"The ferryman?"
Zheng Xiu silently filled in another doorway in the "Gateway Map" he had made up in his mind, and asked:
"What are his powers?"
Jun Buxiao and Situ Yong looked at each other in silence.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Zheng Xiu waited for a while before he couldn't bear to interrupt: "Which of you knows?"
Jun Buxiao tilted his head and asked, "You don't know?"
Situ Yong was stunned: "Why would I know?"
Jun Bu smiled and said, "I thought you knew."
Situ Yong puffed his beard: "I know nothing!"
"What a coincidence, I didn't know either." Jun Buxiao spread his hands helplessly.
Zheng Xiu was angry in his heart and calmly said two words: "Okay, the money will be deducted."
"Young master, don't be impulsive!" Jun Buxiao's face was like the sky in June, which could change at any time. He put on a "crying" mask in the blink of an eye, hugged the young master's waist and pretended to cry: "I really don't know! In the past, the Lord of Night hid Shangxian II tightly, and since Shangxian Sanfengbei joined Ye Weiyang After that, the man seemed to have retired and never came to work again. The only thing my subordinates knew was that someone in Ye Weiyang said that he was elusive and seemed to have the ability to travel thousands of miles in a day."
Jun Buxiao wanted to make a joke, but the joke fell on the horse's ass. King Chi took out a blank booklet from nowhere. He lowered his head and wrote the name "Jun Buxiao", followed by the word "正", and wrote down "fault", which meant that after deducting the money, Zheng Xiu put the pamphlet away and wondered: "But Ye Weiyang has been disbanded long ago, and the former Shangxian Er did not join the Disaster Prevention Bureau. He will appear in this case. It is too far-fetched to say it is a coincidence. But what if..."
Zheng Xiu's eyes gradually lit up, showing an expression like a drum washing machine, and said to himself: "If according to what I originally thought, Zhu was behind this incident, everything makes sense! Shangxian 2 Bai Qiuyue has always been on Zhu's side! Everything is connected! There is only one truth!"
Situ Yong and Jun Buxiao were both stunned when they heard this, and looked puzzled: "Zhu?"
Regarding the origin of Zhu, the disaster prevention bureau did not make it known to everyone. The more unknown the two of them were, the more relieved Zheng Xiu was. He nodded slightly, and the two people's reaction made him smile slightly. When he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door outside.
The orange cat looked unhappy, covered his mouth and nose, and lay on the table with a look like "I'm going to die." Zheng Xiu licked his lips at Situ Yong, and the old miracle doctor Baba stepped forward to open the door. Standing behind the door was the old madam with gauze on her head. She looked dull and held a delicate tray in her hand, which was covered with bright red silk gauze.
Zheng Xiu looked at the old madam and asked, knowingly: "Ah? Why are you injured?"
The old madam's eyes wandered, not daring to look directly into the young man's innocent gaze, and whispered with a whisper: "My family, my family, my family, I accidentally bumped into you."
As she spoke, she carefully placed the tray on the table. The orange cat's hair exploded, and it jumped to Jun Buxiao's feet in disgust.
Zheng Xiu went through the [Investigation] silently and couldn't help but be stunned. The pink mist is rich and dazzling, just like the real taste. Without reaching out to explore, the rich "orchid fragrance" was enough for Zheng Xiu to guess that the items in the tray were personal belongings of Xiang Gu.
Situ Yong frowned and lifted the gauze, only to see a bright red gold silk phoenix-carved bellyband folded flatly inside. Situ Yong frowned, felt it with the back of his hand, and said in surprise: "It's warm!"
The old madam tried her best to smile: "Xianggu said that she heard that a young master came here from the big city tonight. She pushed away tonight's distinguished guest. Who made Xianggu meet a young master who was more generous than that distinguished guest? Where is the young master!"
Zheng Xiu pointed to the bellyband that he had obviously just taken off and laughed in surprise: "You mean this bellyband..."
The old bustard nodded with a strong smile and said: "It's a 'token'. Xianggu will give a token to someone she likes. With this token, you can enter Xianggu's boudoir and enjoy a night of romance."
