Although Magistrate Longhuai was a fool who was used as a swordsman, not everything was gained from him. At least Bai Qige and others knew who controlled the people who were chasing them, and it was much easier to avoid the enemy's eyes and ears.
"Helei Hall is a well-known gang. The current leader, Qiao Zhaohai, is the son-in-law of the old leader Tang Helei. His 'Crane and Thunder Palm' is even better than that of the old leader. He has hundreds of direct disciples alone.
There are so many, and the forces are distributed all over Zhongzhou." Under Yi Chenjing's half-threat, half-cold forced, Ning Xizui took over Fu Chu's identity as the coachman, and Fu Chu finally had time to explain the possible contact to the prince and his wife, who had never set foot in the world.
The Jianghu forces that have arrived.
"Since it is a big sect, why would Heleitang obey Yi Chenxuan? I have always thought that people in the world disdain to associate with royal nobles." Bai Qige was puzzled and looked at Fu Chu with doubts on her face.
"How come Sister Bai has such a strange idea?" Fu Chu was surprised, "Most of the various factions in the world rely on the government to survive. Only a few forces with sufficient strength to overpower the local government will fight with the government.
Officials, like Aunt Qiao and others, have to keep their relationships clean; and more forces, especially regular sects, must have a good relationship with the government and the court if they want to develop, otherwise they will be wiped out in the name of a rebellious party."
The story killed people, and Bai Qige laughed bitterly at herself. Those heroes in the novel who spurned the powerful and dared to challenge the power of the emperor did not exist. Reality is reality after all, ugly and dark.
Seeing that Fu Chu's words were interrupted by Bai Qige, Ye Huawan continued consciously: "Actually, it's not surprising that Helei Hall would get into this muddy water. The old hall master had a particularly good relationship with the government before he passed away.
, I remember my father told me when I was a child that the youngest daughter of the old master of Helei Hall was married to a certain minister in the court, and this minister was the most favored disciple of Prime Minister Zuo. Tsk, why am I so stupid? I should have thought of it earlier.
If Prime Minister Zuo wants to find someone on the road to do something, he will definitely go to Heleitang, he is so stupid!"
Ye Huawan banged her head in annoyance. Seeing this, Fu Chu hurriedly pressed his two pink fists and rubbed them distressedly: "I'm already stupid enough, won't I be even stupider if I hit him again? How can I get married in the future?"
"
"I don't want to get married. I will follow Sister Bai from now on. I will go wherever Sister Bai goes." Ye Huawan puffed up her chest proudly, curled her lips, and attached her arms to Bai Qige.
Children are children, and there are storms and storms. Previously, Bai Qige, who wielded a sword to kill people, was said to be like a monster. In just a few days, Ye Huawan has turned against Bai Qige and turned into a loyal supporter of Bai Qige. She can't wait to kick Yi Yi away.
Chen Jing took his place and stayed with Bai Qige day and night.
Bold, careful, clear about love and hate, brave but wise, thin but heroic, Bai Qige has extraordinary charm. Those who like her are willing to be obsessed with her and are willing to pay no matter how much the price is, while those who dislike her character are disgusted.
To the extreme, like Yi Chenxuan, he wishes that this thorn in his side and flesh would die long ago. In any case, the current Bai Qige is no longer the cowardly, scheming third lady of the Bai family who humiliated her family and betrayed her country because of the jealousy of a young girl. She
She is a heroine praised as a war concubine by tens of thousands of soldiers, a magic medicine that can soothe Yi Chenjing's restlessness as gentle as water, and a bloody Shura who kills with a sword without mercy.
Who can decide between good or evil? The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief. Bai Qige never asks for praise from the people, let alone be a kind mother. What she wants is for Yi Chenjing to be the king and the emperor. What she wants is for him to unify the country and dominate the world.
.
If he wins, she will be a virtuous imperial concubine who will be remembered forever; if he fails, she will be a disgraceful disaster that will bring disaster to the country and the people.
"We're almost at Wan Ning's Mansion." Two thumps came from the carriage, and it was Ning Xi who was drunk and beating lightly outside.
"Wanning Mansion is crowded and prosperous, and it is within the sphere of influence of Heleitang. Sister Bai and Brother Chen must be extra cautious and must not show up easily." Fu Chu warned uneasily.
Yi Chenjing nodded: "We try not to get out of the car unless there are special circumstances. We rely on you to maintain the situation outside."
"And me," a confident voice came from outside the car, "I know a lot of people in Wanning Mansion. The rouge shop on East Street has high-quality peach blossom powder, Chen Ji Jade Shop..."
Yi Chenjing didn't hear anything Ning Xizui said later. He had plugged his ears and impatiently blocked out the disturbing nonsense. If Bai Qige hadn't been in front of him, he would have really wanted to jump out of the car and kick the "green-eyed fox"
faint.
In recent years, Yaoguo has annexed many small countries. The refugees are scattered and the control is weak. However, when entering the city, the group of people, carriages and horses were not subject to interrogation, and went straight to the prearranged Huaxiang Tower. Huaxiang Tower is Ye Huawan's
The boss had a close relationship with Qiao Qingxu. With this relationship, they were not afraid of being betrayed, so Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige were not worried at all.
However, when they arrived at Huaxiang Tower, their faces were still blue.
"Hey, didn't I say that Huaxiang Tower is a brothel before?" Ye Huawan's eyes widened with an innocent expression that was unbearable to blame.
"Indeed... it's a good place to hide..." Ning Xizui endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing, "Zhuang Master Ye has a good idea, this kind of place is visited by visitors every day, and there is an endless stream of patrons, so hiding
It’s convenient, and it’s convenient to escape if something happens, but you and Miss Bai are both girls, is it really... convenient here?"
