Zheng Tunan rested his head on Miss Xianhui's thigh, lazily looking at the dots of river lanterns on the river.
After a lingering and fierce battle, the two of them were still lingering, dressed in gauze clothes, leaning on the bow of the boat. Miss Xianhui was like the sister next door, wiping Zheng Tunan's body with a warm cloth and combing his hair.
bun.
Zheng Tunan enjoys this kind of lingering service more than the joy of getting up in the morning. Miss Xianhui understands his own feelings better than the slaves bought with money at home.
"Are you still angry?" Miss Xianhui gently rubbed Zheng Tunan's forehead and explained softly: "The visitors are guests, and it is impossible for me to drive away those Liang children."
Zheng Tunan frowned slightly: "It's not just them. The old man imprisoned me at home and forced me to practice."
"I just asked, why didn't you come here during this period? I was worried that you would just ignore me." Miss Xianhui sighed.
"How can I bear to neglect you?" Zheng Tunan held the other person's hand and kissed it again and again.
"Young Master is of the immortal blood. He will achieve great achievements in the future, so he should naturally concentrate on his cultivation." Miss Xianhui said.
"Humph! The old man just wants to save face!" Zheng Tunan stood up and let Miss Xianhui rest on his lap, and said angrily: "The imperial court recently established a new Jinding Division, and we were asked to serve as the first ones. As a result, they set up a bunch of
He kept me out of the school exams."
"Jindingsi?" Miss Xianhui said: "The sisters in Longzangpu have heard from dignitaries talking about it. It is said that it is a new government office that specializes in making alchemy and drawing talismans for the imperial court."
Zheng Tunan said scornfully: "It's nothing more than sheltering a bunch of warlocks who don't do anything serious! The old man punished me severely because I failed the exam. And that Zheng Siyuan actually entered the Jinding Division through side tricks!"
Seeing that he was getting more and more angry as he spoke, Miss Xianhui quickly stretched out her hand to touch his cheek: "Okay, don't be angry. Your old man is doing this for your own good, and joining the imperial government office will not only glorify your ancestors, but also gain popularity...
Is the Jindingsi exam very difficult?"
Zheng Tunan said: "It's about entraining qi to write talismans, and it's about making elixirs with bare hands. They are all inferior tricks! Especially that Zhao Mi, a poor man from the countryside who came from Huaiying Hall, he fought with him again and again.
I'm against it!"
"Huaiying Pavilion? They are very popular recently." Miss Xianhui said softly.
Zheng Tunan looked unhappy: "What? Did Jiangzhu Tower also entertain them?"
Miss Xianhui shook her head and said: "That's not true... You also know that Longzangpu is well-informed with dignitaries and dignitaries. I accidentally heard that there is a batch of spiritual materials in the country that are mined by the Huaiying Pavilion, presumably to be used in the Golden Cauldron.
Secretary."
"The Huaiying Pavilion has made great achievements in Xingluo County, so it will naturally be rewarded." Zheng Tunan said: "But this credit should belong to me! Liang Guoshi presided over the Chongxuan Pavilion, but only used the Liang family's children to suppress the Xingluo County.
The bandits sent Liang Shuo and his gang to exclude the other three surnames!"
Miss Xianhui consoled her: "Xingluo County is noisy, what's the good thing? Liang Shuo is said to be born with immortal bones, didn't he die in Xingluo County too?"
"Liang Shuo is a prude who knows how to put on airs!" Zheng Tunan reached out and grabbed a sword: "During the Five Kingdoms War, the Zheng family in Jiujiang produced many powerful generals. I just missed a chance to become famous!"
"You..." Miss Xianhui's eyes flickered, and she tapped the tip of the other person's nose with her jade finger: "I fought with the swordsman named He in Jiangzhu Tower, and ended up being kicked into Longzangpu?"
"It's not him!" Zheng Tunan's face became more and more angry: "The person who kicked me... was that Zhao Mi! I will kill this person in this life!"
"You want to kill him?" Miss Xianhui leaned in Zheng Tunan's arms, her eyes showing a strange brilliance.
"But there is no way." Zheng Tunan sighed.
There was a hint of temptation in Miss Xianhui's voice: "Isn't your concubine brother in Jindingsi? Why don't you let him invite Zhao Miao to come out, and you take the opportunity to kill him in the name of hosting a banquet to apologize."
Zheng Tunan showed excitement, but his cheeks twitched, and he immediately said: "No, no, Zhao Shu is an official of the imperial court now. You cannot touch him casually, otherwise it will definitely cause disaster. And..."
