197

The crisp sound of silver bells rang in her ears. The woman dancing lightly in the air raised her hand to untie her lapel. The gauze on her body slowly fell down. She seemed to be wearing exotic clothes, thin and gorgeous, with her graceful waist exposed in the air.

Yingying grasped it.

Lin Sishen turned his head and saw several people beside him fighting for the gauze that the woman had taken off.

Li Qi walked up to her at some point. He gave Lin Sishen a thoughtful look, leaned into her ear and whispered with a smile: "Brother Lin, you must be dumbfounded."

Lin Sishen smiled and said nothing.

Li Qi raised his eyes and glanced at the enthusiastic guests who seemed to have lost their minds: "This girl is from a foreign race. Mr. Lin must have heard of it. Foreign women are fragrant and beautiful, especially good at music and dancing. We spent a lot of money."

I just bought such a best of the best.”

The foreigners are a reclusive ethnic group in Jin State. Because they do not intermarry with foreigners, their numbers are extremely rare. They rarely appear in people's eyes. According to historical records, the foreigners have existed in the Jin State thousands of years ago. Throughout the ages, all the people who have served as sacrifices and praying to gods have

Wizards are all aliens.

In folklore, aliens even have the ability to communicate with gods.

Perhaps because of their bloodline, both men and women of the foreign race are extremely beautiful in appearance, and because this ethnic group is too mysterious. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, women of the foreign race are as holy as fairies in the sky.

But Lin Sishen didn't think so. It was simply because the aliens secluded themselves from the world and rarely appeared in the eyes of the world. Coupled with the countless fabricated stories, there was an extra layer of veil that people wanted to lift.

They're just a bunch of ordinary people.

Li Qi saw that Lin Sishen didn't seem to be very interested. He smiled softly and stepped forward to stand in front of everyone. He put his hands behind his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, the one who pays the highest price for this foreign woman today will get it."

"The one with the highest price will get it?" When Lin Sishen was in a daze, a person suddenly squeezed in beside her. Qin Hao tugged on her sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Brother Lin, lend me some money."

Lin Sishen turned her head and glanced at him, shook her head and advised, "Don't join in the fun."

Qin Hao chuckled, raised his eyes to look at the woman in mid-air, swallowed his saliva and said: "Have you never heard of the saying that a ghost can be romantic under peonies? Such a stunning beauty, even if I lose everything, I still want to kiss her.

.”

Lin Sishen glanced at him and said decisively: "Don't try to influence me, I have no money."

Qin Hao was a little surprised when he saw her lack of interest in her clothes and said, "Brother Lin, why did you suddenly change your temper? You were never like this in the past."

Lin Sishen said perfunctorily: "I'm about to get married, so I should be more cautious."

While the two were talking, the guests present had already begun to bid. The starting price was one thousand taels of silver, and some people kept bidding.

Qin Hao's face changed, and his expression suddenly became depressed. He muttered unwillingly and helplessly: "These people's money seems to be blown by the strong wind."

Lin Sishen laughed softly at the side. Although Qin Hao was the youngest son of Duke Qing and was much loved at home, Duke Qing only gave him two hundred taels of monthly money, and he squandered it all on weekdays.

It is inevitable to ask Lin Sishen to borrow money.

Let alone one thousand taels at this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to come up with even five hundred taels.

As the bidding got higher and higher, it was obvious that many people had lost their money.

Seeing someone shouting out a high price of ten thousand taels, everyone was stunned and unwilling to speak. Li Qi looked around: "Master Liu bids ten thousand taels, but is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

After saying that, no one said anything, Li Qi raised his head and waved to the woman. The woman released the red silk she was holding in the water and slowly came down. Her white jade feet touched the ground and twirled gently, accompanied by a crisp sound.

The bell rang and fell lightly to the ground.

Green hair poured down, the woman's downturned eyebrows were raised slightly, and her narrow peach blossom eyes scanned the crowd. She stood barefoot next to Li Qi, raised her slender fingertips as white as green, and lightly lifted her face.

