I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 15 The Little Prince

Jiang Huajiao hid in the dark, quietly looking at the room he lived in.

There was no one in front of the door, and on the carved mahogany door, Liu Kui's spell was still there.It's just that there is an extra handprint on the door, bloody, as if someone touched it with a bloody hand.

She gestured secretly, and felt that the hand was about the same size as hers, like a woman's hand.

Who did it?Intentional or unintentional?
If it was intentional, why, to scare her?
If she was really a monster, she might be scared to death at this moment.

Huajiao smiled, opened the door and entered the room, cleaned up briefly, and lay down to rest.

Although the Raoliang Pavilion is mysterious and terrifying, it is nothing to her.In the past two years, she has been traveling around, sometimes eating and sleeping in the open, and napping anywhere when she is sleepy, even sleeping on the grave.

It rained in the middle of the night.

The window was blown open by the wind, and amidst the pattering rain, one could vaguely hear the rolling spring thunder.

Half asleep and half awake, Huajiao felt that he was back on the winding mountain road of Huaiyin Mountain.

She saw a mound in the distance, and she was very surprised. She didn't know when there was such a hill in front of the village.As he got closer, he saw clearly that it was not a mound, but a mountain of corpses.

One corpse after another overlapped and squeezed each other in strange postures.

Huajiao recognized her grandmother and grandfather, saw A Niang, found her aunt, one after another, they were all members of the Jiang clan she was familiar with.There was blood on their faces, their fingers and arms were severed, and they were no longer what they were before they were alive.

Huge shock and grief hit her, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether it was real or not.

In her heart, they were all powerful demon subduing masters, how could they all be killed overnight?

She finds it ridiculous!
This would rather believe that this is an illusion, a nightmare!
However, the grief was burning like a flame, and the madness was burning all over her limbs, as if to remind her that this was true.

it is true!
Really!

A feeling of suffocation struck.

She didn't know when she sank into the water, and the icy river water surrounded her.

She keeps sinking...

sink.

Suddenly, a black shadow swam towards her. The black shadow was so huge that it seemed to be extremely heavy, and it made the river muddy.

The black shadow gradually approached, and suddenly there was darkness in front of him.

Huajiao shuddered, and suddenly woke up.

Panting heavily, she wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with a flick of her sleeve. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly noticed a figure standing by the window.

"Who are you?" Huajiao asked coldly.

The man turned around, and the white clothes fluttered under the night wind, like euphyllum blooming in the dark night.

Huajiao saw his face clearly and was taken aback.

He was actually the boy in white clothes in the peach blossom forest, the one Zhou Sheng called Yudujian.

Hua Jiao didn't know why he appeared in her room. He and Zhou Sheng had already left the Liangliang Pavilion, why did he sneak into her room in the middle of the night?
"What are you doing here?" Huajiao asked coldly, his whole body tensed up, ready to attack at any time.

His eyes fell on her face, and his eyes suddenly softened.

"I've been thinking about you, so I came here, don't you like it?" He said, walking towards her bed, leaning over, and reaching out to stroke her forehead.

"Why are you sweating? Are you living in a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here." He looked down at her, and his originally cold eyes were tender, and his voice was extremely gentle, as if he was afraid. scare her.

Hua Jiao felt that he was bewitched, but he didn't move, allowing him to pick up the towel to wipe the sweat off her forehead, then stretched out his arms to hug her, and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Hua Jiao's face suddenly became hot, and he said softly, "Bad guy, are you taking revenge on me?"

As soon as the words fell, his kiss fell on her lips.

"Boom" a sound of spring thunder awakened Huajiao.

She sat up suddenly, only to realize that she had a dream within a dream.Moreover, what made her feel ridiculous was that she actually dreamed of him.

Perhaps, she was too lonely.

She has been alone for a long time, and thought that she had already gotten used to it, but she was not.

In the past two years, on rainy nights, she would dream of the day when the Jiang family of her grandfather's family died.

It was pitch black outside the window, and it was still some hours before dawn.

The rain was very loud, and the wind was also very strong. The bells on the eaves were blown by the wind and jingled.

This is the first rain this spring, not as lingering and gentle as in previous years, but ferocious and chilling.

Hua Jiao got up and walked to the window, opened the window wider, and felt the invasion of the cold rain.

This is her habit. After waking up from a nightmare, she often can't sleep anymore, so she will stand by the window and watch the night rain.Thinking of the departed relatives and friends, combined with the desolate cold rain and gloomy night outside the window, all the ups and downs and pains seem to be nothing to fear.

She looked down and suddenly froze.

The room she lived in was on the second floor of Zhenxing Building, and a green bamboo was planted outside the window.At this time, the night rain hit, and the green bamboos swayed with the wind, colliding with each other and making a light rattling sound.

However, at the top of the bamboo forest, there was a dark shadow curled up.

