The full moon fills the west tower, and the gauze curtain is lightly lifted...
There is a very famous gold-selling cave in Jindu, called the West Tower.
The West Tower is divided into two attics, Yingge Tower and Yanyu Pavilion...
There are so many beauties in the Yingge Tower, with plump and thin bodies and graceful figures, especially the courtesan Nightingale, whose song of lovesickness has attracted many benefactors to linger and spend huge sums of money!
And Yanyu Pavilion…
"What happened to Yan Yu Pavilion?" Gong Yaozheng looked curiously at Lao Zhang beside him.
Although she was sent back by two people yesterday, she was very interested in that place!
People always have rebellious feelings. The more others hide things, the more curious they become. Gong Yaozheng admitted that she was curious!
So, when she was preparing to go with Gong Yuanzheng to see Gong Shangjiao off, she encountered the accountant Lao Zhang chatting about Na Xilou, and couldn't help but stop and listen for a while.
"Then Yan Yu Pavilion... 2, Miss 2!" Only then did Lao Zhang realize that the person speaking next to him was Miss 2.
"Oh, don't be nagging, just say it quickly!" Gong Yaozheng quickly stopped Lao Zhang from saluting.
Lao Zhang looked at his apprentice and then at the second young lady. Two pairs of eyes looked at him with bright eyes. He touched his beard and continued.
"There are many young men in Yanyu Pavilion, ranging from clear and handsome to domineering and evil, as well as gentle and gentle as jade. Most of the people who go there are young ladies from aristocratic families who have just begun to fall in love and lonely widows who are unbearably lonely. The young men in the pavilion are good at acting but not selling themselves, and they are used to confuse people. The women emptied their wallets for them and were fascinated. Just a few words made those women smile!" When Lao Zhang said this, his tone was inexplicably angry.
Gong Yaozheng's eyes lit up slightly, wasn't that the Cowherd Pavilion? !
So advanced?
"But, will this kind of place be tolerated by the world? The folk customs of Jindu are so open?" Gong Yaozheng asked in confusion.
"Although the West Tower is a place to listen to music and laugh, it is not obscene! It is an elegant place. Most of the people who go there are literati and poets. There are Qing Guan and Hong Gui in the building. Most of the Qing Guan and the Red Guan. It’s also for people’s entertainment. On weekdays, they just wait for their patrons in the room. Besides, it’s a serious business, so why is it not tolerated by the world!”
"Oh, this old slave is talking too much. How can he say this in front of the second young lady? He should be beaten, he should be beaten!" Lao Zhang patted his face twice, very artificially.
Gong Yaozheng quickly grabbed his arm: "Old Zhang, you can't do it, you can't do it!"
Only then did Lao Zhang give up!
Gong Yaozheng took the opportunity to ask: "Then Yingge Pavilion has top names, what about Yanyu Pavilion?"
"Second Miss, I would have forgotten that there is a very famous young master in Yanyu Pavilion, Yanjiao!"
"Yanjiao? Why is a young waiter so famous!" Gong Yaozheng felt that Lao Zhang's choice of words was inappropriate!
"Hey, hey, that's not a waiter, that's the boss of the West Building. The whole Jindu has to be called a suburban son." Lao Zhang quickly corrected him.
"Why is a boss going up to the building to show off his laughter?" Is this so coquettish?
"A few years ago, when Xilou was running for oiran and court chief, I don't know who put Yanjiao's name on it. That day, the young master from the suburbs showed his face and climbed to the top of the list! Since then, Yinggelou's Nightingale and the Yanjiao of Yanyu Pavilion are rare characters in the West Tower." Lao Zhang said with emotion, remembering that he had also met Nightingale back then!
Gong Yaozheng was thinking in his mind, how good-looking he must be to get the top spot just because of one appearance!
"Second Miss, Mr. Gong Er is leaving today, aren't you going to see him off?" Lao Zhang seemed to have suddenly realized something and asked in his soul.