"And you can't beat him, right?" Miss Xianhui slowly approached, her lips opened and closed in Zheng Tunan's ear, and the warm fragrance blew out: "Don't worry, I invited some experts just to
To deal with Zhao Shu, as long as you lead him out of Jinding Division, sir, everything will be easy. I guarantee that in the end, you will be the one to chop off Zhao Shu’s head so that you can take revenge."
Zheng Tunan's eyes blinked rapidly, as if he was suffering from hysteria. He finally woke up, but his expression became a little sinister: "Yes, let's do it like this."
…
Jiang Ru was wearing a cloak, her head and face were hidden in the shadows, her footsteps were light and soundless, and she came to a quiet temple.
There is very little incense in the temple, and on the altar is a statue of a boy with a double bun on his head and a willow branch in his hand. The name of this god is Jumang, which is one of the main gods of Tianxia worship, guarding the east, and summoning the spring breeze.
You are commonly known as Master Wood God among the people.
Temples and temples dedicated to Lord Mu De were spread all over Dongsheng City during the Tianxia Dynasty, and they were very popular. However, as Tianxia lost its rule, the worship of Mu God gradually became less and less. In that chaotic situation, the temples were burned down.
The statue overturned, as if Lord Mu De also perished along with the Tianxia Dynasty.
Jiang Ru raised her head and glanced at the boy statue. The clay statue was mottled and had no charm at all. There was only an old woman struggling to sweep the altar under the altar.
Ignoring these, Jiang Ru came to a small house in the backyard of the shrine. She took out a snake pattern talisman from her arms, pinched it and performed the spell. There were talismans on the surface of the door like running water, and the door became unreal.
Jiang Ru raised her feet and took a step forward, her body fell directly into the door. When she stood and raised her eyes, she was not in a house, but in a hollow underground.
Stalagmites hang upside down from the dome above, and a huge lantern emits dim light, illuminating the underground cavity.
Looking around, there are either holes cut into the wall or houses with stacked bed frames. There are stone houses and caves with exquisite carvings, as well as simple and dirty low shacks. There is also a pond in the distance, which is not only connected to the body of water.
However, there are more than just people walking around here. The old tree flower spirits who have been affected by the climate, the half-fish and half-human East China Sea tribe, the erratic and fierce ghosts, and the mountain monsters with fangs and hairy tails all appeared here at the same time.
, buying and selling, bargaining, just like in the human market.
Some of those who look normal are definitely not ordinary people. If they are not monsters that have successfully transformed into monsters, they are heretical cultivators.
Since ancient times, Kunlun Continent has been a place where ghosts and evil spirits coexist. These places often form ghost markets and demon markets, where different ethnic groups exchange what they have, and the market facilitates trade, and it is not based on the laws and regulations of any dynasty or country.
This is a ghost market near Dongsheng Capital. It is located underground and does not interact with the common people and is not subject to the laws of Huaxu Kingdom.
When Jiang Ru came to this ghost market, she felt a little more nervous and alert. The humans, ghosts and evil spirits that haunt this place do not rely on the laws of the world, but on their own abilities.
Avoiding a group of ghost market guards carrying steel whips, Jiang Ru quietly turned into the grotto. Inside was a long corridor with smoke reverberating around it, light and shadow blurred, and spells that confused the mind of the seven orifices formed a formation. On both sides of the corridor were
In the cave, the sound of joy or pain came from behind the curtain.
Jiang Ru turned a blind eye to the art of seducing people and went straight through the long corridor to reach the deepest cave. There was a tall man with thick hair outside the door. His mouth and jaw protruded like a wolf-dog, and he stopped him and said:
"You're going the wrong way. We don't accept guests here."
Jiang Ru was too lazy to talk nonsense and raised her hand to reveal a bronze medal with a coiled snake on it: "How?"
The tall man grinned and growled, and opened the door curtain displeasedly. Jiang Ru stepped inside and saw a slender woman leaning softly, wearing a gauze, surrounded by four or five handsome men with strong bodies surrounding her.
Shaking the feather fan gently, holding the cup, beating the legs and massaging, all with an attitude of admiration and respect, but the eyes of the eyes were empty, obviously they were fascinated by the magic.
"Hey, you are a rare visitor." The graceful woman opened the soft gauze curtain and smiled sweetly: "How could the descendants of the majestic Xuanpu Tianhu come to this sewer?"
Jiang Ru stared at the graceful woman and suppressed her displeasure: "I went to Jiangzhu Tower to look for you, but the madam in the building said you were bedridden and could not see guests. I knew you had returned to the ghost market. When you came here
, should I call you Miss Xianhui, or Qingluoyi?"
Jiang Ru said calmly: "No need, I'm not so hungry and want to eat."
