At three o'clock in the morning, Wei Jing was still exploring around the city of Nanjing. He had not visited Yuqin again in the past few days. If there were always people on the roof when Miss Qin played the piano, wouldn't it have ruined her interest in playing the piano?
It would be even more disturbing to enter the room directly, so Wei Jing just stayed in the room and listened.
At this time, Wei Jing glanced at a familiar piece of clothing in the distance and thought: "That person seems to be Zhao Yachen, the owner of the third floor of Yangxin Building? The name of this Yangxin Building is called Yangxin, but it specializes in doing bad things. I don't know what to do with it. . Is this person appearing here also for the purpose of "Ten Thousand Warriors Return to Hidden"? "
Since participants of "Ten Thousand Warriors Return to Hidden" need to show up at least twice to register and attend the gathering, there are generally many evil sects and organizations in the world who have feuds with each other, so most of them will not participate.
At this time, the third floor owner of Yangxin Building appeared in Nanjing, which aroused Wei Jing's curiosity. Anyway, nothing happened, so he followed him.
Zhao Yachen was very alert. He took many detours along the way and looked back from time to time. Seeing that no one was following him, he moved forward quickly.
This gesture deepened Wei Jing's doubts until he walked into a drug store on the edge of the downtown area. The drug store's name was "Huichun Tang". This humble name actually aroused more suspicion.
After Zhao Yachen entered, Wei Jing leaned against the back wall and listened intently to what was going on inside. Then Zhao Yachen said: "This time Yangxin Tower and..."
In the middle of speaking, Wei Jing suddenly jumped out of the window. Hearing something different in his voice, Wei Jing was secretly on guard. As soon as he heard his move, he climbed up on the roof, picked up a stone in his hand, and flicked it to the corner of the roof. Hearing the sound of "buckle", Wei Jing had turned to the other side of the drug store, and Zhao Yachen also jumped onto the roof at the same time.
At this time, another voice came from inside the house and asked: "Is there anyone there?" Zhao Yachen looked around and then jumped off the roof and replied: "I must be too worried." Another person said: "Then, Shangguan is an upright person. What’s the current situation?”
Zhao Yachen said: "We are quarreling over the matter of participating in "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors". According to reports from spies, they hold secret discussions almost every day, but they have never reached a consensus..."
Zhao Yachen paused and continued: "The time is ripe."
Another person said: "Very good. Most of the first generation of Shangguan family will go to Wuchang to attend the birthday banquet in one day. Within a few days, only the second and third generations will stay at home. When everything is ready, the third floor owner can take action at midnight in five days." ." Zhao Yachen said: "Okay, we will meet at the Tiger Hill Sword Testing Stone after everything is done."
Another person warned: "Remember, kill more of Shangguan Daoming's upright people. If Shangguan Daoming is clear, kill two or three of his insignificant people, just to cover up people's eyes. If Shangguan Daoming is questioned, you can say that the sword has no eyes, and he is a small person anyway. For Taking the overall situation into consideration, he will never fall out. The roster is here, keep it carefully."
Zhao Yachen said: "I know, and the main geisha in our building will be left to you."
Another person said: "Don't worry, I have already found the owner of Qingyan Building for this matter, and I will buy her tomorrow and give her to the owner of the building."
Wei Jing was shocked and thought: "It shouldn't be so easy to buy a geisha from Qingyan Tower, right? These villains kill people without blinking an eye. Just because they have money, they buy geishas as gifts and give them to others." Do they think they're human? Since I've caught them, I have to make this vicious plan go to hell."
Another person added: "In this operation, the eldest young master is one of ours. The third young master has not yet matured in martial arts and is not in danger. Only the second young master Shangguan Feichen. It is said that his sword skills are superb and he has inherited his father's true skills. Although there are sufficient manpower this time , if the third floor owner encounters him, he still shouldn’t be careless.”
Zhao Yachen said: "This building has been in business for many years. Please wait for my good news. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. See you in Huqiu in five days."
When Wei Jing saw that the conversation was over, he quietly moved his feet until he took three steps away from the wall before leaving quietly.
It was almost dusk when he returned to the inn. Wei Jing's thoughts were up and down, and he was wondering: "Is the geisha they are talking about Miss Qin? Even if it is really her, what position do I have to intervene? In any case, I have to come to the door tonight to harass and explore. Tanqin girl’s tone.”
Then he thought again: "Shangguan's family is a famous martial arts family. This evil disaster is coming. Although I don't know the cause and effect, those two people have a vicious plan in hand and don't take human life seriously. How can there be any justice in the world? What happened to Miss Qin? Once it is settled, I will rush to Suzhou and act according to the opportunity."
Wei Jing had some concerns in his mind, so he immediately started writing quickly. After writing, he put the note into his clothes and walked out of the inn towards the street. After a while, I found the shop I had visited recently, bought a few plum blossom cakes, and then walked into another pawn shop.
When Wei Jing saw the shopkeeper, he put the jade pendant in his arms on the table and said, "Shopkeeper, this jade pendant is not in good condition. I want to pawn it. How much will your shop pay for it?"
The shopkeeper said: "I'm afraid this jade pendant is only worth five cents." Wei Jing said: "Can you count me nine cents?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper just nodded. Wei Jing casually put the note he just wrote into the shopkeeper's hand, and then said: "Forget it, what can nine cents buy? Come back another day, I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left the pawn shop.
