Chapter four hundred and forty-ninth see another day
Chapter 449: See you another day
It was such a coincidence that as soon as Ge Hong and Guan Maochun left, Chai Yan came back, and the two sides missed each other for the second time.
Chai Yan came back to pack some clothes, and he planned to spend the night in the Yiren Pavilion for the next ten days.
After dinner at home, Chai Yan packed up his things and went to Yi Ren Pavilion. When he arrived at Da Hulu Street, it was already dark, and it was only then that Chai Yan felt the real prosperity of Hulu Street.
At this time, Da Hulu Street looks completely different from what it looked like during the day. All the shops on both sides of the street are open. Many gambling houses are crowded and noisy. The brothels are also brightly lit, with singing and dancing birds everywhere.
It's not a lush scene.
Chai Yan had a delicate appearance and dressed like a scholar. When walking on the street, he would be surrounded by brothel girls soliciting clients from time to time. The polite ones would just wave their handkerchiefs and flirt with her with winking eyes and soft words, while some would be proactive and enthusiastic.
He stepped forward and took Chai Yan's arm, seemingly carelessly squeezing his arm with the softness of his chest, and kept making sweet noises, trying to pull Chai Yan into his brothel.
However, these women were politely rejected by Chai Yan one by one. The rejected brothel women left with anger, complaining that Chai Yan was boring and dull.
After walking and walking, we finally returned to the Yiren Pavilion. At this moment, the Yiren Pavilion is no different from other brothels. It is decorated with lanterns and bright lights. Standing outside the door, you can hear the music coming from inside. The guests who enter are also of all kinds.
They are all tall, short, fat and thin.
Chai Yan walked into the Yiren Hall and saw that the previously quiet hall was already bustling with activity. There were several people playing music on the stage in the center. Chai Yan had stayed in a brothel and knew that these people were musicians in the brothel.
Specialized in music warm-up and dance accompaniment.
Chai Yan passed through the crowd and went up to the second floor. When he was halfway up, he met the owner of Murong Hall.
When Murong Puliu saw it was Chai Yan, he smiled and said: "Master Chai, you are back..."
"Well, I went back and got some clean clothes." Chai Yan nodded and continued to go upstairs, and soon passed by Murong Puliu.
After Chai Yan stepped onto the corridor on the second floor, Murong Puliu stopped him: "Mr. Chai, Miss Yuzhu will play newly composed music on the stage later. Mr. Chai must come and enjoy it."
"Okay." Chai Yan replied with a smile, carrying the baggage and heading to the room.
Murong Puliu cast a contemptuous look at Chai Yan's back and said secretly: Pretend! Keep pretending! When you see Yuzhu later, I will take a good look at your ruthless appearance!
Then, Murong Puliu went downstairs and walked among the guests enthusiastically.
At the end of the hour, it was completely dark.
At this time, Ge Hong and Guan Maochun had been waiting in the woods behind Tianji Temple for a while, but "Steward Zhou" never showed up.
It's cold in the woods during the day, and after dark it's even bone-chilling.
Guan Maochun crouched under a strong tree and complained: "Uncle Ge, how long do we have to wait? Why doesn't that person come?"
"Wait a minute, it's just getting dark, so it should be here soon."
Ge Hong was too cold and wanted to leave here quickly, but "Steward Zhou" had made an agreement with him, and he had to keep the agreement.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, someone finally came from outside the woods. While the man was looking into the woods, he shouted in a low voice: "Gang leader... are you there? Gang leader...
"
Ge Hong immediately recognized this person's voice and responded immediately: "Here!"
When the other party heard the sound, he sped up and walked over. It was "Steward Zhou" who came.
Xu Zhengquan put his hands in his sleeves, came over and asked hurriedly: "Gang leader, how are you? Did you succeed?"
Ge Hong asked everyone to squat down, then shook his head and whispered: "There is no chance to make a move, that kid has been out for a day, and there is not even a trace of him."
Ge Hong would not tell him what he had missed with Chai Yan. That would be too embarrassing.
Guan Maochun also knew this, so he nodded in agreement.
Xu Zhengquan was secretly disappointed, and then asked: "Gang leader, what are your plans for the next step?"
Ge Hong said: "Don't ask, I have my own opinion! Listen clearly, we will meet here before dawn tomorrow morning, and I'm sure someone will hand it over to you then!"
After saying that, Ge Hong gave Guan Maochun a look, and the two of them turned around and walked out of the woods.
"It's not daylight yet?"
Xu Zhengquan was secretly worried. He squatted on the spot and waited for the two of them to go away before muttering and complaining: "Made, it's such a cold day, why do you want me to come so early..."
Xu Zhengquan shook his head helplessly, turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
After Ge Hong took Guan Maochun away from the grove, Guan Maochun asked: "Uncle Ge, now that the city gate is closed, should we find a place to spend the night first?"
Ge Hong kept walking, hunched his neck and tightened his collar, saying: "No hurry, let's find a place to eat first, and let's go to Chai's house later!"
"Uncle Ge, you mean, we went in at night and tied him up?" Guan Maochun asked.
Ge Hong nodded: "Yes! You heard it this morning too. That boy must not be out of town. If he doesn't go home to eat, why can't he go home and sleep?"
Guan Maochun clapped his hands and said: "Yes, let's wait until he falls asleep at night, go in and tie him up, and then hand it over to Butler Zhou before dawn. Then we take the money and leave. The city gate happens to be opened, so he doesn't notice it.
ah!"
Ge Hong smiled proudly: "Let's go."
Guan Maochun suddenly asked: "But Uncle Ge, what if that kid really doesn't go home to sleep?"
Ge Hong turned around and glared: "Bah, shut your crow mouth!"

Around Hai hour, Chai Yan was reading in his room, when suddenly the melodious sound of a piano came from outside.
As soon as the piano sounded, the originally noisy hall became quiet, and Chai Yan immediately understood that the person playing the piano must be the Yuzhu girl that Murong had mentioned before.
Chai Yan listened to the music quietly for a while, raised an eyebrow and nodded: "Not bad, it sounds pretty good..."
Then, Chai Yan continued to lower his head and read the book.
Shangguan Peining's curious voice immediately appeared: "Chai Yan, why don't you go out and take a look at this Polygonatum odoratum?"
Chai Yan was not interested in this and continued to stare at the book, replying in his mind: "Wait a minute, I'll finish reading this paragraph first..."
Chai Yan was reading a book about catching monsters, and he really happened to see something exciting at this time.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Peining said: "It's really strange. The monster is actually more interesting than the beauties outside."
Chai Yan smiled and said nothing, and continued to read how the protagonist in the book planned to catch the monster.
After a while, the music outside disappeared, and applause broke out in the hall.
Chai Yan just finished reading a chapter and put down the book, then stretched hard and moved his waist.
Shangguan Peining saw that Chai Yan did not move, so he asked again: "You really don't want to take a look?"
Chai Yan yawned, half-lidded eyes and said: "I'm tired of listening to this song. Let's see her some other time. Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities here... Let's go to bed first...
..."
While talking, Chai Yan had already untied his coat and walked into the inner room...