Gong Yaozheng looked at Lao Zhang fiercely, his pupils dilated, why was she passing by just now? ah! She was going to see Gong Er off!
Gong Yaozheng picked up her skirt and went to the door. When she arrived at the door, there was no one at the door. She asked the concierge, and the concierge said that Mr. Gong Er had been waiting for a while, but time waited for no one, and he had already gone to the dock!
She looked around, but it was too late to prepare the carriage. Her eyes lit up and she saw a carriage approaching.
Gong Yaozheng looked at the passing carriage in front of him, stepped forward to stop it, and gave him a large ingot of silver: "Wait a minute, take me to the dock!"
The coachman's hand was inexplicably stuffed with money, which was quite heavy, but he still returned the money to Gong Yaozheng in embarrassment: "Miss, this is a private carriage and we don't accept passengers!"
Then another piece of silver was placed on his hand, which was heavier than the previous one: "Is it enough? If not, there are still more, all for you! Hurry and set off!"
Gong Yaozheng took off the purse from his waist and was just about to give it to the driver when he heard a clear male voice coming from inside the carriage: "Let her in!"
"Yes, sir!" The coachman saluted inside, then returned the money to Gong Yaozheng, opened the curtain and let her in.
Gong Yaozheng hesitated for a moment. She thought there was no one in the carriage, but to her surprise, there was a man!
But looking at the time, if the second brother didn't wait for me to send him off, he would be sad, right? I promised to give it away, but I can't live with it if I don't let go of my conscience!
Thinking of this, Gong Yaozheng entered the carriage!
As soon as he entered the carriage, Gong Yaozheng was stunned. What should I say?
Have you ever seen the Gu King of the Western Region?
This is!
The young man was sitting in the carriage, with black hair like a waterfall, long eyebrows at the temples, a smile in his eyes, a slight hook at the corners, and a hint of charm, but a smile on the corners of his lips, and an innocent expression. A sense of purity.
Her face is like jade, her eyes are like bright stars, and those eyes are like autumn water reflecting the shadow. When looking at people, people can't help but stop.
To use the words of a novel Gong Yaozheng read...
Look at the dogs affectionately!
The black robe is gorgeous, and the embroidery used is not extraordinary. The gold and jade strands, and the slightly curly hair hanging down from the temples make him a little more unruly.
Her thin lips were slightly red, but when she spoke slowly, she was as gentle as jade: "Girl, please sit down!"
"Go to the dock!" He ordered the driver outside the carriage.
"Yes, sir!"
"Is there something urgent, miss?" He looked at Gong Yaozheng's embarrassed look, raised his lips and asked with a smile.
"Well, thank you for your help, sir, but I never like to owe anyone favors. Please accept this money, sir!" Gong Yaozheng thought for a while and handed over the purse in his hand.
The man raised his eyebrows, looked at his purse, and laughed softly: "Do you think I am short of money? The girl should keep this purse. Besides, a woman's purse cannot be given away casually!"
Gong Yaozheng was slightly startled. This person must be a vixen. He talks as he pleases and even has a hook!
Gong Yaozheng quickly took back his purse, took out the money, and put it on the tea table in the carriage: "It's your business if you don't need money, and it's my business whether I give it to you or not."
The carriage was moving very fast on the street. Gong Yaozheng was a little embarrassed on the carriage. What was this man staring at? Do you have flowers on your face?
Finally, Gong Yaozheng couldn't help it anymore: "Master, what's the emergency? The dock is coming soon. If Master has something important, I can get out of the car and go by myself."
Gong Yaozheng looked through the curtains of the car window at the dock getting closer and closer. She couldn't stay any longer!
"Stop the car!" The young man followed suit and actually stopped the car.
Gong Yao left the carriage as if fleeing. In a panic, the jade pendant around his waist got caught in the gap on the side of the carriage and fell into the carriage.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his expression no longer as kind as before, his eyes stopped on the fallen jade pendant, the silver thread in his hand slightly tightened, and the jade pendant fell into his hand.
