The Grandmaster Strategist

In the 15th year, at the turn of spring and summer, Yong's army was in a hurry to attack Bajun. Yu Myanmar was afraid of harming each other internally, and Yong's army was strong externally, so he wanted to surrender to the enemy. Envoys went back and forth, but they gradually let it out, but the matter was not accomplished. A secret envoy presented the Duke's old sword and a letter. Yu Mian was ashamed after reading the book. He felt regretful and regretful. He drew his sword and wanted to sacrifice his life. However, his confidants blocked him, so he refused Yong's envoy and swore to die with the city. In September, Bajun was defeated by Yong's army, and Mian Nai fell on his sword and died in order to fulfill his oath. This is the end of the public's remaining power.

In the winter of the 16th year, Yong's army occupied the territory north of the Yangtze River and sent its troops to cross the Yangtze River. However, the request for peace was not agreed, and everyone in the country was frightened. , made impassioned speeches, and went straight to the ban. The king of the country regretted it too late, so he removed the Wei Jun phase, ordered the restoration of the duke, reburied him with ceremony, built a temple in Jiangxia, and gave him the posthumous title of Zhongwu.

In AD, she was married to the Wu family. She was a daughter of a wealthy family, loyal, dignified, and strict in running the household. The father was falsely accused and sent to prison. His wife was informed first and left her servants alone, calmly and calmly.

That is, the father passed away and his family moved far away. The wife went to a plagued land with a weak constitution. She took care of the family and educated the children as usual. In the spring of the 16th year, the Dingyuan epidemic was raging. The wife collected herbs and made elixirs. She worked tirelessly and traveled all over the countryside to spread the prescriptions to save people. Thousands of people were born as a result of Mrs. Lai's gift of medicine, but they were all called "Empress" but not named.

In the spring of the seventeenth year, Chu died. Emperor Yong felt loyal and loyal, so he sent an envoy to Fujian and ordered his wife to go to Chang'an to support him. The lady refused and said: "My ancestors and my husband are all Chu ministers, and I am also a Chu minister. I dare not accept the imperial edict of Yong." The emperor sighed endlessly, but stopped and did not add any guilt.

My wife lived in Fujian for several decades and died in Tingzhou. After her death, all the disciples returned to Jiangxia with her coffin and were buried together. The Fujian people commemorated the lady's kindness and erected a tomb in Dingyuan, where the incense continues to this day.

The argument goes: Since the fall of the Jin Dynasty, various countries have been fighting for supremacy, and the world has been in chaos. Among them, the only ones who stand out are Yong, Chu, and Han. There are countless generals who are good at fighting, and they are full of civil and military weapons, and they are loyal and righteous. How many people in one generation can do that? . It is enough for the public to win the title of a weak young man, defeat the powerful enemy, fight thousands of miles, and rarely lose a single defeat. It is enough to dominate the army through military tactics, but this is still not a public reputation. The Duke went north to return to Xiangyang, but before the battle was over, he was ordered to lead the army. He wept in the wind. His loyal words came from the bottom of his heart, but the king didn't notice, and he was considered guilty of treason. At that time, he held the tiger talisman to control the three armies, and his power was the highest in the group. However, he tied his hands and went to death calmly. This is really difficult! Moreover, all the Dukes were loyal and loyal. After the death of Chu, Emperor Yong selected talented people to serve as officials. Chu people followed him like a stream, and all of them forgot their kindness. The Emperor ordered the Lu family to enter the court with high titles, and all the Dukes refused to serve. If this is the case, they are loyal and righteous. , and King Min killed him, what an injustice! What an injustice!

——"The Biography of Duke Zhongwu, the History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties"

The cold wind was howling, and although it was already early spring, there was still snow that had not yet melted. Lu Feng sat on the bluestone by the Dulongze Lake, hugging his knees and looking blank. Ever since he was forced to escape from Zhongli by his brother Xiang, he only felt that The world is huge, but he has nowhere to go, so when Wei Ying sent people to look for him, he did not object to Wei Ying's arrangement. After traveling to several places, he was sent to this place that was almost isolated from the world.

