Although others had shown clear dissatisfaction, the two of them showed no intention of stopping.
One likes to look at problems with a serious attitude, and the other likes to look at problems with a relaxed attitude. It is not really a contradiction. Everyone must take the problem seriously anyway. But what Han Lu didn't like the most was someone making sarcastic remarks while everyone was busy - yes, Bai Shuyu's jokes seemed to him to be sarcastic remarks.
And Bai Shuyu... felt that the conflict between the two was a bit inexplicable, and he deeply believed that Han Lu was not cured yet.
But Han Lu still wanted to be reasonable: "Do you know when you shouldn't joke?"
Bai Shuyu retorted: "Everyone is so tired, what's wrong with making a joke to liven up the atmosphere?"
"You think you're funny?"
"Otherwise? Aren't you going to beat me up? Why don't you do it? Don't worry, Jade will definitely not help me."
Amber finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up suddenly. With one hand and one hand, she grabbed the collars of the two of them and dragged them to the corner. She picked up the scabbard and slapped them randomly, making the two of them moan.
When Hu Bo snatched Han Lu away, Li Fenglan was still leaning on his shoulder. The area under her head suddenly became empty, causing her to almost fall to the ground. After realizing what happened, she didn't say anything, but sat next to Jade, leaned on her shoulder, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
The two of them protected their heads with their hands, and Han Lu said loudly: "Why did you hit me?! Shouldn't you have hit him?"
Bai Shuyu was begging for mercy loudly: "Stop, stop, stop! I won't make any noise! He was the one who started it!"
After fighting for a long time, the two of them were already bruised and swollen. Zhu Mingyu felt that they were almost done, so she stood up and pulled Hu Hui back. While pulling her, she said, "Okay, let's calm down, don't move the fetus."
Amber threw the scabbard to the ground and said viciously: "Be honest!"
The two nodded quickly.
When Amber returned to the bonfire, the two of them grinned and rubbed the red and swollen areas on their bodies where Amber had slapped her.
Bai Shuyu's expression suddenly changed and he put his hand into his arms: "Oops! I missed it!"
The aroma of wine wafted into everyone's noses, and Bai Shuyu took out a water bag from his arms. The water bag was damaged by the amber, and a small amount of it flowed out.
Han Lu frowned: "You also hid the wine?"
Before Bai Shuyu said anything, Li Fenglan had already walked up to him, snatched the wine bag, returned to the campfire and took a long drink. Jade reached for the water bag and took a big sip. Finally it fell into Zhu Mingyu's hand, and he took a big sip. Amber doesn't like drinking, and she can't drink even though she's pregnant.
Originally, this water bag was not big, and it leaked a little. After three big mouthfuls, it was empty.
Bai Shuyu wailed: "Save a little!"
Zhu Mingyu looked at him, the mouth of the bag was facing downwards, and it fell over. There was not a drop left.
Bai Shuyu sighed, looked at his chest, picked up his collar and said, "Forget it, there's still some here." After that, he put the collar into his mouth and started sucking on it.
"Ah..." Bai Shuyu let out a long breath and said, "Who doesn't have this blessing?"
Han Lu said: "Amber."
Amber glared at the two of them: "It's not over yet, is it?"
It was raining lightly outside, and the six people in the cave were dejected, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Accompanied by the sound of rain, several people who had been tired for the whole day finally fell asleep. No one had been arranged to keep vigil, and they had no extra energy.
Li Fenglan has been unable to sleep. She has been unable to sleep since they started quarreling. She forced herself to find a way to break the situation, but after thinking about it for most of the night, she still couldn't find a way out. She leaned back, Jade's not-so-wide back giving her a sense of security.
At Haishi, she heard Han Lu and Bai Shuyu sneaking out. As for where they went, whether they were going to a duel or something else, she didn't bother to care. They did whatever they liked.
Not long after Zishi passed, the cautious footsteps of two people reached Li Fenglan's ears, but she still didn't open her eyes.