His slender fingers traced the word "palace" on the jade pendant, and on the back was "yao". His ink-like eyes were slightly lowered, hiding the look under his eyes: "Interesting!" He seemed to be murmuring, but also seemed to have discovered something interesting. prey.
"Father, I think I found her!"
…
Gong Yaozheng got off the carriage and looked at the dock not far away. It was so dangerous! Before anyone left, she hurried over.
When Gong Yuanzheng saw his sister, he came up to her and said with a smile: "Sister, you were chased by a dog? Are you running in such a hurry? Why don't you take a carriage?"
Gong Yaozheng glanced at him and looked at Gong Shangjiao who was already on the boat: "Second brother, take care!"
Gong Shangjiao's face that was originally covered with ice raised a smile: "It's not easy waiting for you to see me off. If it were any later, I would have already arrived in Gusu!"
"Unexpected, unexpected! Second brother, go slowly!" Gong Yaozheng waved his hand to send Gong Shangjiao off.
Gong Shangjiao turned his back and stopped looking at her. Is this girl so happy that she is gone?
"Jin Fu, ask the secret guards to protect the second lady secretly. If you have anything to report to me!"
"But, the second lady doesn't have Mr. Zheng by her side..."
"Talk too much!"
"yes!"
Seeing Gong Shangjiao walking away, Gong Yuanzheng turned back, walked to Gong Yuanzheng, and said with a mysterious face: "Brother Yuanzheng, do you know why I was late just now?"
Gong Yuanzheng's curiosity was aroused: "Why? Could it be that he is the Wufeng assassin!"
"Yes! It's the Wufeng Assassin!" Gong Yaozheng was slightly startled and clapped his hands. Regardless of whether it was the case before, it is now.
Gong Yuanzheng turned Gong Yuanzheng around worriedly: "Sister, are you not injured?"
Gong Yaozheng was stunned and stabilized his body: "I'm fine, I just heard that there is a very elegant place, something unusual! Do you want to come with me to investigate?"
Gong Yuanzheng: "Let's go!"
The gauze is slightly lifted, the breeze is blowing on the sleeves, and it is full of light fragrance...
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng stood at the door of the west building...
The first thing you see is the marble steps at the door, the white marble pillars, the carved beams and painted columns, which are extremely extravagant... no, elegant, elegant!
Just as he was about to walk in, he was pulled back by Gong Yuanzheng, who looked unkind. Although Gong Yuanzheng was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, is this the elegant place you said?"
Sure enough, he couldn't believe it. He should have been on guard against his sister's interest in this building yesterday.
"Lao Zhang said, this is the most elegant place in Jindu. It's not what you think. How can I still lie to you? Let's go!" With that said, he pulled Gong Yuanzheng in and walked in seriously.
As soon as Fang entered, he saw a courtyard with small bridges and flowing water, full of rare treasures. The gems in the water reflected the radiant light in the sun. It was elegant, so elegant!
Although the West Tower is not as lively at night during the day, it is still open to welcome guests. The music of the piano is lingering. Going to the left is Yingge Tower, and going to the right is Yanyu Pavilion...
Who is Gong Yaozheng? Is she a womanizer? Of course, go to the right!
But before he had even taken two steps, he was stopped by someone: "Miss Young Master, please stay. Yanyu Pavilion does not accept male guests! Male guests, please move to Yingge Pavilion."
Hearing this, Gong Yuanzheng grabbed Gong Yuanzheng and asked her with his eyes: "Don't accept male guests? Is this serious? Go back!"
How can Gong Yaozheng be willing?
She coughed lightly and said coldly: "Don't you have eyes? Didn't you see that this is my sister? Where did this male guest come from?"
Expedition sister: "..."
Hearing Gong Yuanzheng's words of certainty, the guard became a little unsure and looked at Gong Yuanzheng up and down.