Dulongze was originally a lake downstream of the Huaihe River, stretching for more than ten miles and nurturing a fertile soil. However, decades ago, a flood occurred when the Yellow River diverted the Huaihe River. Dulongze no longer had the Huaihe River flowing in, and was gradually blocked by silt. , has now become a swamp, and the area within a radius of more than 20 miles is covered with sandy land. Grain cannot grow, and there are gradually no people. It is for this reason that Wei Ying built a few miles away from Dulongze. He took the secret rudder and prepared a hiding place in Poison Dragon Ze, so that he could avoid the enemy if something unexpected happened.

After Lu Feng was sent here, he would practice swordsmanship at the edge of the river if he had free time. This was the sword manual specially left for him by Wei Ying, or maybe he was worried that he would have nothing to do. Lu Feng also knew that the road ahead would be difficult, so practicing swordsmanship was very important. With his heart, let alone if he doesn't find something to do, how can he relieve the pain in his heart? His father was killed, his relatives are scattered, but he is powerless. This situation is not something ordinary people can bear.

But Lu Feng really couldn't do anything. Even if he wanted to raise an army for revenge, his father and brother were not allowed to do so because of his fate. Secondly, he was still young and did not have much prestige in his father's old army. It would be different if his elder brother Lu Yun was not allowed to do so. If he raised his arms and called out, there would be a cloud of followers. The feeling of powerlessness in his heart made Lu Feng gradually become haggard and thin.

We are obviously in the prime of our youth, but we are full of twilight.

I don't know how long I stayed there, but the sky was getting darker and the cold wind was getting colder. Lu Feng stood up and walked towards his residence. He was still dozens of feet away from the huts. Lu Feng suddenly felt a faint smell of blood in the wind, and felt a surge in his heart. Rin clenched his sword tightly, slowed down, and looked carefully. Usually at this time, there should be smoke rising from the hut, but today it was missing. Moreover, the door of the main room was ajar and not closed tightly. This was also a bit strange. abnormal.

Lu Feng took a deep breath, walked towards the hut as if he didn't know anything about it, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Zhao, I'm back." As if he was unsuspecting, he opened the door and walked into the main room. The moment he entered, he saw a wisp of sword light approaching silently from the corner of his eye. Lu Yun was already prepared, he fell down, turned up, waved his right hand, and shot three sleeve arrows at the sneak attack. The man let out a cry of surprise, drew back his long sword, and all three arrows in his sleeves were deflected. Lu Feng had already jumped up and stared at the man.

The person was a woman. Although she had a beautiful appearance, she had frosty hair on her temples and crow's feet were clearly visible at the corners of her eyes. Although it was difficult to guess, Lu Feng could be sure that this woman was already quite old. The woman's eyes were bright, and she looked at Lu Feng calmly and said, "What a smart boy, since you knew something had happened, why did you risk coming in?"

Lu Feng took a deep breath and said: "When I noticed the abnormality, I was already within your sight. If I had escaped at that time, although I might have avoided death, I would have had no chance to know who wanted to kill me, so I took the risk and came back. But your martial arts skills are so high, it seems that I have fallen into a trap."

The woman smiled coldly and said: "If it weren't for those four losers who had some skills and forced me to see blood, you wouldn't have noticed anything wrong. But it doesn't matter whether you come in or not. It's just that Save me the trouble and see that you are still a bit smart, I will give you a whole corpse." After that, the long sword in the woman's hand stabbed lightly. Although the sword was slow, Lu Feng felt that the long sword seemed like He sealed off all his escape routes. He recognized this sword. The sword manual given to him by Wei Ying had this "submit without fighting" style. The more proficient the swordsman, the more he felt that he could not resist. If the woman had used other moves, Lu Feng might have had no choice but to fight back with all his strength, but for this move, the sword manual Wei Ying gave him contained a broken move.

Although Wei Ying's martial arts were not as pure as those of the direct disciples of the Fengyi Sect, in order to deceive others, the master of the Fengyi Sect secretly taught him some Sanshou sword styles that he had carefully developed. Most of these sword styles were strange, cruel, and disrespectful. Because it didn't fit the Fengyi Sect's gorgeous and dignified style of swordsmanship, no one else was taught it except Wei Ying. And Wei Ying was the Prime Minister's son. He met many strange people and strangers, and read many secrets of swordsmanship in Dayongyu's study. Later, he presided over Chentang in Nanchu, and also won over many masters. He paid attention to his friendship. In terms of swordsmanship, no one in the world can match him. The sword manual he gave Lu Feng recorded the exquisite sword moves he had collected over the years, as well as some of his insights. Although it was messy, it was almost unparalleled in the world. The swordsmanship is exquisite, so Lu Feng can see the sword moves that can break this style. If Wei Ying could concentrate on his sword skills, he would never be helpless against Ling Yu's sword.