The two people walked to the bonfire, rustling and not knowing where they were.
do what. Half an hour later, a burst of meaty fragrance drifted into Li Fenglan's nostrils. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard Amber's surprised voice: "Where did you get it?!"
Now, everyone is awake.
I saw a few skinned rabbits roasting on the bonfire. I don't know where the two of them got the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and they were putting seasoning on the rabbits.
Bai Shuyu said: "We have been hungry all day. The rain was light just now, so we went out to look for anything to eat, and happened to see this nest of rabbits. Three generations of the whole family are here."
Han Lu sprinkled a pinch of salt: "There is a village not far away. I went to a house late at night and bought some seasonings, some steamed buns and water. The meat will be roasted in a while, let's eat together."
Amber, who had beaten the two of them into pig heads just now, suddenly cried: "I'm sorry, I beat you just now, it's my fault."
Zhu Mingyu hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, they both deserve it."
Pregnant women are always sentimental. Before now, Amber would not have apologized to them.
These six people, except Han Lu, are all young ladies and young masters from wealthy families. Now facing these roasted rabbits, no one cares about their image and feasts on them.
When people are hungry, they always feel that they can eat a lot, but in fact they can't eat much before they feel full. But this didn't suit Amber, who ate two steamed buns alone... plus two rabbits, one big and one small.
Han Lu looked at Amber and suddenly smiled and said, "Mother and son, they are all in your belly."
Li Fenglan gave him an elbow: "Stop saying a few words. Didn't you just say that Bai Shuyu loves to joke?"
Han Lu shrugged and didn't refute anything.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Bai Shuyu suddenly took out another water bag from his chest, took two sips and quickly stuffed it with a cork.
Han Lu glanced at him, frowned and asked, "Where did you get it?"
"Where did you get it? Didn't you get the water?"
"Don't come here, what you just drank was wine."
"No, it's water."
"Hand it over."
"I told you, it's water."
"Bai Laosan, don't make me beat you."
Amber glared: "Are you still here? Bai Shuyu, just give it to him! Just like a child!"
Bai Shuyu handed over the water bag angrily, and Han Lu snatched it away and took a big gulp, which made Bai Shuyu feel distressed. But this time it was just the two of them drinking, and no one was trying to compete with them.
After eating and drinking, they were no longer sleepy, and it was raining heavily outside.
Li Fenglan suddenly slapped her thigh, her mood rising.
Bai Shuyu asked: "Have you thought of a way?"
Li Fenglan shook her head and replied with a smile: "That's right."
"tell me the story."
Everyone pricked up their ears, and Li Fenglan lowered her voice: "I know where the Golden God of Wealth hides his treasure."
Bai Shuyu asked: "What can we get in exchange for this? Apart from attracting more people to hunt us down, it has no other effect, right?"
Li Fenglan asked, "Whose daughter am I?"
"Li...Fengyao?"
"That's right!" Li Fenglan's eyes shone, "To the Jianghu people, I am Li Fengyao's good daughter. As long as I say that I told her the secret of the treasure place, who will not believe it? Even if I don't tell her, some people will. Do you think so?"
"Then what? There are many people who want to kill her now, but no one knows where she is. Jade has been chasing her for so long, and he hasn't even seen her shadow."
"It's easy to get things done when there are many people. Three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang. As long as everyone is looking for her whereabouts, they won't have to worry about finding her out. Besides, there may be unexpected gains."
"What unexpected gain?"
"Chen Zijue told me that he wanted to compete with me again and wanted to learn from me where the Golden God of Wealth's treasure is. This is the prize between me and him. As long as I release this news, he will definitely Try your best to find Li Fengyao."
Bai Shuyu didn't believe it a little: "Then Chen Zijue is not a fool, he can definitely calculate it."
This is your step. "
"It's better if I figure it out. If I figure it out, he will take the initiative to help me."
Jade said: "What you are talking about is a long-term solution, but what about now? We are still being hunted right now."