The yarn then fell down.

Everyone not only gasped when they saw the woman's appearance.

I saw that the woman's facial features seemed to be carefully carved, so delicate that no flaws could be found.

Her skin is like fine mutton-fat jade, exuding a warm luster. Her long and dense eyelashes are trembling slightly, and her eyes are clear and clear, mixed with a hint of seductive charm. The bridge of her nose is straight.

Slightly raised, the red lips have a perfect arc and are as delicate as if they are about to drip.

Her appearance looks a little pure, but also perfectly blended with a hint of charm, making people unable to help but have the idea of ​​possessing her just by taking one look at her.

Among the crowd, Lin Sishen also stared blankly at the woman, not because she was amazed by the woman's appearance, but because she recognized the woman.

No wonder that before the woman took off her veil, she felt that the woman's eyes were familiar. It turned out that this was not an illusion. She had indeed seen the woman in front of her and had interacted with her before.

Meng Yange.

How could she appear here and become a commodity that the prince's men could buy and sell at will?

But today's Meng Yange seemed a little different from the Meng Yange she knew before. The wanton and flamboyant woman in her memory was now like a cute and beautiful puppet, standing next to Li Qi with her eyebrows slightly lowered.

This made Lin Sishen wonder whether he had recognized the wrong person, or perhaps this woman just looked too similar to Meng Yange and was not actually the same person.

Just when Lin Sishen was doubting, the woman seemed to notice a strange look in the eyes filled with intrusion and scrutiny. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Lin Sishen.

The moment she saw Lin Sishen, her eyes seemed to change subtly, and her brows furrowed slightly. However, this strange look only happened for a moment, and she quickly looked away and returned to her previous appearance.

Someone swallowed, raised his hands with red eyes and shouted: "I will give you another thousand taels."

Seeing the woman's appearance, everyone went crazy for a while. The originally quoted price of 10,000 taels was raised again. Finally, it was the wealthy Mr. Liu who offered 20,000 taels.

This time everyone was frustrated again. After looking at Mr. Liu with dissatisfaction, they had to give up.

Li Qi smiled with satisfaction and waved to the crowd. A short and thin young man arrogantly pushed away the people in front of him and walked to Li Qi. He stared at the woman with squinted eyes and grinned.

His mouth was smiling with yellow teeth exposed, and his salivating look made people feel sick just by looking at it.

Li Qiyi flicked his sleeves, patted Mr. Liu on the shoulder, then smiled and whispered: "Mr. Liu, she is yours tonight, enjoy it."

Mr. Liu rubbed his hands. He watched the woman swallow her saliva, then stretched out his hand to grab her wrist and said impatiently: "Don't worry, beauty, I will take good care of you today."

Qin Hao had a look of jealousy on his face. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet unwillingly: "If I hadn't had no money, how could I have gotten away with this ugly creature? It would be a pity that such a beautiful woman would follow this disgusting thing."

Lin Sishen stood aside and said nothing. She kept staring at the woman's face until she saw her wrist being held by Mr. Liu, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She suddenly lowered her eyes and sighed, then stepped forward and said loudly: "

I’ll pay you a thousand taels.”

Everyone looked at Lin Sishen who suddenly appeared. They were stunned at first, and then laughed mercilessly.

Someone couldn't help but taunted loudly: "I'm talking about this young master. Mr. Liu paid 20,000 taels. You are just dreaming when you offered 1,000 taels."

Many people didn't react for a moment and were all laughing at Lin Sishen, but Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lin Sishen and said: "Young master Lin said, is it a thousand taels of gold?"

Lin Sishen crossed her arms and smiled lightly. After looking around, she walked up to Li Qi and said, "Yes, one thousand taels of gold."

"Are you crazy? One thousand taels of gold."

This time, it was everyone's turn to be stunned. There was really someone willing to spend a lot of money for a beauty.