"What are you looking at? My sister likes to wear men's clothes, do you care?" Gong Yaozheng took a step forward to block the guard's view.
Seeing that the two were dressed luxuriously and looked like they were not easy to mess with, the guard had no choice but to let them go: "You two ladies, please!"
In this way, Gong Yuanzheng pulled the reluctant Gong Yuanzheng into Yanyu Pavilion.
As soon as he was led into a room by the servant, Gong Yuanzheng shook off Gong Yuanzheng's hand: "Sister, if I let brother know about this..."
"Shh, he won't know, as long as you don't tell!"
Gong Yuanzheng looked at such a confident sister, his ears twitched slightly, and the sound of fluttering white pigeons reached his ears. His expression was complicated... Brother, I stopped you, but I didn't!
The waiter served wine and food, and the sound of poetry reciting came from the next door. Everything was normal at this point: "Let me just say, this is an elegant place!"
Gong Yuanzheng was dubious. The West Tower looked like the Wanhua Tower at first glance. Could it be that it was really different?
As soon as Gong Yuanzheng sat down, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a man pushed the door in. Then came a row of... beautiful men with different styles... There were two of them, wearing something cool!
Gong Yuanzheng covered Gong Yuanzheng's eyes: "Get out!"
Gong Yaozheng's eyes darkened, but he still said: "Wait a minute!"
The male mother was just about to take a few people out when she was stopped. She cursed in her heart, now do all the women bring concubines when they visit Yanyu Pavilion? Look at the people who make you popular, they will kill you!
"What are your orders, Miss!"
Gong Yuanzheng took Gong Yuanzheng's hand away, glanced at the two border men, and threw two blankets over: "You two, put them on!"
The two looked at each other, picked up the blanket, and covered their looming abdominal muscles and mermaid lines...
"I heard that your Yanyu Pavilion has a leader, would you be lucky enough to meet him? Money is not an issue!" Gong Yaozheng said richly.
The male mother chuckled softly: "Young lady, are you kidding me? Does anyone in Jindu know that Mr. Jiao is the boss of the West Building? He never accepts customers!"
"Ahem!" Gong Yaozheng choked at the reception.
"I'm not asking him to pick up guests, I just want to make friends!" Gong Yaozheng touched his waist and was slightly startled. Where is the jade pendant?
"What's wrong?" Seeing Gong Yuanzheng's expression change, Gong Yuanzheng also looked at her waist, which was empty.
"My jade pendant!" It is a symbol of the palace gate's status. When going out, it represents the palace gate. The direct descendants of the palace gate belong to one person, and the lines inside cannot be faked.
"The carriage must have been left on the carriage!" Gong Yuanzheng stood up and was pulled back by Gong Yuanzheng: "Sister!"
Gong Yuanzheng looked at the people still standing in the room and shook his head at her. Gong Yuanzheng understood and sat down. Gong Yuanzheng took out his jade pendant, looked at the male mother, and said slowly: "Gongmen, I want to make friends with Xilou!"
As soon as the male mother heard about the palace gate, her expression changed: "Sir, wait a moment, I'll go and report!"
After saying that, he left with all the beauties. Gong Yaozheng looked at the man wearing a blanket and looked back at him. He couldn't help feeling cold, even though he had a good figure...
"What? Sister, you want to keep two more? It's not too dirty!" Gong Yuanzheng washed his fingers with tea and shook off the water stains. Just now, his hand touched the table!
Gong Yaozheng laughed twice, joking, how could she use something that others had used?
"Sister, can you tell me now what you are going to do here! Is this what you call extraordinary?" Gong Yuanzheng wiped his hands with a handkerchief, frowned slightly, and looked at Gong Yuanzheng seriously.
Gong Yaozheng picked up the drink on the table and put it down in disgust: "Natural, extraordinary, luxurious!"