As she spoke, the old madam hesitated to speak and walked out cautiously.
"Please stay."
Situ Yong took out a white porcelain jade bottle from his hand and pressed it on the table.
"This medicine is specially designed to treat trauma and bruises. Apply it externally for three days and the recovery will be as good as before."
The old madam looked shocked, Situ Yong gently stroked her long beard, and said proudly: "I am not talented, but I am the best doctor in the world, Situ Yong!"
"Thank you, sir!" The old madam turned around and reached for the porcelain bottle. She stumbled, knocked over the bottle, and almost fell down. After a moment, she stood up unsteadily while holding on to the long table, and bowed deeply three times across the table.
After the madam left, Situ Yong slapped his head and said in annoyance: "Oops! I got sick, so I felt soft-hearted and gave him the elixir! Tsk, who can make me a doctor benevolent."
"Hehehehe!" Jun Buxiao laughed out loud, amused.
Zheng Xiu pointed to the long table: "It's not all bad. At least, good people will be rewarded."
Situ Yong was stunned when he saw it. Next to the tray filled with hot gold silk bellybands, the madam pretended to fall and spilled the drink. She covered it with her long sleeves and wrote two words on the table with the drink - "Run away".
Situ Yong didn't have time to sigh about "good people are rewarded", he stared at the word "run away", then looked at the hot bellyband, grinning: "It seems like the other party knows our purpose. "
"Maybe." Zheng Xiu nodded, patted his clothes, and stood up calmly. Jun Buxiao said softly, Situ Yong was stunned again and asked: "Little Master, what do you want...?"
Zheng Xiu smiled and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. I'll go and see this orchid for a while."
Situ Yong: "What...?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs." Zheng Xiu repeated his words and asked curiously: "This is a metaphor. What's wrong, don't you understand?"
"I understand." Situ Yong's mouth twitched and nodded. Just as he was about to stop him, Zheng Xiu pointed to the bellyband with a look of disgust on his face: "Wrap it up for me."
When Situ Yong smelled it from a distance, the fragrance hit his nostrils and his heart swayed. After wrapping up the still warm belly bag, Zheng Xiu held the bag with one hand and told the orange cat: "I'll go and come back. You are a cat pillar. Keep an eye on me. If anything happens, just claw out."
"Meow!"
【snort! 】
The orange cat crossed his arms on his chest and looked away, looking unhappy.
"When I get back, I'll let Feng Bei cook again. The fried fish cakes will be enough!"
"Meow meow?"
【real? 】
"One word from the Red King will make it difficult for a horse to catch up!"
The orange cat stretched out its eight paws and stared at the boy.
"Meow meow!"
【Eight horses! 】
The orange cat bargained with Zheng Xiu in a strange place.
"make a deal!"
Zheng Xiu readily agreed, walked out of the box and went straight upstairs. Looking down through the carved railings, I saw that tonight's song and dance performance had already begun below. The geisha who is good at singing and dancing is on the stage set up, wearing a vaguely visible Luo Shang. Accompanied by the melodious music, her twisting waist and fluttering cloud sleeves are imaginative, and the spectators are blushing and applauding.
Zheng Xiu walked up the stairs skillfully, but there was no one on the corridor. The old madam is missing. After passing the corner, before reaching the boudoir of the courtesan Xianggu, Zheng Xiu noticed from a distance that the three-piece set of bamboo pole, coir raincoat, and bamboo hat that had been standing at the door not long ago had disappeared.
Zheng Xiu looked solemn, immediately took off Chang Shihua from his waist, and started a group chat.
Several figures were blurred on the mirror, and their code names in the disaster prevention bureau were displayed on them.
Before Zheng Xiu could speak, Chang Shieri suddenly refreshed the screen, and everyone began to discuss:
[Living Dead]: Is this the end of the story, young master? It seems a little faster, but alas, it’s still too young after all!
[Shadow Play]: Hee hee hee hee!
[Book Copying Maniac]: Woohoo! My stomach hurts!
[Golden Middleman]: What's going on inside? What's over? Who's done? Where is the end? Where's the finish line?
[Snake]: What are you doing over there?
