The hot steam floated into the night sky outside the window, and the bright moon reflected through the layers of mist, shining on the naked woman in the bathtub inside the window. Countless red flower petals surround it, and through the water surface that is not blocked by the petals, the woman's slender and white torso can be vaguely seen. The water depth just reached her chest. She relaxed her whole body and leaned against the edge of the barrel. His slender and sentimental eyes stared at the petals held in his hands, and then his vision changed as his hands threw the petals into the air. She held her head high and let the petals scatter everywhere. This little flower rain can already soothe her tired body and mind.
Just as the woman was enjoying her comfortable bathing time, Mei Niang's voice came from outside: "Girl, I brought you some clothes! The little girl and the Miao girl have already chosen, and the only one left is you! You have to go first!" Come and see if it fits?"
Murong Yan was afraid of disturbing other people's business, so she hurriedly got up from the bathtub, wiped her body casually with a towel, and replied: "Come in, I want you to help me take a look!"
Mei Niang agreed and walked in with a basket in both hands. She was stunned by the woman taking a bath in front of her. I saw that the other party was naked, sitting sideways on the edge of the barrel facing the door, with only a bath towel covering his chest, and his exquisite body was as clear as a stone statue carved by an artisan. She looked up at the white moonlight outside the window, smiling and thoughtful.
"Ah..." Mei Niang couldn't help but sigh. Although her appearance was slightly different from ordinary people, she was definitely a woman so beautiful that it made people's hearts flutter. Murong Yan also noticed the other party's arrival at this time, threw away the bath towel, and walked straight to Mei Niang without any precautions.
"Let me see the new clothes...ah!" Murong Yan was about to reach out and pick up the clothes, but a sharp object pricked her finger, and blood flowed out.
"Girl, take this and wipe it!" Upon seeing this, Mei Niang handed over the purple handkerchief in her hand and angrily said: "These clothes makers actually left the needle and thread on the clothes. I will definitely scold them later. A meal!”
Murong Yan wiped the blood from her fingertips, returned the purple silk, and replied: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin breakage." After that, she picked up the new clothes and put them in front of her. She spun around in a circle, letting her clothes swirl around, as happy as a little girl who got new clothes in the New Year. It seems that I suffered a lot during the time I ran away from home.
"Girl, you are so unsuspecting when facing a stranger like me. Aren't you afraid that Mei Niang is a bad person?"
"Ah!" Murong Yan seemed to have never considered this possibility, and replied: "Someone will protect me, I'm not afraid. Besides, we are all women, how can you make things difficult for me?"
Seeing Murong Yan's panic, Mei Niang smiled and said, "Mei Niang is just reminding the girl that you should be careful when you go out, especially for women like us."
"Then...thank you sister!" As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Yan couldn't wait to put on her clothes. The color of the clothes was not much different from her original one, but the material was changed to more comfortable silk and satin, and the skirt was longer and narrower than before, making it look more dignified and elegant.
"This girl looks really good in this outfit. I think that young master must really admire you, girl, right?" Mei Niang said as she helped her arrange her clothes.
"I...I don't know." Murong Yan nodded and said, "According to what I know about him, he won't like me now."
"How about I help you ask him?"
"Don't...he has helped me enough. Maybe I am just a scenery in his journey..."
Seeing that Murong Yan had lost her look, Mei Niang said helplessly, "Oh, what a strange girl." After that, she left the place, and the two of them went back to their rooms to rest.
In the middle of the night, a candle suddenly lit up in a room. The figure looked left and right, and after observing for a moment, he took out a piece of purple silk. If you look closely, you will see that the boneless figure is definitely that of Mei Niang.
"The 'Witch's Blood' can heal wounds quickly..." Mei Niang said to herself, then she took a thin needle in her right hand and pricked the index and middle fingers of her left hand. She pursed her lips tightly, holding back the pain, and wrapped the bloody purple silk around her index finger. After a moment, she noticed something strange on her finger. After lifting the silk cloth and removing the blood scab, the index finger was intact as before! The middle finger on the other side was still bleeding and accompanied by slight pain.
In an instant, she prepared pen, ink and paper and wrote: "I am in Jiangzhou." Then she quietly opened the paper window to the outside world and whistled like a bird with her fingers, and a golden eagle followed the sound. Come. Mei Niang put the letter into the small wooden tube on the golden eagle and let it fly away. The whistle sounded extremely sharp in the dark night, complementing the roar of the golden eagle as it left.
"I really don't know what the Lord wants such a silly girl to do. But I finally found her..." After Mei Niang finished doing those things, she put out the candle. In this way, the news that Murong Yan was in Jiangzhou spread without anyone noticing.
At the same time, a swordsman from the west finally arrived in Jiangzhou and, on the order of his master, brought a woman back. In the river in the dark night, in addition to the stars and the moon shining brightly, there is also a small cabin boat with a weak candlelight slowly sailing towards Jiangzhou. There were only two people on the boat, the punter and the rider. They didn't talk to each other all the way until they approached the waters of Jiangzhou.
"Master Fu, Jiangzhou is ahead of us, but it's curfew time. If we approach rashly, we might give the guards an excuse to fight with swords." said the man in cloth hat who was punting the boat.
"I've given you enough money. If things don't go well... you know how our Fu family behaves." The man sitting in the coop, wearing a bamboo hat and black and white cloth clothes, hugged his chest with his hands, left hand The sword above has been slightly unsheathed by the thumb.
The man in the cloth hat immediately recalled the legend in the world of the Fu family that there was a swordsman with superb swordsmanship who killed countless people and established a lot of reputation for Fu Yun, the head of the Fu family. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect, even if he risked his life, he pushed the boat to Jiangzhou Pier.
The man in a bamboo hat jumped out of the boat and threw a bag full of silver towards the boatman.
"Thank you..." Just as the man in the cloth hat was about to say thank you, he saw two Jiangzhou guards coming to search. Suddenly, a silver light flashed, and he discovered that the chests of the guards who were far away from the man in the bamboo hat had bloody gashes. He heard the sound of the sword being sheathed in front of him, and the man in the bamboo hat showed an evil smile. This made the boatman's breathing disordered and panicked: "We were obviously several feet away from the guard, how did he hit him!"
The man in the cloth hat quickly picked up the oar and quickly left the man in the bamboo hat. He couldn't help but rejoiced in his heart: If he had just rejected his request, he might have been dead long ago!
The man in the bamboo hat turned around and walked towards the two guards, started to dispose of the body, and sneered: "Anyone who stands in my way will die. This is my 'Rune Tao' way of doing things!" After that, he dragged the body and disappeared into the darkness...
