Bai Yujing, Xiangsi Pavilion.
Bai Wugeng and Qi Dan were listening to music in the most splendid wing of Xiangsi Pavilion. How luxurious is this elegant room? A total of forty-eight fish oil candles were lit, illuminating the room as if it were daytime. Since then.
After his father beat him up the last time he met, he reduced his meetings with Jiang Wenbing. These days, he either lives in his own palace or hangs out in Xiangsi Pavilion. In short, he looks like a playboy who doesn't care about worldly affairs.
appearance.
Of course, with his character, it is absolutely impossible to be a happy prince. After Manager Chi brought back the news about He Nan, he began to operate his intelligence network again, and Chi Zebao also introduced him to a new one.
Helper—Xiong Qi, one of the four general managers of the Tianbian Guards.
Xiong Qi is a simple-minded person with a gambling addiction. He is an easy chess piece to use. However, considering that this person often does things without thinking, Qi Dan did not arrange any confidential work for him. He only asked him to provide sky guards and
It's just Fu Zizhan's movements - it's just that it really takes a lot of money to silence Xiong Qi. The black bear got more from him than the salary of the Tianbian Guard.
All in all, the lineup of chess pieces in his hand is luxurious enough, but it is far from enough to meet his requirements... For example, he also needs some dead warriors with high martial arts skills.
But as far as he was concerned, the most important thing at the moment was what He Nan proposed - killing the emperor brother. He had to overcome a hurdle in the past, both physically and psychologically.
Just as Qi Dan was thinking about what kind of preparations he still needed to make, an extremely noisy sound came from downstairs, piercing shouts mixed with collisions, and the sweet voice of the singer in front of him also stopped abruptly.
The woman composing songs for him in front of him was called Yueyue'er by everyone. She was a beautiful woman at the age of sixteen. She was a newcomer who had just entered Xiangsi Pavilion a few days ago. Because her family was poor and could not afford to raise many children, she was also in the prime of life.
When her brother was getting married, she had to buy a betrothal gift, so she had to sell her as a younger sister to the Xiangsi Pavilion. The second master Gui Qi Shan said that this girl was very smart and had extraordinary talent. She had already learned how to play the pipa in less than half a month.
Her playing skills and singing voice are both innately good. In time, she might become the top courtesan of Xiangsi Pavilion. Qi Dan was also very interested in this and asked her to meet the future prostitute of Xiangsi Pavilion.
What is the secret of "top card"?
"Ignore it and continue." Qi Dan smiled gently. He thought Yue Ya'er paused because of the interference of the sound. But when Yue Ya'er started singing again, she seemed a little absent-minded and her expression was a little weird. She was proficient in music.
Qi Dan had to interrupt her: "What's wrong with you? Is it because of the noise downstairs?"
Yue Ya'er seemed a little hesitant: "No, it's not..."
With Qi Dan's intelligence, how could he not see through the clumsy lie of this singer? He smiled and said nonchalantly: "Then we might as well go down and see what's going on?"
Yue Ya'er nodded meekly and followed Qi Dan downstairs.
In the lobby on the first floor of Xiangsi Pavilion, several male servants were surrounding a thin and thin young man. The young man's head and face were covered with blood, and he looked ferocious. In his right hand, he held a sharp bone-picking knife that was more than a foot long.
, holding a girl's neck with his left hand, and the tip of the knife was pressed against her neck, confronting everyone.
"What's going on?" Qi Dan frowned at the second master Gui when he passed by him. Xiangsi Pavilion, as the first brothel in the capital, has always followed strict rules. If you dare to do something here, you really don't want your life.
"Back... Mr. Bai, it's like this." The second master Gui bent his back and bowed to Qi Dan: "This little bastard said that his friend is a singer here, and he wants to take that girl away, but you don't want to
I know that our Xiangsi Pavilion is different from other brothels that are not on the market. We never engage in forced buying and selling. All the girls here are voluntary... and we also spent a lot of money to buy them and raise them.
How can you just take her away? Not to mention that this kid took action at the slightest disagreement and even kidnapped our singer... Although this kid didn't have any Kung Fu foundation, he still injured him with his fierceness.
Among our servants, I saw that he had taken hostages, so I didn't take action rashly."
The young man holding the knife kept looking around, but when he glanced at the single side of Qi, his pupils suddenly shone brightly. He dropped the singer he was holding and rushed towards him, shouting: "Yueya'er, I
I’m here to save you!”