Li Qi smiled clearly and looked at Mr. Liu beside him: "Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

"This..." Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment. He held the woman's hand but did not want to let go. He puffed out his chest and said, "I have already said that I am the winning bidder today. He is only 10,000 taels of gold. That is also

It’s too late.”

Li Qi just smiled slightly and lowered his voice to remind: "Mr. Liu, the one with the highest price will get it. If you can't part with this beauty, you can always pay a higher price."

Mr. Liu's face turned pale and dark, and he said angrily: "Aren't you bullying others? You have already said that the beauty belongs to me, and yet you dare to let others ask for the price."

After making a fuss, seeing Li Qi calling out some burly men, Mr. Liu let go angrily. No matter how powerful he was, he would not dare to really cause trouble here.

After everyone made a fuss, Li Qi sent someone to send Lin Sishen and the woman into the turret.

After entering the house, the person leading the way retreated.

As soon as the door was closed, all the noise outside was cut off, and only the two of them were left in the house.

Before Lin Sishen could speak, the woman turned around and looked at her with a smile: "You dare to give this young man who spends a lot of money for this little girl, his surname?"

Lin Sishen stood behind the door and rolled his eyes at her, then said with a smile: "Don't you know?"

A cunning light flashed in the woman's eyes. She pretended to be surprised and covered her lips and said: "What the young master said is really weird. This little girl has never seen the young master. How can she know who the young master is."

Lin Sishen walked around her and Shi Shiran sat at the table. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea: "Meng Yange, keep pretending."

Meng Yange did not deny it, just smiled softly, then walked slowly behind Lin Sishen, and gently touched her shoulder with his white fingertips: "Young Master Lin is really rich, he can afford a thousand taels of gold."

Lin Sishen brushed her hand away unceremoniously, then turned around and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing here? What is your identity? Are you from the prince?"

Meng Yange raised her eyebrows, turned around and sat next to her, and then looked at her with a smile on her chin: "You have so many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?"

"Everyone." Lin Sishen picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip when Meng Yange suddenly stretched out her hand to cover the teacup. In Lin Sishen's surprised gaze, her narrow peach blossom eyes blinked lightly, and then her fingertips gently touched Lin Sishen's eyes.

A stroke on the back of the hand.

Lin Sishen's hand trembled and he quickly pulled away. The dropped tea cup was about to fall on the table.

Meng Yange quickly stretched out her hand and held the tea cup firmly in her hand without spilling any water. She smiled jokingly, then took a small sip from the tea cup with her red lips, and stuffed it back into Lin Sishen's hand.

Lin Sishen, who had been teased a lot, put down the tea cup in his hand helplessly, and then said seriously: "Stop making trouble, let me ask you, are you the prince's person?"

Meng Yange smiled jokingly: "Whoever said I was here must be the prince's person."

Lin Sishen looked at her suspiciously. Meng Yange's origin was really mysterious. She had sent people to check Meng Yange's identity, but her origins were not found. Apart from Meng Yange's name, Lin Sishen was almost familiar with her.

Nothing.

When she bumped into Meng Yange here today, she became even more curious: "You are not from the prince, so what are you doing here?"

Meng Yange casually picked up a strand of hair and played with it: "It's fun."

Her answer was obviously too perfunctory. Lin Sishen didn't believe it. After staring at Meng Yange for a while, she asked again: "Then are you really a foreigner?"

Meng Yange put down her hair, and her joking expression seemed more serious: "This is true."

After hearing her answer, a dark light flashed in Lin Sishen's eyes. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Don't you aliens all live in seclusion in the mountains all year round? Why did you come out?"

Meng Yange frowned slightly, and she hummed softly: "You have so many problems." After saying that, she suddenly put her hand on Lin Sishen's shoulder, then came to her and exhaled softly, and said softly: "You are not here today.

Is this for fun?"