[Ye]: You don’t have to worry about snakes. Young Master, you have to be careful, Ye heard a lot of noise inside.
[Book Copying Maniac]: My stomach hurts!
[Beautiful Cat]: Meow meow meow meow (don’t forget my fish cakes)!
[Gold Medal Intermediary]: ...Who gave Lord Maozhu such a weird code name?
[Book Copy Maniac]: By the way, could you please just ignore that broken cat! My baby is about to be born, why don’t any of you take care of me? woo woo woo woo!
[Qingqing]: Ha.
[Beautiful Cat]: Meow?
[The 'Book Copying Maniac' was invited out of the group chat by the 'Red King'. 】
[All members have been banned by the 'Red King'. 】
This is the damn reason why I don't have a "Disaster Prevention Bureau" group chat.
The group was bombed in minutes.
Being funny is much happier than netizens.
But at this moment Zheng Xiu needs his ears to be clean.
After the group chat became quiet, Zheng Xiu began to speak.
"Ye, Qingqing, Xi'er, please pay attention to whether there is a boatman wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat coming out outside the door."
"In the same way, old miracle doctor and opera singer, get out of the box and look for Bai Qiuyue!"
"His three-piece suit is missing!"
"Snake, be careful over there. I suspect they already know that the pregnant woman is in the inn."
Under the order of the Red King, the anti-pornography team of the Disaster Prevention Bureau immediately started functioning.
Zheng Xiu turned off the communication.
He quickly walked to the oiran's door and kicked it open.
The moment he opened the door, Zheng Xiu was suddenly startled.
A woman with a charming appearance and half-dressed clothes was lazily leaning against the window. A large portion of her white legs were exposed from under the long skirt. She was lowering her head at the moment and concentrating on applying bright red manicure on her toes.
In Zheng Xiu's eyes, Xianggu's face and figure began to distort.
The surroundings seemed to have turned into a beautiful fairyland on earth. The clear calls of orioles sounded in Zheng Xiu's ears, and bursts of floral fragrance came to him. For a moment, Zheng Xiu's eyes were filled with strange lights and shadows. In the blink of an eye, the woman and herself floated up into the clouds. The woman made various seductive postures in the swirling clouds and mist, waving to Zheng Xiu and saying: Come on, come on, come on.
At this moment, in Xianggu's boudoir.
The young man who kicked in suddenly lost his look in his eyes and stood at the door blankly like a puppet.
Xianggu walked towards the boy step by step.
If there are outsiders here, they can see Xianggu's gait and calm their doubts. At this moment, Xianggu didn't have the enchanting look of a woman when she walked. Instead, she walked with her head held high, and there was a faint calmness and grandeur unique to the elderly in her steps.
"Who are you?"
Xianggu made a hoarse and old voice, her long skirt was lifted up silently, and her translucent tentacles stretched out towards the boy.
At the end of the tentacles, there are small squirming mouths.
The two petals of the small mouth are plump and look like two plump sausages.
The bloody mouths on each tentacle opened, and the wriggling folds were like a row of sharp teeth.
…
The words are divided into two parts.
After Chang Shihui's call ended.
Everyone was shocked. From the boy's hasty phone call, they understood the seriousness of the matter.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
A dark cloud came over and covered the bright moon.
The moonlight seeped in, making the clouds at night inexplicably dyed with a strange lavender color.
Outside Yanchun Tower.
Xi'er stood high up out of thin air. Countless threads invisible to the naked eye were twisted into a knot under her feet.
Under Zheng Xiu's instruction, she laid a dragnet outside Yanchun Tower. As long as someone touched her thread, she would feel something, and no one could escape the "net" woven by the tailor.
As a "time demon", Yin Qingqing can sacrifice human skin and put it into her time demon space once she discovers something is wrong.
"Bondman?"
Xi'er was condescending and could only see many people coming in and out of Yanchun Tower. If someone dressed in strange clothes walked out of the gate, they would not be able to escape her eyes. There would be no boatman. Recalling Zheng Xiu's hurried words and mentioning "Bai Qiuyue" after being banned just now, Xi'er searched the memory of the dead Ye Weiyang, and the more she thought about it, the more familiar the name became.