Whether he was Qi Dan's subordinate, the head of the Tianbian Guard or the steward of Xiangsi Pavilion, the Second Master Gui could not let this man with a body of ten thousand gold fail even a little bit. Seeing that the boy with the knife left the hostage, he flew up
One kick went straight to the young man's head, trying to kill him with one blow. The young man was also agile. He dodged sideways and avoided the fatal flying kick, but was pulled by the servant behind him.
He held his legs, and finally the knife was taken away from him, and his body was pinned down the stairs by several people.
"How dare you attack Mr. Bai?" Several servants also knew that Mr. Bai Wugeng was one of the most unoffended guests in their brothel. In order to show off in front of him, they punched and kicked the young man.
"Do you know him?" Qi Dan glanced at Yue Ya'er, who was looking at the boy who was kicked and rolling on the ground with a worried face. She pulled Qi Dan's clothes: "Mr. Bai... please let me go."
Let them stop."
Qi Dan didn't want to care about this matter. He felt that the young man really deserved it, but he accidentally saw the young man's eyes through the crowd - that look was very familiar to him, it was the kind of humble and unyielding look.
, as if there were tigers and leopards dormant among them.
"Okay." Qi Dan waved his hand to signal the servants to disperse. He walked down the steps alone until he stood in front of the young man and asked condescendingly: "What is your relationship with her? Why do you come here to make trouble? Yes.
Who sent you?"
The young man originally held his head high and looked fearless, until his eyes came into contact with Qi Dan's eyes - like a bottomless abyss, cold and deep, no matter what kind of jackals, tigers and leopards could only get here.
It was swallowed up, and the dragons were buried in it. Instinct fear swept through the young man's mind, and he had to succumb to Qi Dan's authority: "No one sent me here, I came here myself, Yue Ya'er, she and I
...My childhood sweetheart, she is like my sister, but she was abducted here by you bastards, you bad guys..."
"Oh? Turn here? Is that so?" Qi Dan turned around and looked at Mr. Gui. This was different from what he told him.
"Mr. Bai, this guy is talking nonsense without knowing what is right and wrong. Our accountant here and Mother Xu can prove that her family sold her voluntarily." Second Master Gui said respectfully.
At this time, a woman in her forties walked out of the crowd waving a round fan with a sharp voice. It was Madam Xu's mother: "Yes, Mr. Bai, I can testify that I personally brought this little girl back from her home."
Yes, I still have the evidence! If you still don’t believe it, I can bring her parents to confront this kid and see who is right and who is wrong?”
Qi Dan looked at Yue Ya'er's face again. She looked very sad. She lowered her head slightly and nodded lightly, as if she was also confirming the answers given by Mr. Gui and Mother Xu.
"What else do you have to say?" Qi Dan snorted coldly. He could see the admiration and pity of the boy in front of him for Yue Ya'er. He wanted to rob people without hesitation with blood pouring into his head, but after all, he
She is an outsider. Her biological parents sold her here. Why is he causing trouble? "If you want to save her, just pay for her ransom. Do you think you can achieve your goal by holding a knife and fighting bravely?"
To tell you the truth, even if you take her away today, she will have to come back obediently tomorrow, but it will harm her family. "
"I, I don't have money..." The young man looked a little embarrassed. He really didn't know that it was Yue Yaer's family who sent her here. He thought someone from the brothel forcibly abducted her. "I didn't know it was her either.
family……"
"Ha..." Qi Dan sneered. He has never been a person who likes preaching, but he hates being self-righteous even more: "She is living a much better life here than before. She can make money with her own skills or beauty, and
And you?"
"How could you rich and powerful bastards who eat people without spitting out their bones be nice to her? You obviously just want to..." The young man hesitated to speak.
"You're just a waste who doesn't understand anything and can't do anything." Qi Dan said this very rudely. After all, as a prince, it is too cheap to despise a commoner from above. But Qi Dan is like him.
At such a young age, he and Jiang Wenbing were able to defeat a group of ten Xiegao scouts with two cavalry.
Some people may think that Qi Dan, who is worth a thousand dollars, has been eating treasures from heaven and earth since he was a child, and practicing peerless magical skills, but in fact at that time, he had never learned any other martial arts except the martial arts taught in the Sirius Army.
.
After stimulating the young man fiercely, Qi Dan strode back to his private room.
He is waiting.
It didn't take long for him to get what he wanted. Yue Ya'er knocked on the door timidly, bowed and saluted, then knelt down with a "pop", her eyes filled with tears and crying: "Mr. Bai, I know you are a good person, please help me."