However, Lu Feng was overjoyed. He raised his sword at an angle and lifted the weight lightly, standing out like a strange soldier. This style of "walking on dangerous terrain" was a sword style that Wei Ying got by chance. He thought it could defeat Fengyi Sect's unique skill, so he recorded it in the sword manual, so Lu Feng remembered it in his heart. The woman didn't recognize her. If Wei Ying fought with her, she would be careful and not let Wei Ying succeed easily. But Lu Feng was a child, and the woman didn't take it seriously. Under this carelessness, Lu Feng's A sword had broken the woman's sword strength, smashed the window, and rushed out of the hut. The woman was immediately stunned. Although she had not made a move easily for many years, her swordsmanship was getting better and better, and she was confident that she had few opponents, but she was actually defeated by this young man.

However, although she missed, she immediately woke up. After leaving the hut, she saw the young man running in the direction he came from. She used Qing Gong to chase after him. Lu Feng had been practicing swordsmanship and internal strength under Wei Ying's guidance these days, and his Qing Gong had also made great progress. , the road was very familiar, and the woman couldn't catch up with him for a while, but the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

Lu Feng felt the pain in his chest swell, but he could only run for his life. Poison Dragon Ze finally appeared in front of him, almost rolling and crawling into the swamp. Just as he jumped up, the sound of a sword whistling was heard in his ears, and then he felt a sharp pain in his back. When he fell to a solid open space, he almost fainted from the pain, but he couldn't care less. He rolled up and rushed into the swamp.

The woman frowned, looking at the boy's whereabouts and following him. The boy was just running away, but he was familiar with the road and was able to move freely in this dangerous place that could be overturned at any time. Naturally, she didn't know that Wei Ying had sent People have carefully scouted the roads in Zezhong. After Lu Feng came here, he spent almost every day familiarizing himself with the terrain according to the map, and revised the map at any time. In order to cope with today's situation, he memorized every place where he could stand. In my heart, I can leap like flying.

Even so, before running a few miles, the woman saw the young man suddenly lost his footing and fell to the ground. She sneered, knowing that the young man was too seriously injured and could no longer support her. She flew away and prepared to take the young man's life. , Unexpectedly, as soon as she fell, there was a sound of a spring breaking in her ears, and her right foot was caught by something. The woman let out a scream and fell down. At this moment, Lu Feng, who was lying on the ground and did not know whether he was alive or dead, had already The carp straightened up, flew up, landed several feet away, and ran away.

The woman looked with her eyes and saw that her ankle was clamped by an animal trap. Blood was soaked through her clothes. The slightest movement caused pain to her bones. She knew that her leg bones had been broken. Although she has profound internal strength and excellent swordsmanship, she is still a woman after all. Although she has fought bloody battles, she has been pampered for many years and can no longer withstand such torture. She almost passed out from the pain. She finally took off the animal trap and looked around. All she saw was weeds and vines. There were vines, mud and mud, and there was no trace of anyone. She had to find two dead branches to tie the broken bones, and another branch as a crutch, and walked along the way. Although she only had one foot to facilitate her, she had outstanding lightness skills after all. It won't be difficult to move forward. Fortunately, when she chased her in, she memorized the route, and there were footprints that could be identified. With careful testing, she walked most of the distance without incident. Although the broken leg hurt her heart and lungs, if she couldn't get out, In the swamp, no one would know even if she died, so she could only hold on with all her strength, but she felt more and more regretful, never expecting that she would capsize in the gutter.

At this moment, the woman suddenly felt something moving under her feet. She subconsciously looked around and screamed loudly. She saw countless venomous snakes swimming in the swamp next to her, and she was stepping on a venomous snake. The woman It is natural to be afraid of snakes. She was so frightened that she jumped to the side, but she forgot that this was a swamp. Her feet were weak and she had already fallen into the mud. If she had calmed down at this time, she still had a chance to escape, but when she looked around, she could not escape. There were venomous snakes everywhere, and her hands and feet were limp in fear. Just by such a hesitation, she was bitten by the venomous snakes. The venom attacked her heart, making her unable to move, and she fell into the mud. Her fate could no longer be changed.