Although Meng Yange seemed to be very familiar with Lin Sishen on the surface, she was actually very wary of Lin Sishen, and Lin Sishen didn't ask anything from her.

She pushed Meng Yange's hand away and said softly: "I just came to visit with my friends."

Meng Yange was pushed away by Lin Sishen twice and three times. She was not ashamed, but stared at her with interest: "Then why did you spend a thousand taels of gold to buy me? Are you coveting my beauty?

Are you jealous?"

"Jealous? Why am I jealous?" Lin Sishen was a little confused: "I'm just unhappy to see you being led by that Mr. Liu."

Meng Yange raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes with a half-smile, "So you spent a thousand gold for me?"

Lin Sishen raised his lips and smiled, full of confidence: "You don't have to worry about me. Someone will automatically return the thousand gold spent to me."

Meng Yange caught the deep meaning of her words, and her eyes turned cold: "So you are the prince's man."

Lin Sishen did not deny that she was indeed the prince's wife, and it was not a secret. But what she cared about more was Meng Yange's sudden change of attitude.

She half guessed and half asked for confirmation: "Could it be that the person who chased you that day was someone sent by the prince? Do you have a grudge against him?"

"You don't need to know." Meng Yange frowned. She stared at Lin Sishen coldly, her eyes becoming more complicated: "Perhaps you should leave here as soon as possible."

Lin Sishen's expression turned serious. She seemed to have noticed something and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"It means..." Meng Yange's eyes fell on the flashing shadow outside the door. She slowly approached Lin Sishen. Just when Lin Sishen was about to escape, she quickly reached out and pressed the back of Lin Sishen's head.

Then he whispered into her ear: "You still have time to leave now."

Her words made Lin Sishen freeze up. Although she was prepared for Meng Yange, she was still caught off guard. A slight pain like a pinprick suddenly came from the back of her neck, as if she had been stung by a bee. It lasted just a moment.

She felt like the world was spinning before her eyes.

She pushed Meng Yange away suddenly, covered the back of her neck with her hands and stared at her in shock: "You...you did it..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt her body go limp and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Meng Yange quickly stood up and supported her. Lin Sishen fell softly into her arms. A wave of tiredness came over her and left her with no strength at all. Soon she fell into a drowsy sleep.

Meng Yange lowered his eyes and looked at her with a very complicated expression. After a while, he softly said: "If you hadn't saved me..."

She stopped mid-sentence. She lifted Lin Sishen up and placed her on the bed. Then she reached out and touched something on the bedside. The bed suddenly turned over and Lin Sishen disappeared on the bed in an instant, without a trace.

After doing all this, Meng Yange changed clothes in the room and sat at the table as if nothing had happened.

After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door. Meng Yange opened the door, and a woman dressed as a maid came in carrying a jug of wine.

After closing the door, the maid suddenly stared at Meng Yange and asked dissatisfiedly: "What happened to that person?"

Meng Yange smiled lightly: "It's nothing, just send her out."

The maidservant was very dissatisfied with her answer and asked sharply: "Who is she? Will she ruin our plan?"

Meng Yange glanced at her and said calmly: "Don't worry, she won't ruin our plan."

The maid turned around and warned in a cold voice: "If something happens to this fish that slipped through the net, the elder will not let you go. You should take care of yourself."

+++++++

When Lin Sishen woke up, her eyes were still dim. She seemed to be locked in a small space. A strong smell of wood paint floated into her nose, making her dizzy.

She stretched out her hand and touched around, and then confirmed that she was indeed locked in something like a wooden box. Fortunately, the wooden box did not seem to be locked. She raised her foot and kicked hard, and the wooden board covering it

It shook, and some soil fell down.

It was quite heavy. Lin Sishen struggled to raise his head, pressed his hands on the wooden board and pushed hard.

There was just a sound, a piece of black wood was blown away, and a bright light finally appeared in front of my eyes.