Gong Yaozheng said, looking at the decoration of the room. Apart from anything else, the table in front of them was made of red sandalwood, the incense burner was dyed with sandalwood, and the large carved bed in the inner room was covered with red sandalwood. It's Yunluo silk, shining brilliantly under the light coming from the window...
The window is exquisitely carved, and the wood is extraordinary, glowing with a touch of red. There is a beautiful scenery outside the window, rockeries, small ponds, blue lotus roots, pink water lilies, reflecting the sparkling gems dotted under the water...
In the middle of the west wall hangs a large gold-framed painting called "Picture of Smoke and Rain".
There is a couplet hanging on the left and right sides. The handwriting is beautiful and the pen is like a dragon and a snake. The words are: haze and leisurely bones, spring and stone wild life.
On the left side of the red sandalwood shelf is a large plate from a large official kiln, which contains dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite large Buddha hands.
A white jade chime hangs on the foreign paint shelf on the right, and a small hammer hangs next to it.
This is just a guest room...
Gong Yuanzheng followed Gong Yuanzheng's gaze and noticed something unusual: "So, is there something different here?"
Gong Yuanzheng approached Gong Yuanzheng mysteriously: "No, please explain, the boss of Xilou..."
Gong Yuanzheng paused, looking at Gong Yuanzheng's nervous look, he couldn't help but smile: "Very rich!"
Gong Yuanzheng: "..."
"I have asked Lao Zhang, our Gongmen industry does not have any cooperation with Xilou. Moreover, this Xilou has more than one place in the world. For such a rich boss, if he doesn't cooperate, wouldn't he feel sorry for these people? Tables, chairs and benches?" Gong Yuanzheng stopped teasing Gong Yuanzheng and straightened his expression.
Moreover, she felt that this West Building was a great place! You see, you can clearly hear what’s going on next door!
Immediately, Gong Yaozheng raised his voice and said: "Young master in the suburbs hides and listens to people in the corner, isn't it good?"
When Gong Yuanzheng heard this, he noticed that the poetry recital next door had stopped at some point.
As the door was opened, a tall, handsome man with an elegant demeanor appeared in front of the door. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Girl, we meet again!"
"It's you!" Gong Yaozheng stood up directly with a surprised look on his face.
"Sister, do you know him?" Gong Yuanzheng also stood up, looked at the man, then at his sister, stopped in front of Gong Yuanzheng, and protected Gong Yuanzheng behind him.
"I don't know him!" Gong Yaozheng denied it. He was a pervert, staring at him on the carriage!
"Girl, you are such a noble person who forgets things. It is clear that you and I rode in the same carriage this morning. Could it be that Yan remembered it wrong? What a pity, then this jade pendant no longer belongs to the girl!" Yan Jiao stretched out his hand. He fiddled with the jade pendant in his hand.
Gong Yaozheng looked at the jade pendant and hurriedly went to get it, but Yan Jiao dodged and said, "What are you doing, girl? Throwing yourself into my arms? Sorry, Yan doesn't accept guests!"
Gong Yaozheng: "..."
Seeing that his sister was being teased, Gong Yuanzheng took out the dagger in his hand and moved in front of Yan Jiao. He put the dagger on Yan Jiao's neck: "Return the jade pendant to sister! Otherwise..."
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes darkened, and he used a little force to make him feel the pain without being injured!
After all, they are not here to cause trouble!
Yan Jiao felt the coldness on her neck and raised her hand to stop the attendant behind him from drawing the sword.
Yan Jiao handed the jade pendant to Gong Yuanzheng who was standing aside. Gong Yuanzheng took it and signaled Gong Yuanzheng to let him go.
Gong Yuanzheng took a step back and put away the knife neatly.
"The palace gate is indeed extraordinary!" Yan Jiao raised his hand and touched his neck, but he was not injured.
"I heard that Gongmen wants to cooperate with someone Yan?" Yan Jiao crossed the palace and sat on a chair nearby, turning the ring in his hand, looking a little lazy.
