"Where did he send the person he brought from Orchid Hall today?" Han Changmu asked sadly.
The two barbarians faced the wall and struggled for a long time. They couldn't break free. The dagger was scratched on their necks again. There was a stinging pain and blood flowed out.
Chills came from the hearts of the two of them. Although their mouths were stiff and they did not speak, their bodies were shivering very honestly.
Han Changmu and Gu Chen looked at each other and sneered: "I'll count to three, the person who said it first will survive."
"One, two..." Before he could finish his words, one of the barbarians began to struggle violently.
Han Changmu raised his chin, and Gu Chen slowly let go of Hu Ren's mouth.
The Hu man took a breath and said in horror: "In the greenhouse in the backyard."
"Is there anyone watching?" Han Changmu continued to ask.
There was a strange look on the Hu man's face, and he nodded: "There are two boys at the door, and there are guards in the greenhouse."
Han Changmu keenly caught the slight change on the Hu man's face, tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
The barbarian didn't know where to start, and said with some confusion and disdain: "The man who was sent here first, he just obeyed without being tortured, and he also said that he was a veteran."
Han Changmu staggered. Such a lack of bottom line was a bit like Xie Mengxia's handiwork.
He raised his chin: "Take us there." He paused slightly and continued: "You should know what to do."
The Hu man looked at his companion's trembling body and nodded repeatedly: "Young man, I know, I know."
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to twist the trembling Hu Ren's neck. The Hu Ren collapsed and fell to the ground. He sighed deeply.
There were really a lot of people killed today. When I go back, I will recite a few sutras to get rid of the bad luck.
The living barbarian regretted that he should not have interfered in other people's business and come in to see what happened, thus offending these two evil stars.
He led the way cautiously, Gu Chen pretended to be affectionate and held his hand, a dagger was pressed against his waist, chilling his bones.
He was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything or move, and he almost forgot which leg to move first.
Going out of this hall, it turned out to be the small flower hall of the small shop. The foreigner turned the candlestick, closed the wall, and led the two of them through the corridor and into the backyard.
Under the deep night, the sound of singing and dancing in the front hall carried very far, and the backyard was silent. There were no windows in the conservatory, and the door was tightly closed. In front of the door, there were two young men sitting on the steps, drinking and talking.
The Hu man brought Han Changmu and the two men closer. Before they could say anything, Han Changmu stepped out, broke the young man's neck, and dragged their bodies to the bottom of Taihu Lake to hide them.
The Hu man completely collapsed on the ground, crying and begging for mercy: "Let the villain go, the villain will never dare to do it again, never again."
Han Changmu turned around and said nothing.
Hearing a slight click from behind, he said without looking back: "Go up to the roof and have a look."
The two flew up to the house. It was late at night and the dew was heavy. There was a thick layer of frost on the dark gray tiles, making it very slippery and cold.
Under the moonlight, the two of them carefully lay down on the ridge of the roof and uncovered two tiles. The dim light leaked out, and the human voices inside were heard very clearly.
Xie Mengxia changed into a Yin Hong tuanhua brocade robe and sat cross-legged on the big kang, with a smile on her face and no look of pain at all of being coerced.
Standing next to him was a boy squeezing his shoulders, and a boy kneeling at his feet was beating his legs. In front of him was a row of young men kneeling, all of them with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
Han Changmu and Gu Chen looked at each other in surprise.
What is going on? His Highness the King of Han bought the small restaurant and runs it himself?
The two of them looked over again and saw a bearded Hu man sitting opposite the big kang, holding a cup of tea and looking at Xie Mengxia.
Xie Mengxia said with a smile: "I didn't say that, you can't even do this."
The beard twitched, took a sip of tea, and stammered: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, isn't this okay?"
Xie Mengxia raised his eyebrows: "I'm not bragging. I'm the best at looking at beautiful men. These women come to your place. Tell me why they came."
The bearded man put down his cup and touched the back of his head: "Look at this handsome man."
Xie Mengxia slapped her thigh heavily: "Yes, it's beautiful and delicious, do you understand?"
"...What the hell, cannibalism, cannibalism is illegal."
"..." Xie Mengxia was speechless: "You just suffer the loss of being uneducated, so this small restaurant cannot be big or strong."
Han Changmu didn't feel right about what he said.
Is this Xie Mengxia? Isn't it someone else pretending to be someone else?
Gu Chen clicked his tongue silently and secretly called Xie Mengxia "good".
If you don't say that he can be a prince, your words will hit the nail on the head.
The bearded man leaned forward slightly, making a gesture of listening attentively.
Xie Mengxia drank a cup of tea to moisten her throat and said slowly: "Some people like boys and girls, and some people like masculinity, but after all, skin appearance is the most important."