At this moment, Lu Feng, who was standing in the distance, watched coldly as the woman struggled desperately, gradually fell into unconsciousness, and slowly sank into the mud. He endured the pain and lured the woman to the place where he had set up a trap to capture the beast in the swamp. After causing her to be seriously injured, she ran away, then went around on the way back, covering up the real road, leaving forged footprints, and lured the woman into a place where poisonous snakes gathered. Didn't the name of Poison Longze be called casually? Finally, this woman was The woman was killed in the swamp. After staring at the woman for a long time, Lu Feng walked out.

Although he used the swamp to kill a powerful enemy, he did not feel relaxed at all. Although it was only a single move, he had already guessed that this woman belonged to Fengyi Sect. He would not think that Wei Ying was going to betray him. If Wei Ying wanted to kill him, all he had to do was secretly order a few people who were protecting him, and he would definitely not take precautions. Thinking that Wei Ying must have been in a dilemma, thinking that Wei Ying loved him in every possible way, and even recorded everything he learned in a book and taught it to him, Lu Feng couldn't help but shed tears when he thought of the possible danger he might be in. After finally walking back to the hut and finding the wing, Lu Feng felt even more sad when he saw the four bloody corpses inside. These four people had taken good care of him for many days, but they died in the hands of that woman. Although he was sad in his heart, Lu Feng did not dare to delay when he thought that the enemy would come again. He found some medicine and applied it to his wounds. He buried several Blood Guards beside the house and took away the gold and silver secret books hidden in the secret compartment. On the body, he left his short-term residence. Although the road ahead is bleak, Lu Feng has already made a decision. He wants to live in seclusion and practice swordsmanship hard. The world is unstoppable. Since he can't lead his army to the battlefield and avenge his hatred, he might as well walk around the world with a sword, or still be happy. A chance for grudges.

The flame of the solitary lamp has dimmed, and this person is haggard. Yan Wushuang is leaning on the soft couch with her eyes closed to rest. Her beautiful face is slightly sickly, and her complexion is as pale as snow. She coughs lightly from time to time. The maid serving beside her is not Feng. Yimen disciple, this time going south is very important, so she gave all her strength to Ling Yu. It's not that she doesn't know Ling Yu's desire to seize power, but if she can restore Fengyimen's former prestige, she doesn't mind sacrificing some power. At the beginning, among the disciples of Fengyi Sect, she and Ling Yu were regarded as the most respected by the master of Fengyi Sect, and they all had the hope of inheriting the throne. However, in the end, Ling Yu got the position of master of the sect. Yan Wushuang was not angry, so he and Ji Xia, Wei Ying joins forces to divide Ling Yu's power. But in comparison, Yan Wushuang is still the most loyal to Fengyi Sect among everyone. The reason why she competes with Ling Yu for power is because she is not convinced that Ling Yu can support the overall situation. This time, Ling Yu convinces with the reason of putting the overall situation first. After killing her, she decided to personally assassinate Shi Guan, and handed over all the hands to Ling Yu's command, while she stayed in the secret room behind Yueyingxuan to recuperate.

There was the sound of footsteps in her ears, and the person who came was walking in a hurry. Just when Yan Wushuang opened her eyes in confusion, a stunning woman of eighteen or nineteen years old walked in. Although she had tried her best to She concealed her identity, but whether it was the hairpin on her head, the jade bracelets on her wrists, or the cut and texture of her clothes and shoes, it could be seen that the person's status was extremely noble, but now her face was extremely frightened, and she threw herself in front of the bed and screamed sadly Said: "Sister, it's not good, something serious is bad, Master and the others are all in trouble."

Yan Wushuang felt as if her delicate body had fallen into an ice cave. He raised his sick body, grabbed the woman's wrist and said sternly: "Lingxiang, what did you say?"

