"No need. "
Several people heard the sound and looked over, only to see Jiang Fengmian dressed in red striding over.
In a blink of an eye, he came to Xiao Jue's side and nodded to Shen Qiaoran. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Jue say coldly: "Where is the person?"
So Jiang Fengmian's breath was stuck in his throat, and he subconsciously wanted to say a few words to Xiao Jue, but the next second he seemed to suddenly think of something.
He suppressed the resentment in his heart and said quickly: "I am safe now, I am not injured, it's just..."
Seeing his hesitation, Shen Qiaoran thought something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Just what? Is there any problem?"
Xiao Jue frowned slightly and glanced at Shen Qiaoran. Being stared at by him coldly, Shen Qiaoran calmed down instantly, but still looked at Jiang Fengmian closely, fearing that he would tell some bad news.
Seeing that Xiao Jue seemed to be in a bad mood, Jiang Fengmian did not dare to hesitate any longer and immediately said: "Brother Shen, don't worry, I personally took the people there, and there are still people guarding there. It's just that where Fourth Miss Shen is currently, we It’s not easy to get your hands dirty.”
Xiao Jue glanced at Jiang Fengmian thoughtfully. After noticing his gaze, Jiang Fengmian nodded.
Xiao Jue turned to look at the end of the crowd, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light seemed to flash away.
"You stay in Zui Jiangyue, and I will bring her back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jue flew away, and his dark figure instantly merged with the night.
"Eh..." Shen Qiaoran subconsciously wanted to follow, but was blocked by a folding fan that appeared midway.
"Where does Brother Shen want to go?"
Shen Qiaoran stopped and looked at the owner of the fan.
But he saw the other party, dressed in red like fire, with a pair of peach blossom eyes on his handsome face, looking at him with a smile.
After thinking about it, Shen Qiaoran finally said, "I want to go find Xiao Qiao."
Unexpectedly, the other party's expression did not change, and he asked casually: "Do you know where to look?"
Shen Qiaoran was stunned when he heard this and looked in the direction Xiao Jue left, but at this time Xiao Jue had already disappeared.
He pursed his lips and said unwillingly: "Then how did Brother Huaijin know?"
But I heard Jiang Fengmian's determined voice,
"Because...he is Xiao Huaijin."
"Don't you believe him?"
Shen Qiaoran lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I believe him."
Then he raised his head, looked at Jiang Fengmian and said seriously: "I believe him, I believe brother Huaijin can bring Xiao Qiao back safely."
Jiang Fengmian raised his eyebrows and tapped Shen Qiaoran's shoulder lightly with a folding fan, "That's right. If you can say that, it's not in vain for his care for you for so many years. To be honest, sometimes I feel a little bit... envy of you."
Xiao Jue is indeed very good to Shen Qiaoran. Over the years, Jiang Fengmian watched from the sidelines, sometimes feeling that Xiao Jue had raised this boy from the Shen family as a son, but Xiao Jue himself was only a teenager.
Moreover, even though he was Xiao Jue's brother who grew up with him since childhood, why didn't he see him being so kind to her?
Thinking of Xiao Jue's different treatment of herself and Shen Qiaoran, Jiang Fengmian felt deeply sad.
After looking at Shen Qiaoran for a long time, he finally said: "Okay, let's go in first. Since Xiao Huaijin went there in person, there won't be any mistakes. You'd better listen to him and wait obediently."
After saying that, he pointed to the door of Zui Jiangyue on one side and gestured.
Shen Qiaoran looked back at the endless crowd before turning around and entering Zuijiangyue with Zifu and Qingdai.
Jiang Fengmian was not in a hurry to go in together. Instead, he leaned against the pillar in the corridor, nodded his forehead with the folding fan, and looked at the direction Xiao Jue left, thoughtfully.
…
The floats took the main roads, so the alleys in Beijing were already deserted at this time.
Under the cover of the night, Xiao Jue shuttled alone among them, his dark figure flashing under the moonlight without leaving the slightest sound on the bluestone.
Gradually, the bustle of the crowd got closer and closer. Xiao Jue slowed down, thought for a moment, and suddenly jumped up.
On the eaves, Xiao Jue hid herself in the darkness, ignored the cheers coming from all around, and stared at the float slowly approaching in the distance.
In order to cater to the atmosphere of the Peach Blossom Festival, the entire float was decorated like a half-opened peach blossom, with pink and white gauze dancing and swaying in the wind, adding a bit of fairyland to it.
Vaguely, from the outside, only a figure could be seen inside, but nothing else could be seen.
This year's Peach Blossom Fairy comes from the most famous brothel "Nansheng Meng" in Beijing. She is an courtesan who has become famous in Beijing in recent years. She is called "Taoyao".
It is said that this Taoyao girl was charming, passionate and talented, so she naturally attracted countless nobles and literati to pursue her.
The Nan Sheng Meng where she is located is even more popular among the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion in the capital. The girls inside are fat and thin, and they come in all types. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Especially the Twelve Chai, headed by Tao Yao, are the most outstanding girls in Nan Sheng's dream. Everyone among them can be the best in other buildings.
As for Tao Yao, a pure herdsman, being able to stand out in such a place and become the number one among the top names is naturally not something that ordinary people can see.
She doesn't care about external objects, such as precious jewelry, silks and satins, none of which can catch her eye. She will post a topic every day, it could be a poem, a painting, or a paragraph of text.
If you want to see her, you have to give the answer she wants. If no one satisfies her that day, then you can only wait until tomorrow.
This kind of behavior is indeed very willful for a brothel woman.
But in the eyes of many people, the more unobtainable it is, the more precious it becomes. Therefore, there is always an endless stream of people who go to Nanshengmeng to see them every day.
In particular, she once said in front of everyone that anyone who could convince her in terms of talent could become her guest.
Such a woman who ignored yellow and white things and had outstanding talents naturally attracted people's admiration. For a time, many talented people with real talents came to visit her. They had nothing to do with romance and only talked about poetry.
Ever since Nan Shengmeng announced that Taoyao would become this year's Peach Blossom Fairy and would board a float and parade through the streets for three days on the night of the Shangsi Festival. People spread the news by word of mouth, from nobles to ordinary people, and even many young talents from other places rushed to the capital, hoping to catch a glimpse of her beauty.
Because of this, this "grand scene" appeared at this time.
Just now, Jiang Fengmian said that Shen Qiaochen's location was not convenient for him to save people. What makes him feel troublesome must be something unusual.
Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the float tightly surrounded by the crowd, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Where could it be safer than here tonight?