As he said that, he jumped off the big bed, pinched the chin of a young gentleman, and said: "Look at these eyes, it's like there is a gap in the face. If you don't pay attention, you will miss it. Take it out to see others." Do you think it’s a shame to meet a guest? Are the guests stupid or do they have too much money?”
The young man was completely humiliated, his cheeks were bulging with anger, and his eyes were even smaller.
He slowly walked up to the second young man, opened his collar, looked at it, and clicked his tongue: "Sir, are you looking for a handsome man or a blind man? This guy is so hairy." , can spin yarn and make clothes.”
The young man pinched his collar in shame and anger, and his sleeves slid down to his elbows.
Xie Mengxia took one look, clicked his tongue, shook his head and walked back.
When he saw the third young man, Xie Mengxia lamented and said: "You have got such a crooked melon and cracked jujube. It shows that there is no one in Gaochang City who can use him."
This third husband was a young man who sold himself into a small butler's tavern. When he heard this, he held his neck and shouted: "How dare you call me ugly."
Xie Mengxia raised his eyebrows: "You dare to come out and embarrass yourself, why don't I dare to call you ugly? Ugly people often do mischief, and they are ugly without knowing it. I am talking about you."
The bearded man couldn't stand listening anymore, and slapped the young man on the face, hitting his face to the side, and a bright red slap mark appeared: "Don't let people say you are ugly?"
The young man immediately covered his face and shut his mouth.
Xie Mengxia commented one by one. Although his words were extremely blunt and unpleasant, he spoke coherently. He walked to the last young man. He had nothing to say. He took a plate of ink, lifted up the man's sleeves, and dripped the ink. On Lang Jun's arm.
The ink swayed, slid down from the arm, branched tremblingly, and flowed to both sides.
He sighed with great regret: "The appearance is good, but the quality of the skin is a bit poor. It can barely be considered a top-grade one."
The bearded man was completely impressed by Xie Mengxia's clever mouth. He followed him step by step and looked at each one. When he saw Xie Mengxia's hand, he asked in surprise: "Mr. Xie, what does this mean?"
Xie Mengxia raised his eyelids: "This ink must be dripping on the body, not broken, not scattered, not astringent, and not astringent, then it can be considered top quality." He raised his eyebrows and made an expression that you know: "The best thing is the feel. of."
The bearded man treated Xie Mengxia as a distinguished guest and smiled politely: "Yes, yes, Mr. Xie said yes, then you see, what do we do here."
Xie Mengxia tilted his head and thought for a long time, then said: "Let's do this, I will help them to the end, and you, just follow my request and send some new goods over, and I will work hard to help you train them. "
The bearded man was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "Mr. Xie, um, we have training masters in our small butch shop, aren't they good at it?"
Xie Mengxia smiled sarcastically: "You guys are also called trainers. Those who train animals are better than them." He said seriously: "I've also seen your little farm, there are many tricks, but the basic skills are too It’s bad, my foundation is too weak and it’s easy for me to fall down. I’ll just take the opportunity to give your training master a good lesson.”
The bearded Hu nodded gratefully, poured a cup of tea with his own hands and handed it over.
Han Changmu and Gu Chen were already sitting on the high ridge of the roof, relatively speechless, with despair on their faces.
Is this something a prince of a country should do or say?
Han Changmu felt that Xie Mengxia was more at home in the tavern than in the court.
He wanted to keep Xie Mengxia here.
He had never scolded anyone in his life, and now, he wanted to scold Xie Mengxia like a dog.
The sound of rustling footsteps came from the greenhouse, and the young men who had been humiliated to the dust by Xie Mengxia filed out.
The bearded man said to Xie Mengxia politely: "Mr. Xie, I will go out first. Today I feel sorry for Mr. Room on the room."
Xie Mengxia smiled: "The shopkeeper is so polite. That's good and warm."
The bearded man walked out of the conservatory, locked the door, saw the wine on the steps, and shouted twice. Seeing that the boy guarding the door didn't respond, he spat and cursed: "You drank two mouthfuls of cat urine, and you don't know your last name." What's wrong, I'll break your legs sooner or later."
With that said, he held his round belly and walked back to the front hall with his hands behind his back to greet the distinguished guests.
The backyard was quiet, and the moonlight was like water, flowing silently in the yard.
Han Changmu and Gu Chen sighed helplessly, turned over and got out of the room.
Gu Chen fiddled with the lock, and there was a clang. He took out a bamboo stick and poked it in the keyhole. With a snap, the lock opened.
Han Changmu smiled: "Gu Chen, your lock-picking skills are comparable to those of A Yao."
Gu Chen sighed: "What A Yao is best at is kicking in doors, I can't compare with him."
The two people pushed the door open and closed the door quietly.
The candlelight in the conservatory was dim and the furnishings were simple.
Xie Mengxia didn't sleep, and had already heard Gu Chen unlocking the door. He sat cross-legged on the big bed, looked at the door, and said gloomily: "Jiuchao, you are finally here."