Ye Huawan curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "What's the inconvenience? People in the world are at home in the world, and they can tolerate eating, sleeping and sleeping in the open. What's the inconvenience in this good place with a bed and a blanket?"
Don't argue with women, especially ignorant women. Ning Xizui is well versed in the ways of dealing with the world. Faced with the little girl's stubbornness, he can only shrug his shoulders casually, and glance at Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige with some sympathy - this
The two of them are the prince and princess of the same country. If people knew that they were living in the land of fireworks... the person who would be the most unacceptable would be Yao Huang?
After all, Ye Huawan had good intentions, and Bai Qige couldn't be picky. She looked at Yi Chenjing and smiled bitterly, and finally had to obediently lower her head and walk into the brothel, which made everyone blush at the mention of it.
It is a long way to the imperial capital. You must stop at a safe place to rest and replenish your needs during the day. You must change horses every few days. Especially in crowded places, you must pretend to be an ordinary passerby and walk slowly to avoid being caught.
Yi Chenxuan's subordinates noticed that Fu Chu, Ye Huawan and Ning Xizui were all incompetent in kung fu. Feng Wujiang had a weird temper and would never take action unless his adopted son was in danger. This left Yi Chenjing and Kong Kong who had just recovered from serious injuries.
Bai Qige, who has experience and skills but not the corresponding physical strength, will never be able to defeat a large number of killers no matter how hard she fights. She will have to mainly avoid them in the end.
Due to the constraints of many of the above factors, even though Yi Chenjing was eager to return to the imperial capital, he still couldn't move any faster. If he wanted to gallop without any scruples, he would have to wait until he met up with Zhan Ting and rely on the protection of Qiao Qingxu and other Jianghu figures.
That's it. Facing the situation with no other choice, Yi Chenjing tried his best to stay calm. Fortunately, with Bai Qige's presence, his anxiety could be quickly calmed down many times, and he would not get on impulse and get on his horse and gallop towards the imperial capital.
However, this does not mean that he can accept staying in a brothel calmly!
"This young master seems to be dissatisfied with our painting of Xianglou. Does he think the girl is not attractive? Just tell my mother Qin what you like, I guarantee you will be satisfied!" A foot of soft red gauze floated by, a charming and sweet voice.
The middle-aged lady seemed to be filled with honey, and her voice was completely inconsistent with her high-pitched voice. She flirted and looked at Yi Chenjing with eyes full of spring. She hesitated slightly as she passed by Bai Qige and Ye Huawan.
What to say at this time? Say you are satisfied or dissatisfied? Or just don't answer and pretend to be stupid? Yi Chenjing's face was sullen and her whole body was stiff, as if she was about to be beheaded in the execution ground. It was impossible to tell that she was sitting in Huaxiang Tower.
In an elegant room. Gulu swallowed his saliva. The always upright seventh prince of Yao Kingdom was restless. He quietly reached out under the table and pulled the corner of Bai Qige's clothes next to him.
"Mother Qin, don't worry about him. This young master of ours is young and this is his first time here, so he is inevitably a little cautious. He will be acquainted with him later." Ning Xizui leaned against the table, holding her forehead with one hand and slowly swinging the folding fan with the other.
There is no trace of life in his leisurely expression, but he looks like a frequent visitor to Xianglou, a born playboy.
"Isn't Boss Hai here?" Before the madam surnamed Qin could respond to Ning Xizui, Fu Chu asked first, "We have an appointment with Boss Hai, can you convey it to me? Just say that someone from Qingming Mountain in Western Chu is here."
.”
Hearing Fu Chu's question, the madam suddenly put away her charming smile and stood up straight. She carefully went to the door and looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, she closed the door tightly and turned around and said softly: "It turns out that he is an honored guest from Xi Chu. I'm neglecting you. I'm really neglecting you."
.Boss Hai doesn’t live here on weekdays, but he has previously given instructions that if there are distinguished guests from Qingming Mountain in Western Chu, they must be well entertained and he will come immediately after being notified.”
The madam respectfully led the few people to the quiet backyard. After a brief meal and tea, he saw the owner of Huaxiang Tower walking in through the door. He was sweating profusely and obviously came immediately after receiving the news. It's better to be careful, Fu Chu and
Yi Chenjing's identity was not explained to Boss Hai of Huaxianglou, and Boss Hai did not ask further questions, but occasionally there was a hint of hesitation in his expression.
"What's wrong with Boss Hai?" Fu Chu asked with concern.
"No, no, no, it's not a embarrassment. Brother Fu, please don't misunderstand." Boss Hai waved his hands repeatedly, hesitated for a moment and took out something from his sleeve, "This...Brother Fu, I'm afraid that it will be easier for you to enter the city than to leave the city!"
Ye Huawan quickly took the thing and took a closer look. It turned out to be a government notice with large but clear characters.
"Recently, the snitches have been evil and committed wanton robbery in the city. In order to protect the safety and security of the local people, from now on, entry and exit from the city gates must be subject to interrogation. However, anyone who does not cooperate will be regarded as a snitch and his followers and will be detained. This announcement is hereby read."
After finishing, Fu Chu took a breath and said, "Wanning Mansion has always been peaceful. When did the snitch appear? This time is too coincidental."
Boss Hai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Huaxiang Tower is visited every day and comes into contact with many and varied people, but I have never heard of any burglars, let alone anyone being robbed or stolen. I guess...
Brother Fu, in my opinion, why don't you guys take shelter here first to avoid the wind? You know, Wanning Mansion will call Heleitang for help if anything happens. If there is a conflict, it will be you who will suffer."
Is it Heleitang again?
Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing looked at each other, the pressure on their shoulders becoming heavier.