"Bai Qiuyue? Bai Qiuyue? Bai Qiuyue? Which Bai Qiuyue?"
Yin Qingqing looked calm and reminded: "Once the number one master in Ye Weiyang, Shang Xian II, 'The Ferryman', Bai Qiuyue."
When Ye Weiyang still existed, it was impossible for the old emperor to allow Ye Weiyang's family to dominate. The "Secret Department" he cultivated was the means to counter Ye Weiyang. Yin Qingqing was once a member of the Secret Service, and he had a wealth of information about every magician or stranger in Ye Weiyang.
"It's him!"
Xi'er was shocked when he heard this, wondering how this case could involve that retired stranger.
When Xi'er and Yin Qingqing were discussing the person "Bai Qiuyue".
The melodious sound of the piano came from inside.
The sound of the piano is long and lingering, like mountains and flowing water, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Ye listened intently, and as he listened, Ye frowned: "The sound of the music is wrong."
Xi'er asked: "What's wrong?"
Ye's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "It has only its form, but no spirit! It's like playing according to the music score. It's far inferior to ordinary geishas. It's weird! I'll give her a try."
Saying that, Ye flew down and stood on the flying buttress. He took out the reed leaves from his chest with two fingers, held them against his lips, and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, Ye's eyes were filled with killing intent, like sharp knives.
Using reeds as flutes, opposite to the sound of the piano in the building, another completely different kind of music penetrated the night like a sharp arrow and penetrated in threads.
In Yanchun Tower.
After Situ Yong and Jun Buxiao were ordered, they quickly turned over and went outside, looking around. After searching around, I couldn't find the iconic gondolier's three-piece suit.
Just when he was about to inform Xiao Ma Zheng Xiu, there was sudden silence in the lobby. A girl with a silk scarf covering her face and a curvy figure walked up to the singing stage and sat sideways on a small stool in front of everyone.
Ding!
The crisp sound of the piano played, and the beautiful music spread throughout Yanchun Tower in an instant. All the spectators shook their heads and listened, seemingly intoxicated.
Phew~
At this moment, a more beautiful flute sound came from outside the building. The flute sound seemed to carry a strange pressure. The candlelight in the building swayed crazily in an instant, almost extinguishing!
At first, the sound of the flute was like a gurgling stream, soft and pleasant, and the sound of the piano vaguely conveyed the artistic conception of mountains and flowing water. But as soon as he turned his ears, the tune of the flute suddenly changed, clanging and clanking, and full of murderous intent, like thousands of troops galloping on the battlefield, or like a torrential rain pouring, rushing up to the sky and flowing down.
On the singing stage, the masked woman looked panicked, and she couldn't help but play the piano faster and faster. Even Situ Yong and Jun Buxiao, who didn't understand music, could clearly hear the rhythm of the woman on the stage, and were affected by the sound of the music outside. The influence has messed up everything.
The sound of the piano and the sound of the flute are tit for tat, like swords coming and going. But the sound of the piano could not last long, and it was completely defeated. The masked woman on the singing stage had a dull look in her eyes, and her movements had long lost their original agility, and she plucked the strings mechanically under the influence of the sound of the flute.
suddenly!
"Zheng!"
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the masked singer plucked the sharp strings with one hand. Two fingers were severed and dripping with blood. But she still didn't know the pain, and kept picking at the ground with her severed fingers.
The audience had already noticed that the singer on the stage was a little strange. After the singer broke two of her fingers, a client saw the blood and woke up drunk in horror. He screamed and escaped from Yanchun Tower in the chaos.
A drunken middle-aged prostitute climbed onto the singing platform, swearing.
"What the hell are you playing!"
He was seven points drunk, and he pushed the girl with the broken finger to the ground due to his drunkenness. The girl's face was pale. Even though she fell to the ground, she was still playing with her severed fingers, and pieces of flesh flew out. The scene was very terrifying.
The drunken guest angrily lifted the girl's veil, revealing an ordinary face behind the veil.
"She's not Xiang Gu!"
Someone in the audience pointed at that face in horror.
It’s the end of the month, please vote! Please!
