him feel dazed.
He closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the jade ring was just an ordinary jade ring, and the lines on it were nothing special.
eccentric!
In addition to what Xuemei had just said to him, if someone was going to harm him, he had to leave here quickly. As for the mission of exploring Zuihong Mansion, he could only wait until later.
The night is dark, starless and moonless.
Wang Cheng was walking on the street, alone. There were not many people traveling at this hour.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and there were thin threads in his mind.
These thin threads gathered together like threads and soon formed a humanoid monster.
With a green face and fangs, it was three to four meters tall, and its back was covered with barbs. It looked like a fierce ghost.
"It's that jade ring!"
Wang Cheng suddenly remembered a book he had read about Taoist ghost hunting. It recorded many "magic weapons" used by evil cultivators, but they were called evil weapons by righteous people.
That jade ring is an evil weapon, and there is a fierce ghost inside.
Someone wants to devour his soul and take control of his body!
who is it?
He was the first to deny Xuemei. She was obviously driven by others.
"Qin Sanniang!"
Wang Cheng immediately locked onto the target and could almost conclude that the Madam was the main messenger. Her previous reaction was too weird.
"Roar!"
The fierce ghost looked up to the sky and roared, its withered ghost claws clawing at Wang Cheng's soul.