Li Fenglan leaned on Han Lu's shoulder and said with a smile: "For now, let's just keep a low profile. If someone finds out, we'll beat him. There's nothing to say. It's best to rush back to Chaolan Valley as soon as possible."
After having enough wine and food, Li Fenglan thought of a countermeasure again, and they slept fairly well that night.
Early the next morning, the six people first found a nearby town, bought horses, carriages, and some dry food, simply disguised themselves, and continued on their way north.
Perhaps the words Li Fenglan said to those Jianghu people hiding in the dark yesterday had an effect. For several days, they never suffered any decent attacks. She also revealed the news about the treasure place where the God of Gold and Wealth is hidden through the Beggar Gang.
On the surface, no one seemed to care about this matter, but secretly, some sects began to make plans.
The God of Gold and Wealth was as rich as the country. He was not idle and inactive during his lifetime. Who knows how much money he saved.
Li Fengyao's expression became even colder after hearing about this incident. She also wanted to know where the treasure of the Golden God of Wealth was hidden. Since ancient times, military strategists have always used food and grass first. It would cost a lot of money for her to raise so many people. Among the forces under her command, the most profitable one is Yaoxian Valley, followed by Gongshu clan, and then Nuyuan. Now that the Yaoxian Valley is in turmoil, there are far fewer people going there to seek medical advice. The Yaoxian Valley is currently only able to balance its income and expenditure. Moreover, after Doctor Xiaoya died, Li Fengyao could not find anyone to replace her for a while, so Yaoxian Valley was out of touch for her.
The Gongshu family was severely injured by Linghan some time ago, and even self-protection became a problem. Many craftsmen simply left temporarily and were already unable to make ends meet.
As for the Women's Garden, although it was the least affected, the Women's Garden received money too slowly and often needed Li Fengyao to contribute.
For a time, Li Fengyao was a little short of money. She wanted to catch Li Fenglan immediately and interrogate her about the whereabouts of the mysterious treasure.
…
"Girl, girl, are you here looking for someone?"
At the entrance of Hongxiuzhao, the largest brothel in Jiangling City, the old madam waved her handkerchief, with a playful smile on her face, and was sizing up the pretty pink-clad woman in front of her.
The old madam is a master she has seen before. A certain chivalrous woman comes to the brothel to catch her man. She has seen this kind of drama many times.
The woman in pink clothes smiled at the madam: "Of course I'm here to find someone."
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
"Looking for a girl."
The old bustard didn't react for a moment and asked, "What are you looking for?"
The woman in pink clothes was a little unhappy: "Why don't you come to a brothel to find a girl? Are you looking for a man?"
The old madam understood. The heroine in front of her... might be a bit playful... She had never seen such a woman before. Many of those women who were controlled by dogma and raised in purdah had this tendency. But, she had never seen a woman who went to a brothel to find a girl openly.
Seeing that the old madam didn't speak, the woman in pink became even more unhappy: "You don't want to earn money?"
After saying that, she threw a piece of silver ingot at the old bustard, at least thirty taels.
When the old bustard saw the money, he immediately beamed. If you have money, you will be a bastard.
"Girl, please come in!"
This girl seemed to be a veteran and was very familiar with the things in the brothel. When she entered the door, she directly ordered: "In the upper room, please bring a few beautiful ones for me to choose from."
In the evening, even though the brothel had just opened to attract customers, the place was already bustling with people, so no one noticed that the old madam had brought a beautiful girl into the brothel.
The old madam took five or six beautiful girls into the upper room. When they saw that there was also a girl in the room, they were stunned for a moment.
The woman in pink waved her hand and asked the madam to go out. She looked at the girls in front of her with a smile.
Before coming, the madam didn't tell them that the guest was a girl. All they had learned was how to please men. Faced with this woman who was even more beautiful than them, they didn't know what to say for a moment.
Could it be possible that... yes
The maid of a young master in a certain house? Someone who came out specifically to pick a woman for him?
The woman in pink asked with a smile: "What? Have you never received a female guest?"
As soon as these words came out, several girls realized: Oh, it turned out to be a good one.