With tears streaming down his face, Ji Lingxiang told the news he had learned from Nan Fujian one by one. Although everyone in Fengyi Sect was buried on Xianxia Ridge and no one came back to report the news, after Mrs. Lu and her entourage arrived in Pucheng, they explained to the government what they had encountered on the way. There were no bandits or the imperial army. For such a major event, it was natural to rush to Jianye six hundred miles away. Ji Lingxiang, as a noble concubine of Southern Chu and a long-serving minister, got the news almost quickly. She could read between the lines herself. Guessing the truth, if there were still people from Fengyi Sect, they would never let Madam Lu and his entourage reach Pucheng safely. After waiting anxiously for several days, I received confirmation from Shang Weijun that there were mountains of corpses on Xianxia Ridge, forming a pile in the capital, which shocked countless passers-by. After Ji Lingxiang learned the exact news that Fengyi Clan's entire army had been annihilated, he took advantage of the fact that the king of the country, Zhao Long, was staying in the Queen's Palace tonight and went out of the palace privately to report to Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang felt her heart aching and couldn't control herself. She opened her mouth to speak but spit out a mouthful of blood. Ji Lingxiang quickly took the teacup on the table and stepped forward to serve Yan Wushuang. Yan Wushuang calmed down slightly and took two warm sips from the teacup. He was holding a cup of fragrant tea. He was about to raise his head to ask more questions when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen. He looked down in shock and saw a bare hand holding a dagger tightly, and the entire blade of the dagger was buried in his chest. Yan Wushuang struck out with a palm, and Ji Lingxiang was pushed out by her and hit the door. After a while, he stood up, with blood bleeding from the corner of his mouth, his face as beautiful as paper, and laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, senior sister's injury is not serious. Otherwise, this palm could kill me."

Yan Wushuang said with an indifferent expression: "Why are you doing this?"

Ji Lingxiang's beautiful face was full of anger, and she said fiercely: "Because I want to live, I don't want to be your pawn. I, Ji Lingxiang, am now a dignified concubine, but in front of you, I am just an ordinary pawn. I am not willing to give in, but I dare not resist. I know that if you want me to die, it will be easy. But it is different now. The master and the sect leader are both dead and can no longer threaten me. The only thing that makes me The one who has trouble sleeping and eating is Senior Sister Yan. You people are different from me. You are the direct disciples of Fengyi Sect. Once the news of the death of Master and the others comes back, the Fengyi Sect will be in your pocket. If you want to revive Fengyi Sect will definitely make things difficult for me. If you don’t want to cheer up, you can still possess tens of millions of gold and silver. Who doesn’t like glory and wealth? I, Ji Lingxiang, don’t want to go on the road of no return with you people who are at the end of their rope, and I don’t want to give up. Such a huge wealth. As long as you die, only me and Lingyu will be left in Fengyi Sect. Lingyu only focuses on music. She has mediocre martial arts and no power. It will be easy for me to deal with her. When the time comes, All this belongs to me. With all this wealth in my hands, the support of my adoptive father, and even the king's beloved concubine, I can do whatever I want. If I don't kill you, how can I be worthy of myself?"

Yan Wushuang smiled miserably and said: "Okay, okay, you are ruthless, and you are worthy of being a disciple of Fengyi Sect. It's a pity that the country of Nanchu is in danger, but I want to see how long you can run rampant." After that, he pulled out the gun inserted in his chest. Blood surged out from the dagger. Yan Wushuang waved his jade hand, and lightning flashed across Ji Lingxiang's cheek and penetrated into the door. Ji Lingxiang felt a coldness on his face. He stretched out his hand to touch it. There was blood on his slender fingers. Horrified. Looking at it carefully, he saw that Yan Wushuang had closed his eyes and passed away. Then he dared to walk to the bronze mirror and carefully looked at the scars on his face. Fortunately, it was just a line of blood. If the palace's secret medicine was applied, it would heal in ten days. Only then did I feel relieved. The slightly blurry image of the beauty in the bronze mirror showed a bright smile, and then a cold light flashed, and a flying knife shot into the body of the shivering maid hiding in the corner of the room, and a short scream came from the room.

