Although Foshan can be considered a prosperous place, it is nothing compared with Yangcheng. After experiencing the prosperity of Yangcheng, Mu Yi had to admit that even Cangzhou is not as good as Yangcheng. Because it is far away from the capital, it will undoubtedly be more prosperous.
It is more open, and there are many foreigners here, so the customs will naturally change even more.
As for whether all this is good or bad, it is not Mu Yi's decision. Moreover, there is also a bird hall in Yangcheng. Although it is only a new building, its strength is better than that in Foshan. This has a lot to do with the local Shengwu.
"Brother, can we play here for a few more days?" After Nian Nuer saw the prosperity of this place, she hugged Mu Yi's arm tightly and acted coquettishly, but her eyes were always focused on the outside of the carriage.
"Then it depends on how you perform." Mu Yi said with a slight smile.
"Brother." Nian Nuer continued to act coquettishly.
On the other side of the carriage, a flash of envy flashed across Yan Wu's eyes. Along the way, she had seen with her own eyes Mu Yi's doting on this little girl. She couldn't help but feel a little envious, but more of it reminded her of her own childhood.
"Sir, should we stay at the inn or go to the Bird Hall here?" Wu Xiaosi's voice came from outside the carriage. Compared with Mu Yi, Chong Ayi seemed to like his cleverness more, which was one of the things Mu Yi always brought with him.
One reason is that Chong A and B expressed their intention to accept Wu Xiaosi as his disciple, but this matter ultimately requires Mu Yi's consent.
Mu Yi didn't care about Chong A and B's recruitment of disciples. He just told Chong A and B to investigate Wu Xiaosi more. If Chong A and B really decided, he would not object. After all, Wu Xiaosi was still a member of Zhuque Hall.
, belongs to one’s own people.
As for Mu Yi himself, he has no intention of accepting a disciple. It was a special situation when he accepted Tieniu. Even so, he only accepted him as a registered disciple. As for a direct disciple, it is still too early for him, even if he really wants to find one in the future.
When a disciple inherits the mantle, he has reached the third difficulty, becoming a heavenly being, and settling all matters before accepting a disciple.
At that time, he can live in seclusion in Funiu Mountain and teach his disciples at the same time.
"Let's stay at the inn." Mu Yi said directly. He didn't know about the local Quetang during this trip, and in his opinion, there was no need. Quetang could just develop naturally. He didn't want to interfere too much. Besides, he
This trip is mainly for Zhu Yun. As long as we find each other, we are done and can leave.
"Sir, our sect has a residence in Yangcheng. It is relatively quiet. If you don't mind it, you can live there." Yan Wushuang suddenly said in the carriage.
"That's fine." Mu Yi thought for a moment and said. After all, the inn was inconvenient with so many people coming and going, but a quiet house was more suitable for him now.
Seeing Mu Yi agree, Yan Wushuang also showed a smile on her face. After all, being able to get closer to Mu Yi is only good for her. You know, even just a casual suggestion from Mu Yi will benefit her a lot.
, This point has been verified on the road. At that time, Yan Wushuang's cultivation breath was unstable, and every time he performed the exercises, he felt a faint pain in his stomach. He originally thought it was because he had been injured, but later he received Mu Yi's guidance and slightly changed his exercises.
The pain disappeared instantly, much better than the master who taught her step by step.
And along the way, she also got to know Mu Yi's character, and even occasionally dared to make a few jokes with Mu Yi, and because of her deliberate efforts to please, Nian Nuer also had a good impression of her.
Under the leadership of Yan Wushuang, the group arrived at the house she mentioned. When they arrived, it was as she said. The place was not only spacious, but also relatively quiet, which made Mu Yi quite satisfied.
After settling in, Yan Feifei also rushed over and reported the news to Mu Yi.
Here, Zhu Yun changed her name again, Zhu Qing'er, but she suddenly became the mother of a brothel. She personally produced a group of brothels under her hands, and they were very famous in Yangcheng. And through the information that Yan Feifei found out, at least
More than a dozen people have been redeemed.
Zhu Yun, or Zhu Qing'er, was also known as a good person because of this. It said that she treated the women under her as her own, taught them step by step, and then chose husbands for them, which was admirable.
However, after learning about the incident in Foshan, Mu Yi understood why she did this. It was scary that those men did not know that their end was coming, and that they would be killed by the woman they loved.
"She has gone crazy." Yan Feifei's eyes flashed with heartache. After all, she had determined that Zhu Yun was the apprentice of her junior sister Zhu. Although she was worried about alerting the enemy and did not dare to get too close to him, she also carefully inquired here.