In the teahouse outside Hongxiu Zhao, the two young people looked troubled.
They are members of the Thorn Clan, Xiong San’s subordinates. A few days ago, the hall master asked them to come out to look for Mrs. Xu. They searched for more than half a month and finally found her in Jiangling. Before they could come forward, Mrs. Xu actually entered the brothel? ?
Hall Master Xu is a good person, an aboveboard kind of person who never messes around. Now his wife has gone to this place... Thinking about it, the two of them felt... a bit hard to explain. What does this mean?
The two discussed it for a long time and decided to follow along. If Mrs. Xu was bullied, the third hall master would definitely skin them alive.
After entering the red sleeves, the old madam came over with a cheerful face: "Hey, you two guests, you haven't been here for a few days. Do you have any girls you know? It doesn't matter if you don't. The girls here are the most loving."
These two young men were both very upright people. They had never been to a place like a brothel. Looking at the beautiful girls passing by, they couldn't hold their heads up.
Hearing the old madam's question, one of the young men looked serious: "Let me ask you, did a girl come in just now?"
The old madam's expression changed, and she said to herself: That girl is probably the daughter of a wealthy family, and two servants are here to find someone.
The old madam didn't want to get into trouble, so she smiled and replied: "There is indeed a girl here, you two..."
"Where is it? Take us there."
The old madam brought the two of them to the door of the upper room and said with a smile, "It's already inside, so I won't disturb them."
After saying that, she ran away in a hurry. She was too lazy to get involved in the disputes of the wealthy family. When we got downstairs, we arranged for guards to guard us secretly. If there was any conflict and bottles were broken, we would have to ask them to compensate.
The two looked at each other at the door, then opened the door and walked in.
The room... how to put it... was a little different from the scene they imagined where Mrs. Xu was being bullied.
Linghan hugged the two girls, one on the left and the other on the right, with an intoxicating smile on her face. The five girls sat around her, feeding them wine and food... The two of them couldn't stand it. They never expected that Mrs. Xu would be so fond of this.
Looking at the two people entering the room, Ayana was stunned for a moment. She knew these two people and often followed Xiong San.
After being stunned for a while, Linghan asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
One of them clasped his fists with a puzzled expression on his face: "Mrs. Xu, we were ordered by the Third Hall Master to take you back."
Linghan nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's right... Hehe, I came just in time. I have something to do. You go to the door and guard it. Don't let anyone in. No matter what you hear, don't bother."
The two of them looked embarrassed: "This..."
"Obey, go and guard the door."
There was no choice but to go and guard the door. Have they heard that Mrs. Xu was already a famous chivalrous woman before she came to Thorns Gate? They are no match for her. As for what Mrs. Xu wants to do... Whatever, they are all women anyway, she can't suffer.
When the two of them left the house, the smile on Ayana's face disappeared. She pushed away the woman in her arms and asked coldly: "I have a few questions to ask you, and I ask you to answer them honestly. "
A woman smiled and said, "Miss, what do you want to ask? We will tell you everything we know."
Linghan looked at her and asked, "Which one of you came from the Women's Garden?"
After saying this, the expressions on the five women's faces changed and became a little shocked.
Linghan smiled and said, "It seems that you are all the same?"
Linghan shook her wrist, and a dagger appeared in her hand. She picked up a silk scarf and wiped the dagger carefully. She said softly: "This is easy. You see, will you answer it yourself, or will I force you to do it?" Where is the explanation?"
…
The old madam with red sleeves is happily receiving guests from all over the world. Tonight
The business is good and the income will not be less. At this time, a guard hurried to her side and whispered something in her ear.
The madam looked shocked and said, "Follow me."
Taking the guard to a secluded area in the backyard, the madam asked in a low voice, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, the news just came. Five brothels were all burned down. Those who survived said that they all received a girl in pink before the fire. She might... come for Miss Li."
The old madam gritted her teeth and said, "Send away the guests! Send people to surround the house! Don't let a single fly go!"
"yes!"