Sandalwood curled up, the spring breeze entered the curtains, Lingyu concentrated on playing the piano, and a song "Yilan Cao" flowed out from under his fingers. When the song ended, Lingyu sighed softly, and recalled the handsome man who called himself the Fourth Young Master to guide him. The scene of the piano art, he murmured: "Everyone can know the quiet plant, but the pure fragrance is only kept secretly. Since there is no gentleman to wear it, the country's fragrance has not declined. The white dew touches the long morning, and the youth comes late every time. I don't know how to be the road grass, the fragrance is fragrant What do you want to do? (Note 1)"

She played the strings intentionally or unintentionally, and worries arose in her heart. Although she lived in the secluded building and did not care about worldly affairs, she could still feel the unrest inside and outside Yueyingxuan. The elders of the master's sect had not been seen for a long time. Yesterday, she went to visit Yan as usual. The first person said hello, but she learned that Yan Wushuang had left Yueyingxuan. She knew that Yan Wushuang was seriously injured, and she couldn't help but wonder. The stewards who took care of the chores in the Xuan were also mysterious. Based on her identity, although she had always ignored Regarding matters in the Xuanzhong, if you ask questions, the steward should answer one or two questions. However, when she questioned her yesterday, she was dealt with perfunctorily by those people and did not get any answers. Such strange situations made her feel uneasy. Today So he simply stopped going out to entertain guests and stayed in the building playing the piano to entertain himself.

At this moment, Luan'er, the maid next to Lingyu, stumbled in and shouted: "Miss, it's not good, people from Wanhua Tower are here, saying that Yueyingxuan has been sold to them, and the girls are already in chaos. It’s a group.”

Lingyu stood up in shock, walked outside the door, leaned on the railing and looked around. He saw that the garden was indeed in chaos. There were big men wearing Wanhualou uniforms running back and forth everywhere. Lingyu turned around a few times at a loss. Circle, I couldn't think of anyone to ask. Thinking about the hesitant look on the steward's face yesterday, he must have already known what happened today. He walked into the room blankly, fell down on the embroidered pier, and after a long time said: "Luan'er, go and invite Wanhua When the person in charge of the building comes over, he says that I have something to ask."

Luan'er hurriedly responded and was about to go out when a gentle voice came from outside the door and said: "No need to invite, Wan is already here. Miss Lingyu is the esteemed oiran, so Wan should naturally come to invite her in person." After a while, a middle-aged man in rich clothes walked in with a smile on his face. He seemed to be a businessman who was friendly and made money, but definitely not like a tycoon who controlled half of the world in Jiangnan Fengyue.

Lingyu stood up and said in courtesy: "Lingyu has met Lord Wan Lou, but because he had some doubts in his heart, he had to invite him to ask. I don't know how Yueyingxuan became the property of Lord Wan Lou. Although Er Niang has passed away, There is naturally someone taking over Yueyingxuan, so it shouldn’t fall into the hands of outsiders?”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Miss Lingyu must not know yet. The real owner of Yueyingxuan has been buried in Xianxia Ridge on the border of Fujian and Vietnam. This matter has spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River. Yueyingxuan has become a rootless water. Wan Mouhua He paid five million taels of silver to buy all the brothels under Yueyingxuan's name, and the girl is one of them. If Lingyu doesn't believe it, you can take a look at these contracts."

Lingyu felt that her delicate body was crumbling. Although she did not have deep feelings for the people of Fengyi Sect, they had been together for many years. Without Fengyi Sect, she would just be an orphan in the sea of ​​people, even though she had already developed a feeling of alienation. , and will not be unmoved. Luan'er quickly stepped forward and supported her. Ling Yuqiang calmed down and said: "I'm rude, please let me go through the contract document. If it is true, I can't stop the landlord from taking over Yueyingxuan."

Master Wan put a volume of documents on the desk under the window. Lingyu stepped forward to examine them carefully and found that the contract documents were all genuine. Although she ignored Xuanzhong's affairs, she knew that not many people could get these things, and she felt a surge in her heart. Sigh, if it was really the third junior sister who did it, then it must be absolutely true that the master died in Xianxia Ridge. Lingyu was even more shocked when he saw her own selling contract. She was originally bought by Xiao Lan, but when she was accepted by Ji Xia, the contract had no effect, and she didn't dare to He believed that Fengyi Sect would let him go, and he didn't pay attention to the selling contract. He didn't expect that Ji Lingxiang was so cruel that he sold himself to Wanhua House. Wouldn't it mean that he was at the mercy of others. Thinking of this, my heart was filled with anxiety, and I felt that my delicate body went limp, and I had already passed out in Luan'er's arms. In fact, this is the reason why Lingyu has never regarded herself as a member of the martial arts world, and has no idea that she can use force to solve problems. Otherwise, even if her martial arts skills are not high, it is not impossible to escape.