"It's not that I want it, it's because the palace gate wants to give Xilou a chance!" Gong Yaozheng glanced at the coachman at the door. He looked wary at this moment. Gong Yaozheng suddenly realized that he was not a coachman, but a guard!
"Oh? Now Wu Feng covers the sky with one hand in the world, why should I want the opportunity of the palace? My west building is spread all over the capital, you say, why don't I cooperate with Wu Feng?" Yan Jiao said provocatively, without any trace of it. That gentle look in the morning was indeed a disguise!
"You are looking for death!" Gong Yuanzheng took a step forward and raised Wu Feng in front of the palace gate. He was really not afraid of death!
Yan Jiao raised the corner of her mouth slightly and looked into Shang Gong Yuanzheng's eyes: "Brother, control your temper!"
Gong Yuanzheng snorted coldly and put the knife on Yan Jiao's neck again: "Are you worthy of calling me brother?"
Gong Yaozheng looked at this scene coldly, analyzing Yan Jiao's micro-expression: "Yuanzheng, let's go!"
As he was about to leave, Gong Yuanzheng also retracted his knife and followed closely.
Sure enough, he was stopped by the guard at the door!
"Aren't you going to cooperate? Are you giving up like this?" Yan Jiao sat up straight with a look of confusion on his face.
Gong Yaozheng's expression did not change and he turned around: "It's not about giving up, it's about being sure!"
"oh?"
"We will be friends from now on, right?"
"How can I see it?"
"Your hand!" Gong Yaozheng looked at the ring in Yan Jiao's hand. He kept turning it unconsciously as he spoke.
However, when he mentioned Wu Feng, he stopped and tapped the wrench twice with his fingertips.
There are two possibilities, one is that he has colluded with Wu Feng for a long time, and the second is that he has a grudge against Wu Feng!
"You have a grudge against Wu Feng!"
Gong Yaozheng met Yan Jiao's eyes, and sure enough, when he mentioned having a grudge, Yan Jiao's eyes changed.
"How can you be so sure that I'm not Wu Feng?" Yan Jiao stood up and looked down at Gong Yaozheng.
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure now! Mr. Jiao, stop pretending!" Gong Yuanzheng reached for Yan Jiao's waist amid Gong Yuanzheng's shocked expression.
Yan Jiao dodged, but saw a silver thread hooked in Gong Yaozheng's hand, smiling slyly: "If you were Wu Feng, Yuan Zheng's brother would be dead now! Besides, how could Wu Feng rush to say that he is Wu Feng?" ?”
Gong Yaozheng thought for a long time and still didn't understand why his jade pendant fell off when it was hung so firmly on his waist.
Until he saw the ring finger, the silver thread around his waist, and the Silk Killing Technique, Yuanzheng's brother's distance just now exposed his life gate directly in front of his eyes. If he had murderous intentions, neither she nor Yuanzheng's brother would be able to leave today. Get out of this room.
Everything he did was just to consider whether the person who came to cooperate was worthy of his cooperation and whether he was smart enough!
Obviously, Gong Yaozheng is smart enough!
Yan Jiao clapped her hands: "Second Miss of the Gong family, there are very few rumors about you in the world. But when Yan met you today, it was like old friends at the first sight!"
As he said that, he looked at the surrounding furnishings, then stood up and walked out the door: "This room is really simple. If you don't mind, please move to my residence."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
Gong Yuanzheng passed by Gong Yuanzheng and saw that he didn't know what he was thinking. He pulled him up and followed Yan Jiao to the highest attic of Yan Yu Pavilion.
Gong Yuanzheng was pulled by his sister, but his sister's analysis just now was in his mind. Indeed, if this was a bladeless assassin, he would be... wrong!
Gong Yuanzheng touched the door of life. There was a breast shield that his sister had given him personally when she went to Shang Palace to consult Gong Zishang on his first birthday!
But others don’t know this...