However, Na Zhuyun even has a temperament a bit like Junior Sister Zhu.
At present, Junior Sister Zhu's life and death are unknown, and her only apprentice has embarked on this path again, which is destined to be a difficult one. One can imagine her mood, but it is a pity that she can do nothing about it.
"She is free to choose whatever path she chooses. No one will force her." Mu Yi shook his head.
"When are you going to see her, sir?" Yan Feifei asked.
"As soon as possible, so as not to cause any trouble." Mu Yi said, after all, there are thirty-six human lives. We should save them if we can. Although those men are not good men, they are human lives after all.
"Thank you, sir." Yan Feifei suddenly said sincerely to Mu Yi. As for why she was thanking him, I'm afraid only she herself knows.
In the afternoon, although the brothel was not officially open for business, the door was already open, and many of the clerks were busy inside. As for the girls in the brothel, they were all dressed up and waiting for the opening in the evening.
Mu Yi only brought Chong Jiayi and Yan Feifei. As for Yan Wushuang and Wu Xiaosi, they wanted to accompany Nian Nuer shopping in the afternoon. This was also the reason why Mu Yi didn't want the little girl to come to such a place, so he asked Yan Wushuang to accompany them.
Little girl, go out.
As soon as Mu Yi and others entered the brothel, they immediately attracted attention. After all, there was a Taoist priest, an old man, and a woman with a noble temperament. These three people did not look like they were here to have fun.
"You three, our building is not open yet, why don't you three come back in the evening?" A middle-aged housekeeper came up to him and said with a smile on his face. Although he didn't know who Mu Yi was, he could somewhat recognize these three people.
None of them are simple, so it's best not to offend.
"Is Zhu Qing'er here? Let's look for her." Yan Feifei took a step forward and said.
"Who are you? What do you want from Miss Qing'er?" The middle-aged housekeeper suddenly became vigilant.
"I have a relationship with her, just tell her, Hehuan Sect, whether she comes to see me or not is her business." Yan Feifei said coldly, and the middle-aged housekeeper didn't dare to say anything when he saw this.
Whatever he said, the other party had already said that as long as he reported it, Zhu Qing'er would decide whether to meet or not, so it naturally had nothing to do with him.
"Okay, you three, sit here for a while. I'll be back when I go." The middle-aged butler pointed casually and asked the three of them to sit down in the lobby on the first floor, and then he hurriedly left.
"I hope you don't mind me making my own decisions." After the middle-aged housekeeper left, Yan Feifei said to Mu Yi with a little embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you see the person." Mu Yi shook his head and said nonchalantly.
Not long after, the middle-aged housekeeper came back with a strange look on his face, and looked at Mu Yi and the others with more respect, "You three, Miss Qing'er has decided to meet you, please come with me."
Under the leadership of the middle-aged housekeeper, the three of them went to the backyard. The scenery here was obviously better, with rockeries, ponds, and a bamboo forest.
Mu Yi's eyes naturally fell on the bamboo forest. He didn't know if it was just a coincidence or if the other party just liked bamboo so much, but he thought the latter was more likely.
"Squeak!"
The door opened, and the middle-aged housekeeper was waiting at the door. After Mu Yi and the others entered, he closed the door from the outside.
This is the outer room of a daughter's boudoir. The room exudes a good smell and is decorated very elegantly. There are two bookcases against the wall, which are filled with books. Mu Yi even has a bookcase in the room.
I saw a round ball on the shelf with curves outlined on it.
Mu Yi had seen this thing once before, in a noble family. It was regarded as a treasure and no one else could touch it.
Incense was lit on the table, making the room a little hazy.
There was no one in the room. Zhu Qing'er hadn't arrived yet, so Mu Yi was not in a hurry and sat down on the chair. Chong A and B spontaneously stood behind Mu Yi. As for Yan Feifei, she also sat carefully under Mu Yi's head.
.
After a while of burning incense, Mu Yi heard the sound of slight footsteps. After a few breaths, the door was pushed open and a woman walked in from the outside.
At first glance, this woman was not very beautiful, and Mu Yi even felt a sense of disappointment in his heart. If we really counted, the woman could only be regarded as a middle-aged girl, far inferior to the master and apprentice Yan Feifei.
, this made Mu Yi somewhat doubt whether the Zhu Qing'er in front of him was in Zhuyun in Foshan.