…
The two gatekeepers of the Thorn Gate were guarding the door when they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. Not long after, twenty or thirty men dressed as guards ran up from downstairs, all with their guys.
The two were shocked and hurriedly took out their weapons and shouted loudly: "What are you doing?!"
The old bustard walked into the wall of people and said coldly: "You little brats who don't know how to live or die, dare to find me on my head. I think you are tired of living! Throw down your weapons! Let's catch you without mercy! I can make you die happily!"
The two of them were a little nervous. Although their skills were not weak, they had a low chance of winning against so many people at once.
During the stalemate, the door behind him opened and Linghan slowly walked out.
She looked grim, and there were blood stains on her clothes, hands, and face. But in the house, not a single human voice could be heard.
Linghan looked at the old madam and suddenly smiled and said: "You hide evil with red sleeves and force good girls to become prostitutes. We, the Thorn Clan, uphold the righteous way of the martial arts world and are here to destroy you villains. Put down your weapons and I will give you a happy life." "
With Ayahan joining in, there was no suspense in this melee. What can the guards of a brothel be capable of? Nowadays, Ling Han is full of firepower and kills people without batting an eyelid.
Looking at the blazing brothel and the crowds of people on the street fighting the fire, Linghan showed no expression, neither the joy of success nor the helplessness of failure. Her mood has changed recently. She has become dull and no longer sensitive. Killing people or helping others can't make her feel any emotions.
The two people from Thorny Sect felt a little puzzled: Wasn't it said that Hongxiu recruited girls into prostitution? They burned Hong Xiu, but what about the women who were imprisoned? Mrs. Xu didn't seem to want to save anyone.
Ayana took a long breath and said softly: "I'll go back with you... let's go."
…
Li Fengyao's strategy worked. Now many people believe that Agarwood is seriously ill and will die soon.
Being the leader of the martial arts alliance is not a false position, and you have to deal with some things. Since she became the leader of the martial arts alliance, there have been several meetings between various sects, and she was invited every time, but she sent someone else to replace her every time. After the First World War in Chang'an, she never appeared in the arena again.
Coupled with the news of leaks from inside the Thorn Gate, the matter gradually spread. Some even said she was dead.
The things the Thorns Sect has done recently have offended many people. Xu Qingchen has a very tough attitude towards the sects that have colluded with Li Fengyao, and often goes to war without declaring war. For a time, many martial arts people gathered at the foot of Thorny Gate Mountain. They wanted to go to Thorny Gate to ask for an explanation - the most important thing is: to see whether Agarwood Branch is dead or not.
Agarwood's combat power is higher than that of the Jade Fairy. With such a murderous god, no one dares to come to her door. But if she gets seriously ill, or dies, that's easier to say. I think back then, when Qiao Fei was seriously ill, several small fish gangs around him dared to kill him at the mountain gate. Now... it's not just as simple as killing him at the mountain gate.
Feng Yao was ill and had not dealt with the affairs of the sect for some time. Xu Qingchen had the final say in the Thorns Sect now.
"Qingchen!" Xiong San shouted and rushed into the lobby. Xu Qingchen was standing in front of the door master's throne, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hearing Xiong San come in, he didn't look back.
"Qingchen, those Jianghu people are almost at the door. Their purpose is very simple, they are here to see if the sect master can still get out of bed. If they know about the sect master, they will dare to start a war today if they are not safe! Think of a way ah!"
Xu Qingchen turned to look at Xiong San and said with a smile: "Third brother, please accept these people on my behalf first."
, please come in, I have a way. "
He was thinking about this issue just now in front of the Sect Master's throne. He had a solution, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
In Agarwood's bedroom, she became even more seriously ill. She hadn't opened her eyes for more than half a month, and she relied on decoction to hold her breath.
Xu Qingchen stood in front of the bed with his hands behind his back, still hesitating.
When Linghan brought Xiong San's two men back to Thorn Gate, he saw something was wrong: Why are there so many Jianghu people today? They all looked evil. Did they come here specially?
Back at the door, Xiong San was so busy that he had no time to talk to her.