I don't know how long it took, Lingyu woke up and turned around, and a clear and sweet voice came to her ears: "Master Wan, this is your fault. There are rules in Fengyue Field. When the Qinhuai Oiran Competition was held, It is clearly stated in black and white that only sisters who have redeemed themselves can participate. Otherwise, if they are involuntarily, how can they be qualified to be the leader of fireworks? What's more, since ancient times, sisters who can be the most beautiful and win the oiran have not been held hostage. This is the truth. This contract of sale is real, and it should be broken. Besides, it may not be true. If Master Wan ignores the rules and wants to embarrass Sister Lingyu with this contract, he will probably hurt the sisters. Heart. Among us women who fell into the world of prostitution by mistake, who doesn’t look forward to one day living a pure life? If Sister Lingyu, the second best among the flowers, can’t get a free body, I’m afraid all the sisters will die of their conscience. "

Lingyu heard the familiar voice, opened his eyes and looked around, and saw that he was lying on the soft couch in the inner room. Through the bead curtain, he could faintly see a graceful figure talking frankly. He sat up and saw Luan'er beside him. Looking at himself with tears in his eyes, he whispered: "What's going on?"

Luan'er sobbed: "After Miss fainted, Master Wan ordered his maid to wait on Miss to rest. The maid knew what Miss was thinking, but asked Sister Xuanzang for help. No one could do anything. It was Miss Yuerong who said that Miss Ru Meng has a chivalrous bones and a soft heart. She has always solved problems for the sisters, and Miss Rumeng can also speak in front of Master Wan. If we can ask her to come forward, there may be a change. Although the maid also knows that our Yueyingxuan has always been at odds with Miss Liu, but after several Qin meetings, When we met, Miss Rumeng admired Miss Liu very much, so she tried her best to send a letter to Miss Liu."

Warmth surged in Lingyu's heart, and he managed to stand up. Seeing that his clothes were decent, he helped Luan'er out of the bead curtain, and saw Lord Wan and Liu Rumeng sitting opposite each other. Liu Rumeng is already twenty-six years old this year. If she were any other prostitute, she would probably be old and golden. However, Liu Rumeng is different. Compared with when she won the first prize that day, her grace is not diminished at all. She is seen wearing a uniform. After the rain, she wears a sky-green floor-length skirt, with green silk tied behind her head, like a waterfall. Her figure is as graceful as a slender willow, her face is as graceful as a spring flower, her bright eyes are flowing, looking forward to her posture, filling the room with light.

Lingyu and Liu Rumeng didn't know each other very well. They only met Qin a few times. Yue Yingxuan and Liu Rumeng had a lot of dissatisfaction, but Liu Rumeng was generous and never said cold words to them. When he fell into a predicament, Liu Rumeng, whom he didn't know well, came to rescue him. Instead, his junior sister betrayed him. Unexpectedly, he felt so sad that he only called out "Sister Liu" and became choked up and unable to speak.

Liu Rumeng stood up and took Lingyu into her arms. She raised her eyebrows and said to Master Wan: "Rumeng always respects Master Wan in his actions. If Master wants to embarrass Sister Lingyu today, although Rumeng is weak, she can't." Just sit back and watch this matter, if the poster is willing to be accommodating, I think if I ask for anything in the future, Sister Rumeng and Lingyu will not refuse."

Master Wan's thoughts are spinning. If Liu Rumeng raises his voice, I am afraid that the girls in the brothels under his banner will respond. Most of the girls on the Qinhuai River have received Liu Rumeng's favor. Even if he can force these women to submit with high pressure, but in this way They must be reluctant, and trouble will inevitably arise. Besides, if he gains a reputation as being mean and ruthless, he may lose more than he gains. Thinking deeply, he smiled and said, "Since Rumeng said this, how could Wan not give face to the girl?" After that, he said with a smile. Then he burned Lingyu's deed of sale on the fire and said: "Miss Lingyu is free from now on. Of course, if the girl is willing to stay in Wanhua Tower, Wan will treat her with courtesy."