After all, according to Wu Xiaosi's narration, Zhuyun in Foshan was a beauty, otherwise she would not have attracted people to fight for her. Later, the son of the chief bookkeeper of Fucheng took her away forcibly. If it is just like this now, it is obviously not enough.
of.
"Zhu Qing'er has met a few of you." After Zhu Qing'er came in, his eyes first glanced at Mu Yi in the main seat, then fell on Yan Feifei, and then returned to Mu Yi. After all, just from the position
You can tell who is in charge.
"Are you Zhu Qing'er?" Mu Yi asked calmly.
"Reply to the Taoist priest, the slave is Zhu Qing'er." Zhu Qing'er replied, her voice neither arrogant nor humble, with a hint of firmness in her gentleness.
"No, you are not Zhu Qing'er." Yan Feifei spoke before Mu Yi could speak.
"Why did this lady say this? The name of the slave family was given to her by her parents, but she never dared to change her name privately." Zhu Qing'er looked at Yan Feifei in confusion.
"Hmph, if you are Zhu Qing'er, how come you don't have a trace of our Hehuan Sect's Kung Fu in your body? As long as our Hehuan Sect practices the same Kung Fu, a special reaction will occur. Moreover, your cultivation level is too low.
Yan Feifei said.
"The slave family only said Zhu Qing'er, but never said he was a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. Did Madam make a mistake?" Zhu Qing'er looked at Yan Feifei with a puzzled face, while Mu Yi sat there and watched quietly.
With.
"Give you a chance to let the real Zhu Qing'er or Zhu Yun come out." Yan Feifei said seriously. Previously, because she was worried about arousing suspicion, she did not come forward in person, but used the power of the side sect to find out about Zhu Qing'er.
, coupled with what she did, made her instinctively believe that Zhu Qing'er was Zhu Yun.
But when they met now, she didn't expect that this Zhu Qing'er was not the other Zhu Qing'er. This made her feel that she had lost face in front of Mu Yi. After all, she had promised her before, but now she found out that it was a mistake. How should she explain it?
"Madam, I really don't know what you are talking about." Zhu Qing'er still shook her head, looking confused.
"Did you order this incense?" Suddenly, Mu Yi stretched out his hand, and the incense burner on the table in the distance was held in front of him by an invisible big hand. Seeing this scene, Zhu Qing'er's expression changed obviously.
There was a little more nervousness in the eyes.
Yan Feifei's face suddenly changed, and then turned livid. At this time, no matter how stupid she was, she could tell from Mu Yi's attitude that there must be something wrong with the incense. As a member of the Hehuan Sect, she had also learned this
Planting things, but she never thought that one day she would make such a low-level mistake. Although this was specifically related to this incense, it was more because she was just thinking about things and subconsciously ignored everything around her.
, even though I just saw the incense and even smelled it, there was no reaction.
"Yes, this incense is used by the slave family to refresh themselves." Zhu Qing'er immediately explained.
"Really? The housekeeper just reported to you, but why did it take so long for you to come over after we arrived? Didn't you light the incense in advance, then hide out, and wait until the incense was almost burned before coming in again?" Mu Yi's mouth showed a trace.
Satire.
"The Taoist priest is joking, how could the slave family do this? And the slave family is also in the house now. If there is really a problem with this incense, wouldn't the slave family also suffer together?" Zhu Qing'er said with aggrieved face, as if Mu Yiping had wronged her in vain.
.
Unfortunately, her performance had no effect. Chong A and B would never doubt Mu Yi's words. As for Yan Feifei, she did not dare to doubt it. What's more, she also vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the fragrance, but the specific problem was
Which, I couldn’t tell clearly for a while.
Although the Hehuan Sect has many secret recipes, she has never seen anything like this before. Otherwise, if it were a familiar scent, she would have recognized it long ago even if she was in a trance.
"This incense should be aimed at the power of the mind, right? It can paralyze the mind unknowingly, and it is difficult to detect until it strikes. I didn't expect that there is such a scent in the incident, or is it poison?" Mu Yi frowned slightly, but his
There was no worry at all on his face.
As for Zhu Qing'er, her expression changed drastically when Mu Yi said these words. At the same time, she quickly stepped back a few steps until she reached the door, then stared at Mu Yi. However, for a while, she did not open the door.
When I left, I didn’t know whether I had enough confidence in myself or I didn’t dare to open the door and leave.
"Who are you? What's the purpose of coming here?" Zhu Qing'er asked quickly, her expression becoming a little distorted. At the same time, there was a burst of movement outside. (To be continued)