Xiong San asked the kitchen to prepare enough tea to entertain these people. But they didn't express their gratitude, they just said that they wanted to see the leader of the Shen clan. There had been constant turmoil in the world recently, and they wanted the leader of the Shen clan to come out and seek justice.
After Linghan learned that Xu Qingchen was at Shen Xiangzhi's place, she went to Chen Xiangzhi's room without stopping.
In the room, Xu Qingchen still stood there, motionless, and the two maids had been taken away by him.
Linghan looked at his back and asked, "What are your plans?"
He didn't seem to be surprised by Linghan's return. He answered the question inappropriately: "She...this life is too miserable."
Linghan walked closer and saw the face of Chen Xiangzhi at this moment. She was so scared that she covered her mouth, and tears could not help but roll in her eyes - is this still a human being?
Although the agarwood branch is not beautiful and fragrant, it at least has a superior appearance. But now, she looked like a mummy... The black lines on her neck had spread to her cheeks. Around the pillow, there were also scraps of skin she had shed. The regenerated skin was a scary red color, wrinkled, and lifeless at all.
Xu Qingchen continued: "The only way to break the situation right now is this."
Ayana asked: "What's the way to break the situation?"
Xu Qingchen took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve: "There is also a pill here, I hid it secretly."
Linghan knew about Chen Xiangzhi taking medicine. Hearing what Xu Qingchen said, he couldn't help but widen his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face: "You hid her medicine? Why? Do you know that this is what saved her life?" "
Xu Qingchen replied: "I know... this is the last one. She should be able to come back to life after eating this, but... it is only temporary. The more she eats, the more miserable her death will be. Linghan, Do you think you should let her die peacefully...or do one last thing for me?"
Ayana didn't believe her ears: "What did you say? Do you think she died peacefully like this?"
Xu Qingchen finally turned to look at Linghan: "I can't kill her, and no one else can do it either. What else?"
Ayana gritted her teeth: "Go away, I'll do it..."
Agarwood is a decent person and should go away with dignity, instead of slowly rotting in bed like now.
Xu Qingchen stretched out his hand to stop Linghan who was coming forward with the knife, shook his head and said, "I think it would be better for her to help me one last time."
This sentence stimulated Linghan, and she pointed the blade at Xu Qingchen's eyebrows. Her body was trembling slightly, and the long-lost mood swings came back: "Why are you like this now?"
"What's it like?" Xu Qingchen said expressionlessly, "Cruel, cold, bloodthirsty?"
"Inhumane," Linghan added, "How...how could you become like this?"
Disappointment, a strong sense of disappointment filled Linghan's heart.
Xu Qingchen smiled, his smile still as gentle as before: "Dr. Xiaoya from Yaoxian Valley was tortured and killed. If she didn't die, her medicine would not be cut off. Although the end would not be good, at least she still has strength. Kill yourself. Ayahan, we have both changed."
After Xu Qingchen finished speaking, he turned around and put the medicine on the agarwood branch's mouth.
Ayana shouted loudly: "If you dare to feed her! I will kill you!"
Xu Qingchen remained unmoved. He knew that Linghan would not kill him. Even if he had done a huge mistake, Linghan would not have the heart to kill her.
After taking the medicine, Agarwood's body began to tremble violently, blood began to appear on her face, and her shriveled skin gradually
Fill. Those black lines receded.
She opened her eyes suddenly, their eyes were red as if they had been soaked in blood.
After coughing twice violently, Agarwood turned over and lay beside the bed to vomit blood. She spit out streams of black blood.
Ayana hurried over, knelt down and patted her back, and said anxiously: "Master! How are you?"
Agarwood suddenly raised her head and stared at Xu Qingchen.
The most painful thing about this drug is not the physical torture. After her body fell into a coma, her consciousness was still awake. I can hear other people talking, and I can think about things in my mind, but I can't move, I can't sleep, and I suffer from the torture of body ulcers all the time.
Therefore, she heard all the conversation between the couple just now.
