When the Yanqu Mansion picked up the stone lion in front of the house of one of the few wealthy men in Pingsha Town, and with trembling hands, he pulled out the piece of cloth with the words written on it, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red.
"Axiu, we succeeded. The meeting place is at the old dock in the west of the town."
Axiu slumped to the ground, holding her hair with both hands, her eyes dull: "I am really more tired than practicing martial arts these days. Teacher, when you see that person, can you beat him up first?"
In the Luoxia Inn in the distance, the hairless Zhou Yi was lying on the couch, enjoying the massage of his scalp.
"Amitabha, if you take action, can you be considered a junior monk?"
Originally, he planned to wait until the meeting with the man in Yanqu Mansion was over, and after the psychological burden was gone, he would go to him to inquire about the whereabouts of the Buddhist scriptures.
But now, he has developed a strong "curiosity" about his contacts.
"As expected of you, you are from Chang'an City. There are so many twists and turns in your head... You really deserve a beating."
Whoosh!
The monk flew out of the window, like a big snow-white bird, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.
…
Pingsha Town is the place where the Yuqing River must pass by bypassing Guangyuan County and flowing to the Nanting River.
The old wharf in the west of the town was built during the Tianyuan period and has a history of more than a hundred years. Due to various reasons, it is no longer used as a wharf.
As early as more than ten years ago, the old wharf had been spotted by a big boss in the county, who built a restaurant and gambling room to enjoy the pleasures of red chickens and white dogs.
Nowadays, it is even more arty, learning from Jiangnan, Chang'an and other places, and opening brothels for the entertainment of high-ranking officials and wealthy households in the county.
The boss is in a high position, so he naturally retreats behind the scenes.
The business of the old wharf is managed by his relatives.
…
In the restaurant, Yan Qufu, who had already put on a new robe, stared at the cup in front of him in concentration, taking a puff of dry cigarette from time to time.
Sitting at a separate table, Axiu still had her black hair tied up and hidden in her futou.
The woman is disguised as a man, with her legs curled up in an imageless way.
A look of curiosity appeared on her fair and delicate face from time to time, and her eyes couldn't help but look around, taking in the scenes of men and women, sensual dogs and horses in the boat near and far.
"Ahem."
Yan Qufu shook his pipe: "Don't look at it. There is nothing beautiful about the land of fireworks and the smoky atmosphere. Axiu, from now on, you need to learn how to be a lady. The female virtue said, don't be inappropriate..."
"
Axiu pushed it aside and said excitedly: "Teacher, those little ladies over there are such a sign. Each of those guests hugged one or two, why don't you hug one of them?"
"this……"
Before Yan Qufu could think of an answer, Axiu sighed: "It's a pity that they all have thin arms and legs. I can beat thirty of them alone, Axiu!"
Yan Qufu's hand holding the wine flask shook, his expression stiff.
He looked at the girl opposite him complicatedly, his eyes showing pampering, and soon became serious.
"Axiu, when you go to that place in the future, you must not say such things again. The women there are more beautiful and delicate than the women in the brothels you see in front of you. You can beat at least fifty of them alone, but
...With just a word or a gust of wind, they can make martial arts masters who are much more powerful than you kneel down and surrender, or their heads fall to the ground."
Axiu was stunned for a long time, and then whispered: "It's so powerful, can't the women there be good at sorcery? By the way, teacher, you never told Axiu that you left the person with the code behind and planned to take the teacher and me there.
where?"
Before Yan Qufu could speak, a deep voice came from nearby.
"I'm not taking you, but taking you alone to return to Chang'an City with a certain person."
Axiu looked surprised, and saw a trace of sadness in the eyes of the middle-aged man with pale temples opposite her, and she suddenly felt nervous.
"Teacher...you don't want to go? Then I won't go either!"
Bang!
The sound of oars clattering against each other was heard.
A small boat is drawn on the boat.
Er, a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe, fat and sweating profusely, boarded the boat with the support of his entourage.
Axiu's eyes widened when she saw the person coming.
"Teacher, is he the one who left the secret message?"
Before Yan Qufu could say anything, Axiu lightly tapped the futon under her body with her fingers. As if it was weightless, she turned over several tables, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to punch the fat man in purple robe.
"You've solved so many puzzles, and you're the only smart one in the world? You damn fat man! You're the only one in the world!"
What surprised Axiu was that the fat man in purple robe did not dodge or retreat, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he even sighed softly.
Ah Xiu's punch came to a steady stop three inches in front of the fat man in purple robe.
The wind of the fist shook the man's face, making it tremble like ripples on a lake.
But he didn't even blink.
"Why...why don't you hide?" Axiu pursed her lips.
The other party smiled and said: "Because I know that His Highness is kind-hearted and just wants to scare the ministers..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Qufu's expression changed: "Don't say such things..."
Snapped!
Under the incredulous gaze of the purple-robed fat man, Axiu turned her fist into a palm and struck the fat man's forehead with a knife from top to bottom.
"Hmph, do you really think that you are so smart that you can calculate everything? Let me tell you, my teacher, Axiu, is Manager Yan from the Xu Mansion in Wenhe County. I don't want to be like you... Wait a minute, what did you call me just now?
?”
The fat man in purple robe smiled bitterly, shook his head, glanced at Yanqu Mansion, then faced Axiu and straightened his clothes.
Push the golden mountain, knock down the jade pillar, and kneel down suddenly.
"My lord, Xue Yuanshan, I'm late to pick you up. I hope your highness will forgive me!"
Axiu was stunned again: "Hey, you...did you admit the wrong person? No, teacher, did this person drink too much fake wine?"
Axiu turned to look at Yanqu Mansion.
Then he saw this man whom he had regarded as a towering mountain, invincible, and his only support, like a teacher and a father, slowly put down the pipe that he kept in his hand all day long, and stood up silently.
Then he bent down and knelt down, and like the fat man, he prostrated himself and bowed to the ground.
"I, Yan Qu Mansion, have sent Your Highness the Princess here. I wish the Princess good health and a happy family life in the future. I am so happy that I am far away from the border."
Axiu's eyes suddenly turned red, she bit her lip, and quickly stepped forward to help the teacher up.
The broad shoulders of the middle-aged man are steady and powerful, like Qingniu Mountain outside Wenhe County, which is hard to shake.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess needs to say, 'Your Majesty, I am flat' before I can stand up. Remember, this is a ritual, and this will be the case in the palace from now on."
Yan Qufu said in a low voice with no expression on his face.
Axiu's body shook suddenly and she took two steps back.
"What princess! Teacher, what are you talking about? Who am I?"