Leaving Wei Jing and returning to the guest room, he then jumped onto the roof of the Qingyan Building. At this time, it was the time when the Jade Rabbit was rising and the business of the brothel was good. However, there was only the sound of the piano in the Yu Qin Room, and no guests could be heard talking. , Wei Jing had no choice but to knock on the window and whisper: "Miss Qin?"
He heard the woman's soft words coming from the room: "Mr. Wei? Please come in and talk." Wei Jing said, "Excuse me." He then opened the window and entered the room.
He saw Yuqin still sitting in front of the guqin, with no makeup on her face and wearing a relatively simple green shirt. Even so, Wei Jing still felt that this woman's features were picturesque and her aura was radiant.
Yuqin said, "Mr. Wei, did you come early to listen to the piano today?" A few days ago, when Wei Jing came to listen to the piano, he always came late at night when there were no guests. That's why there is a saying in Yuqin.
Wei Jing smiled and said, "That's right. I always come here to listen to Miss Qin's music in vain a few days ago. I feel a little sorry. Today I brought some snacks to pay off Miss Qin's debt."
After saying that, he took the oil paper bag containing the plum blossom cake in his hand and said, "If Miss Qin is greedy in her spare time, she can pick up a piece and try it. I have been to this shop several times in recent days, and the craftsmanship is very good."
Plum blossom cake is a traditional snack in the Jiangnan area. It originated in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Qianlong tasted it when he went to Jiangnan. He later praised it and said it was better than the palace snack. Because its appearance was similar to plum blossoms, he gave it the name plum blossom. cake.
Yuqin smiled and said: "Young Master Wei is interested. The slave family knew that Young Master Wei came here to listen to the piano on the first day. If he doesn't want to listen to you in vain, he will never play again. Why should you be upset?"
After pondering for a while, he added: "It's just... our steward in the building will come to the girl's room every night to count the gifts given by the guests. If there are no guests today but there are still snacks, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."
When I arrived just now, Yuqin was playing the piano. It was not a good opportunity to have snacks at this time. Wei Jing felt slightly disappointed and said: "I see, that's because I didn't think carefully. I will just..."
Just as he was about to take it back, he suddenly saw Yuqin standing up and walking towards Wei Jing, and knelt down next to Wei Jing. Wei Jing could only smell the light fragrance of flowers, and his head went blank for a moment, and he didn't know where he was.
Then Yuqin reached out and took the plum blossom cake from Wei Jing's hand. After unpacking it, she actually took one and ate it. Wei Jing was really surprised.
While tasting the plum blossom cake, Yuqin said: "Yes, this plum blossom cake is indeed delicious, and the craftsmanship is quite meticulous. It is not like the work of a street vendor."
There was still food in Yuqin's mouth when she spoke, and one of her cheeks was slightly bulging. If she were an ordinary woman, she would be a bit rude while eating and talking, but Yuqin, an elegant and quiet woman, actually ate snacks until her cheeks bulged. Wei Jing I just feel indescribably cute.
Seeing Wei Jing looking at her, Yu Qin said: "Master Wei?"
Wei Jing immediately said: "I'm sorry, I was just thinking that a building as famous as Qingyan Tower would have strict requirements on the girl's manners, but I didn't expect that Miss Qin also has such a straightforward side."
Yuqin turned her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Master Wei is not a guest." This was the second time Yuqin said this.
At this time, the first piece of plum blossom cake had been eaten. A strand of Yuqin's hair hung down, slightly blocking her sight. She reached out and pushed the hair behind her ear, and then took another piece. Wei Jing could see this scene. Stunned, he quickly asked: "Has Miss Qin ever eaten it?"
Yu Qin thought for a while and said, "Yes, there are always various snacks in the building, and the guests will also bring some food to the girls in the building." Wei Jing thought to himself: "I am really confused, Miss Qin is both talented and beautiful. , the guests have to please her, I'm afraid she has also tasted the delicacies from the next province." Zhengzi was very upset.
Yuqin noticed Wei Jing's expression and smiled: "However, I have never eaten what Mr. Wei gave me."
Wei Jing was stunned for a moment and said from the bottom of his heart: "Miss Qin is really considerate."
Yuqin just shook his head. At this time, he had finished eating the second piece. Yuqin stood up and returned to the guqin. He smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you Mr. Wei. It's rare to have a free time today. With this plum blossom cake by my side, I won't feel lonely." "
Wei Jing put away the remaining plum blossom cakes and said, "If so, why is it a little deserted today?"
Yuqin pondered for a long time and said: "Maybe the slave family only plays the piano and has no smile on his face, so the guests don't like to come?"
Wei Jing was about to answer when he heard a voice calling from outside the room: "Miss Yuqin, my boss wants to see you for something!"
Yuqin said loudly: "Yes, the Nu family will come over right away." This was the first time Wei Jing heard Yuqin speak so loudly.
Then Wei Jing said: "If you do this, I won't bother you. It's important to be summoned by my boss."
Yu Qin did not stand up after nodding, as if she had something to say. Wei Jing was startled. Yu Qin always spoke decisively, but now she suddenly hesitated.
After a while, Yuqin said: "Master, please go slowly." Then he stood up and left.
Wei Jing could only say: "Goodbye." Then he opened the window and jumped back to the room.