Lingyu felt so ecstatic that she could hardly speak. Seeing this, Liu Rumeng let her go and pushed her gently. Only then did she remember to step forward and bow to her: "Thank you so much for your kindness." After a moment of hesitation, she asked again. Said: "Excuse me, the poster, is the incident about Xianxia true?"

Master Wan said meaningfully: "If it weren't true, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the guts to accept Yueyingxuan. The girl and them are not fellow travelers, they just met by chance and spent a period of time together in the same boat. From now on, the girl should also give up." In the past, it’s time to live a free life.”

Lingyu felt relaxed after hearing this. She had no loyalty to Fengyi Sect, and the only nostalgia she had was broken by Ji Lingxiang's ruthlessness. She no longer wanted to stay in Yueyingxuan, but the road ahead was uncertain and she had nowhere to go, but she I feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Liu Rumeng smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry. Although my place is simple, you can still live there. Why don't you, sister, come to my place to rest for a few days? It's not too late to make a decision after a while."

Lingyu said gratefully: "Thank you, sister. I have no choice but to bother you. Master Wan, Luan'er has served me for several years, and I can't bear to part with her. If the host agrees, Lingyu is willing to redeem Luan'er for a hundred gold."

Master Wan smiled and said: "Miss Lingyu is serious. Since Luan'er is the girl's maid, how can Wan keep it in trouble? It's just a hundred gold, but I don't take it seriously. The girl has everything with her, so she can take care of it slowly. Wan will order Send it to Miss Liu."

Lingyu bowed to him again and Wan Louzhu returned the gift with a smile, then left.

When Lingyu followed Liu Rumeng and left Yueyingxuan, he didn't know that Lord Wan and a Confucian scholar in green were watching the two of them in the dark. The Confucian scholar in green said hesitantly: "Master Chen, Master Chen asked you to take care of Miss Lingyu. If you let her go, wouldn't you be offending Master Chen?" Master Wan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I asked you to take care of Miss Lingyu, and it's true. The noble fell in love with Miss Lingyu, but he just asked me to take care of her so that no one would take the opportunity to bully her. Now that she has been picked up by Liu Rumeng, it is in line with her wishes and will not go against Master Chen's wishes. All we need to do is send someone Just keep an eye on it. Besides, don’t forget that Song Yu is behind Liu Rumeng. Although there is some grudge between him and Mr. Chen, he still seems to have some affection. As long as we protect Miss Lingyu’s safety, we will There are only advantages and no disadvantages.”

When Lingyu walked into Liu Rumengxiang's boudoir, he saw a piece of writing hanging on the wall at a glance, but it was a drunken and wild calligraphy, and he was in high spirits, and his pen was like a dragon and a snake. Lingyu was also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The talented girl's eyes lit up when she saw that the word was well written, and she muttered in a low voice: "Yincheng is far away from the Qingjiang River. Tingzhou is full of green. You are on the Mulan boat. I am worried about the Shuangfeng Tower. What is the sound of the horn?" The moon was soaked in the snow on the creek bridge. I leaned against the balcony and watched alone. The wind fluttered and my sleeves were cold. (Note 2)" The next paragraph was "Yanbo Sanren", and I couldn't help but say: "What a desolate word. Yanbo Sanren must be the one beside my sister. Mr. Song’s nickname, why can’t he be seen?”

Hearing this, Liu Rumeng smiled and said: "How could a seven-foot man like him stay in the gentle countryside for a long time? A few days ago, he resigned from his position as a violinist and left Jianye." Although his words were indifferent, she only saw her With a slight frown on her eyebrows and a sad look on her face, Lingyu knew in her heart that the rumors about Qinhuai were not false. Liu Rumeng was indeed in love with Mr. Song Yusong. Mr. Song had stayed by Liu Rumeng's side for several years, and he obviously had feelings for her. It’s just that for some reason, the phoenix flutters and the luan is parked, and the middle path is well behaved. The more he wanted to persuade him, the more he thought of the Fourth Young Master for no reason, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He couldn't help but secretly pray: "A weak girl knows she is humble and dare not ask for anything extravagantly. If she could meet the Fourth Young Master again and learn piano from him, it would cost her her whole life." Fushou will not regret it either.”