Save Little Wolf... He is about to be beaten to death by them..." "Save him? How can I save him?" Qi Dan shook his head, even when facing this little girl with pear blossoms and rain, he did not let go: "
He brought this on himself, he shouldn't be here."
"Mr. Bai, you are very powerful. Once you speak, they will stop beating Little Wolf..." Yue Ya'er kowtowed on the ground.
"I can save him today, but I can't come every day. If he comes to cause trouble again when I'm not here, who else can save him?"
Yue Ya'er was a little stunned. She knew very well that as long as she was here for a day, the little wolf would never stop making trouble, but he wouldn't listen to anything she said. He just stubbornly wanted to take her away from here——
Or maybe it could be said that from the beginning to the end, deep down in her heart, she was looking forward to leaving.
"You should get up first." Qi Dan knocked on the desk in front of him, "Tell me your story."
Yue Ya'er didn't know what Mr. Bai meant, but she could only follow what he meant and started talking in detail.
Yue Ya'er and Xiao Lang'er are both from Fufeng County, one of the three counties in the capital, and Xiao Lang'er will be a few months older than her. Yue Ya'er's family has been farming for generations, and Xiao Lang'er's father is a tailor. The two have been neighbors since childhood.
, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts, and in the process of being playmates with each other, Little Wolf'er also developed a secret affection for Yue Ya'er, and Yue Ya'er also gradually developed a liking for this brother who has been with her since childhood. Unfortunately, Yue Ya'er has someone in her family.
Two brothers and an eight-year-old sister. The eldest brother wanted to marry and buy property, but the family could not afford that much money. After thinking about it, Yue Yaer's parents had to reluctantly make such a decision——
Yue Ya'er was born beautiful, and someone had come to propose marriage for a long time. However, the person proposing marriage couldn't afford the money, so they could only find Xiangsi Pavilion, which was quite decent. Fortunately, her parents had not completely lost their conscience, and they only signed the contract.
The contract was for prostitution rather than prostitution, so as to preserve the innocence of his daughter and redeem her when he has money. But Xiaolang'er didn't think so. In his understanding, it was these people from the brothel who forced Yue Yaer to
He was kidnapped, so he came here to make trouble again and again, and each time the trouble became bigger and bigger. Today is the third time. The first two times he didn't see Yue Ya'er at all, so he just made trouble for a while and then ran away in a hurry.
Shan Yingyang allowed Yue Yaer to go downstairs to take a look, only to end up with a bruised nose, a swollen face, a bruised head, and bleeding.
After telling his story, Yue Ya'er became anxious when he saw Qi Dandan's expressionless face: "Mr. Bai, I heard from the sisters here that you are a very kind man. I also know that you will definitely be able to help Little Wolf'er, right?
Maybe you can let him be your groom and take him with you when you come here, and he will stop making trouble as long as he sees me."
"Yes, that's right, I can help him, and I can even make him get everything he wants." Qi Dan nodded slightly, of course he could help: "But why should I help him? You don't have to either.
Give me some kind hat... What I need is value."
"I...I can compose songs for you and dance for you..." Yue Ya'er said softer and softer. She also realized that Mr. Bai can buy these things with money, and what Mr. Bai in front of him lacks most is
It's not money. At the end, she closed her eyes and seemed to have made some important decision. She lowered her head and said, "What I'm signing here is a contract for performing arts, but... I, I can give my body to you, I'm still a virgin."
As long as you are willing to save me and Xiaolang, you can do anything."
After saying that, she began to tear the gauze skirt she was wearing, but was stopped by Qi Dan the next moment: "Hey...both your singing voice and your body are dispensable to me, and you don't have to either."
It’s not good to use your body as a bargaining chip.”
Qi Dan was more or less moved with compassion. For him, helping these poor couple was just a small effort, but for them, it was nothing less than a life-saving grace.
Yue Yaer's eyes were red and swollen, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. She really couldn't think of what value she had to Mr. Bai. Her body... was the only bargaining chip she could give, but
Even this was rejected by the other party.
"Can you cook?" Qi Dan asked confusedly.
"Yes, my parents and brothers all go to work in the fields, and I always prepare the meals at home." Yueyue'er nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Okay, then you come with me and I will redeem your life. Of course, your friend also wants to do things for me, so you have to convince him." Qi Dan let go of Yue Ya'er's wrist: "Let's go and take a look.
How is he? I don't need a cripple."
Qi Dan suddenly took a liking to Little Wolf'er because he was not afraid of death, and Yue Ya'er, a well-behaved little girl, was the rope that tied him up.