At first, Huajiao thought it was the mist at the bottom of the pool, but when he looked again, he found that the bamboo it lived on was too thin and was bent by it.It's a pity that the night was too late, and it was pitch black outside, so she couldn't see what it was.But if this thing is a beast, it usually has night vision eyes, so it must have seen her already.

Sure enough, the thing sensed Hua Jiao's gaze, barked, and disappeared into the night.

She didn't chase after it, the thing didn't seem to have any evil spirit, maybe it was just an ordinary beast.

***
The day of the prostitutes around Liangge starts at noon.

They slept late the night before, and got up when the sun was high the next day. They never had to eat in the morning. After washing up and having lunch, they would practice their skills.

Or sing a song and hang your voice, or press your legs down, or play the piano and play the strings...

Qiuniang also didn't let Huajiao and Leopard Demon go. Just after lunch, she ordered them to be summoned to a hall in Zhenxing Building.

Two courtesans had been waiting in the hall in advance.

Sitting in the armchair, Qiu Niang pointed to the two courtesans and said, "This is Xue Rong, the oiran of last month in our pavilion, and Zuo Ernu, the oiran of this month. From now on, they will teach you how to accompany guests. By the way, learn another skill."

Qiuniang introduced Huajiao and Baoyao to Zuoernu and Xuerong: "This is a new courtesan, you two are good teachers. They will succeed in the future, and they will benefit from you."

As a prostitute, in addition to providing phantom for the entertainment of distinguished guests, it is too difficult to learn skills.

Zuo Ernu was a little surprised when he saw the corner of the painting.

The woman named Xue Rong next to her was not very beautiful, but her figure was slender and light, walking, sitting and lying seemed to be as graceful as a bird.

Qiuniang took the tea from the maid, sipped it and said, "Zuoernu is good at music. Guqin, pipa, and harp are just rotten wood with strings on them. You can play any tune you want. Xue Rongshan The dance, Jinghong dance, even the palm dance, she also dances."

The corner of the picture couldn't help but be speechless.

The rotten wood can be played with strings, and can also dance with palm dances. No wonder these two are oirans.

"Tell me, you two, what do you want to learn?" Qiuniang asked.

Zuo Ernu blinked at Huajiao, Huajiao smiled, stepped forward and said, "Mother Qiu, let me learn the piano."

She naturally wanted to choose Zuoernu.

Qiu's mother glanced at her, nodded and said: "You look timid and fearful, learning the piano is also suitable." Qiu's mother turned to the leopard demon and asked, "What about you?"

The leopard demon had a hostile face in the dark room at the beginning, as if I would eat whoever asked me to accompany the guests, even before going to accompany the guests last night, he was very arrogant and surly.

But now he drooped his head, like a frost-beaten eggplant.

The strangest thing is that she is willing to obediently come to learn skills?
"Last night, the distinguished guest said that my waist is as straight as an iron plate, and my voice is like a ghost. I... I want to learn to dance and sing. When I learn it, hehe..." After the leopard demon finished speaking, he laughed, There was a fierce light in his eyes.

The corner of the picture instantly understood that it was poisoned last night, which aroused Leopard's competitive spirit.

Qiuniang was very satisfied with the attitude of the two, and immediately ordered Liu Kui to watch over them and left.

Zuo Ernu led the painting corner and sat in front of the lyre. She stretched out her slender hand, pressed it on the lyre, and played a song first.

"How did you become a courtesan?" Zuo Ernu asked in a low voice while the music of the piano was high.

Huajiao smiled: "Because I'm poor, if I pretend to be a prostitute and come here every day to look for monsters, how much money will I have to spend? I'm afraid it won't be enough to fill in all the reward money you gave."

"Then have you found it?" Zuo Ernu twirled his fingers nimbly, while lightly twirling the strings slowly, he asked in a low voice.

"I have a clue." Hua Jiao said in a low voice, "I'm asking you about someone. You have heard that there is a man named Yu in Lan'an. He is young and handsome, and he is an official even in the capital."

"Surname Yu?" Zuo Ernu pointed for a moment, frowned in thought, then hooked vigorously, and said in the clanging piano sound: "Lan'an Yu has very few surnames. If it is a handsome young man, it must be Yu Taiqing." Yes, but I haven't heard that he supervises everything."

Yu Taiqing?
"Who is he?" Huajiao asked.

Zuo Ernu plucked the strings with his fingers like clouds and flowing water: "The little prince of Nanzhao, whose mother is our Great Jin Princess Wenning."

Hua Jiao groaned, unexpectedly he was from Nanzhao: "Then does he live in Lan'an?"

"Yes, since King Nanzhao passed away, he returned to Dajin." Zuo Ernu said in a low voice, "It is said that because of his eyes, I couldn't stay in Nanzhao Kingdom any longer."

Huajiao raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"The king of Nanzhao has blue eyes." Zuo Ernu whispered mysteriously, with something in his words.