"That's right, Sister Jiang is eyeing the immortal blood Yin like the Liang family of Yongjia." Qing Luoyi sighed: "After all, they are descendants of Tianhu, and they will not eat anything other than immortal jade. These human tripods I raised are simply
It's like drinking blood from a tree. But I heard that the eldest son of Liang Shuo Liang died in Xingluo County? I wonder who Sister Jiang has fallen in love with recently? Can you tell me something?"
Jiang Ruming's eyes were narrowed, like a fox in the forest, staring at the prey and ready to move: "Don't worry about me, you are also determined to cling to the Jiujiang Zheng family."
Qing Luoyi looked aggrieved: "What Sister Jiang said, your ancestor was a true celestial fox who served as an immortal, and I am just a half-demon. I definitely don't dare to dream about becoming an immortal. I just hope to find a solid backer.
Live happily in the mortal world."
"You half-demon, you are the oiran of Jiangzhu Tower on the surface, but secretly you are the master of the ghost market." Jiang Ru frowned and said: "It's just that you not only sell sex on the ground, but also kidnap mortal women everywhere.
In the ghost market, let them have sex with all kinds of fairies and ghosts. Do you plan to cultivate a group of half-demon similar to you?"
"Food and rice in Dongsheng City are too expensive, so just doing one job is not enough." Qing Luoyi said with a smile: "And as long as these half-demon grow up, they often have talents that ordinary people don't have. If they are trained well,
It can be of great use!”
Jiang Ru pursed her lips and said nothing. Even if she was born as a demon, she was considered to be from a famous family. Even if she didn't show any trace of her face towards the half-demon, she still harbored contempt in her heart.
And even if the Jiang family bent down to serve the Yongjia Liang family, it would still be regarded as Fu Bi Xianzhen. Therefore, Jiang Ru really couldn't have the slightest favorable impression of Qing Luo Yi's abusive behavior.
"Okay, don't tell these jokes." Qing Luoyi waved her hand gently, and the muscular men around her respectfully left. She stared at Jiang Ru and said, "It's rare to see you come to the ghost market. Tell me, what do you want us to do?"
Do it for someone who cannot see the light of day? And you want to get a batch of rare birds and animals from other countries to please the nobles in the DPRK?"
"I want to know who is responsible for connecting the Donghai Palace and the Zhou family," Jiang Ruyan said.
"Zhou family?" Qing Luoyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why do you suddenly ask about this? Did Liang Guoshi ask you to come?"
"You can think of it that way."
Qing Luoyi chuckled and said: "That's right...but you should know that there are many brokers in the ghost market. People are willing to take risks and contact the foreign races for the nobles of the government and the public. They earn hard-earned money, but they don't want to be cheated by anything."
Experts are watching."
Jiang Ru said: "You are well-informed and should know the situation in the DPRK. Chongxuan Hall has always been in charge of the mutual trade with various water houses in the East China Sea. The Zhou family has intervened. If it is just for some small profits, the Imperial Master will be
Can't see.
But recently, the number of spiritual materials and treasures in the sea market has been greatly reduced. Various water houses have excused themselves as being caused by earthquakes in the sea. But this is too coincidental. The Jinding Division has just been established in the imperial court to collect spiritual materials and dispatch them.
Each water house immediately withdrew from Haishi and headed towards Chongxuan Pavilion."
"How can a small person like me know how the big shots in the court fight and kill each other?" Qing Luoyi lazily yawned.
"You also interfered?" Jiang Ru asked.
"Jin Ding Si, it really lives up to its name. It is simply a giant monster that swallows jade and sells gold." Qing Luoyi said: "Many people heard that the Huaxu Kingdom established the Jin Ding Si, and their minds immediately became active.
I’m looking forward to making a lot of money from it.”
Jiang Ru understood: "What do you want? Tell me."
"Happy!" Qing Luoyi sat up with sharp eyes: "Just trade news for news. I can tell you the person who connects the Zhou family and Shuifu, but I need to know the news about the new deacon of Jinding Division. The more detailed the better.
!”
"The new deacon?" Jiang Ru was startled: "You mean Zhao Miao?"
"Oh? It seems that Sister Jiang knows this person?" Qing Luoyi said, stroking her palms: "That's right. It is said that this Zhao Shu also went to Xingluo County to suppress bandits. I wonder if you have ever met him?"
"I've seen it before." Jiang Ru closed her eyes and sighed softly.
Qing Luoyi looked at the other party with great interest: "Tsk tsk tsk, with this helpless expression, could it be that Sister Jiang suffered a loss at his hands? Could it be... oops! Liang Shuo died in Xingluo County, could it be that?