Lin Sishen couldn't wait to crawl out. After crawling out, she realized that she had just been lying in a coffin in a pit, and there were mass graves around her.

There was a strong rotten smell in the air. Not far away, there was a body wrapped in a straw mat, with thick water seeping out. Several crows stood on the straw mat, staring at it with dark eyes.

Hold her.

The sky was dark, and rotting corpses were scattered all around. The scene in front of him, coupled with the hoarse and shrill cries of crows, made people even more frightened.

Just a moment ago, he was in the wine pond and meat forest under the Manxiang Building, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the mass grave. Lin Sishen's still dizzy head felt even more painful at this time.

She was a little confused as to why Meng Yange stunned her and then threw her in a mass grave. However, Meng Yange's few words of reminder before she passed out gave her an ominous premonition.

After gathering his clothes, Lin Sishen quickly walked out of this cold and scary mass grave.

This mass grave was located in a mountainous suburb not far outside the capital. Seeing no one around, Lin Sishen appeared outside the capital not long after using Qing Kung.

In the past, the capital city was still open for business at this time, but today, when she walked to the gate of the city, she saw twice as many soldiers guarding the city, questioning people entering and leaving the city.

The ominous premonition in his heart seemed to be confirmed, and Lin Sishen could almost conclude that something must have happened at Manxiang Tower.

Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the city recognized Lin Sishen and let her into the city without questioning.

Sure enough, there were many soldiers in armor walking back and forth in the bustling streets of the capital in the past. They stood guard on both sides with solemn expressions. The common people stood in groups under the eaves and talked about something unknown. It was just that they could be seen.

He seemed a little panicked.

Lin Sishen raised his head and looked in the direction of Manxiang Building, and saw a burst of thick black smoke floating in the air from Manxiang Building, as if it was on fire.

She didn't stop and walked quickly to Manxiang Tower. Before she got too close, she saw General Lin standing in front of the door of Manxiang Tower. There were many officials beside him, even the Ninth Prince.

In the open space in front of the door, there were corpses covered with white cloth, almost too many to count.

There was the smell of burnt flesh and a strong smell of blood in the air. The soldiers on both sides originally blocked the approach of ordinary people. When they saw Lin Sishen approaching, they were stunned, and then hurriedly turned to look at Lin Sishen.

General, shouted loudly: "General, the young master is here."

Hearing this, almost all the people present turned their attention to the embarrassed Lin Sishen.

General Lin walked over with a sullen face. When he looked at Lin Sishen, his eyes were filled with surprise at first, and then he was instantly filled with anger.

Lin Sishen lowered his head and called softly: "Dad."

The Ninth Prince walked over with his hands behind his back. He frowned and glanced at Lin Sishen. He couldn't help but sigh and shook his head. Then he looked at General Lin and said, "As long as everything is fine, let her go back first.

General Lin was unmoved. He stared at Lin Sishen and asked in a deep voice, "Where have you been today?"

Lin Sishen knew that General Lin already knew that she was in Manxiang Tower today. She took a deep breath and was about to speak, but the Ninth Prince on the side patted General Lin on the shoulder and said, "I'll ask again when I get back. I think she seems to be quite cool."

Tired."

Anyway, in full view of everyone, General Lin suppressed his anger and scolded: "Go back, I will settle the score with you when I get back."

Lin Sishen lowered his head: "Dad, I'll go back first."

Every two steps she took, the Ninth Prince suddenly stared at her back and said, "Wu'er already knows."

Lin Sishen paused. He didn't understand what the Ninth Prince meant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood.

Lin Sishen, who was filled with complicated feelings, walked not far before looking back at Manxiang Tower, which had been burned to a disgraceful state, and then at the corpses on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It turns out that Meng Yange's purpose there was to destroy the Wine Pond and Meat Forest. Not only that, this turmoil also killed many prominent young men from aristocratic families.

If Meng Yange hadn't let her go in the end, she might have been hanging on by a narrow thread at this moment.
