Xian Xian

As the days pass every day, New Year’s Eve is approaching, and the New Year’s atmosphere in Dongdu is also high. At sunset, the wind is blowing, and the air smells of cooking smoke, and it's time to disperse again.

Soon? It's going to be a holiday. The other departments of the imperial city have nothing to do. They all started to paddle the water, and many prime ministers just stopped coming. In the peaceful atmosphere of waiting for the holidays, the town monster division was too busy to fit in.

Li Chaoge checked for two days, thinking about it, and still felt that the Western Region dancer in Fenglailou was the most suspicious.

According to the information Bai Qianhe inquired, Lou Sheng, or An Jun, she is the child of Hu Ji and the Han people, so for no reason, why did she want it? Packed as a dancer of the Western Regions?

Who inspired her?

Li Chaoge called Bai Qianhe over and asked, "Last time we went to Fenglailou, where the old bustard said, Lou Sheng will make his debut in three days?"

Bai Qianhe nodded: "Yes? Wrong, it's tonight?"

After Bai Qianhe finished speaking, seeing Li Chaoge's thoughtful look, he asked: "Commander, what do you want to do?"

Li Chaoge groaned and shook his head slightly: "Nothing? Nothing. Nothing? Your business is up. You can arrange the news and the map, and you can go to the office."

Bai Qianhe looked at Li Chaoge for a while, and seemed to understand something. Bai Qianhe didn't have anything? Said, shrugged and left.

Soon, the imperial city became lively, major institutions scattered, and officials went out in groups. Following this, the restaurants, restaurants and brothels in the city also ushered in the most prosperous time in the sky.

Fenglailou old bustard greeted the guests happily at the front door. Today, Fenglailou is undoubtedly the star of Beili, and the whole street is here? The hottest. There was a lot of traffic at the front door, and at the back door where no one was shutting down, a maid lowered her head and walked quickly into the building.

Li Chaoge found a maid in Fenglai Building to serve, avoiding the crowd all the way, and approaching Lou Sheng's residence. The town’s demon divisions searched Fenglailou. Fenglailou’s old bustard and servants recognized them, so Li Chaoge didn’t bring anyone else this time, but came to Fenglailou alone to explore the way.

She is so light that she sneaks in and is not easy to be spotted. Li Chaoge would like it? Look at what tricks Feng Lailou is playing.

She walked halfway through, and suddenly came a team of maidservants from the other side. Li Chaoge hid in the corner silently, lowering his head to cover his face. The headed maid saw her, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Li Chaoge lowered his voice and said, "Mother Zheng asked me to pass a message to the girl."

"When is it all, what are you talking about?" The maid rudely stuffed a plate into the singer Li Chao, and said, "Today is Miss Lou Sheng's big day, where are other girls' affairs? Leave everything alone. There are people, hurry up to deliver wine to the guests, if it is delayed by Lou Sheng girl's dance, let's see if your mother doesn't break your legs!"

Li Chaoge lowered his head and said nothing, holding the end plate and following at the end of the team. Although the maid thought this maid looked weird, there were too many guests in Fenglailou today. Soon there were other people called maid. The maid responded and forgot about that.

Li Chaoge followed the wine delivery maid to the core of the building to Xiangfeng, because there was a team to cover up, no one had doubts about Li Chaoge's identity along the way. When he reached the fork in the road, Li Chaoge looked left and right, flashed silently to the pillar, and left the line.

She put the hip flask in a place that was not easy to find, and walked quickly to Lou Sheng's residence. Li Chaoge avoided several clusters of people, pushed the door, and slipped into the house through the back door lightly.

The last time he came to Lousheng to search, Li Chaoge was optimistic about the terrain. Li Chaoge fell silent, and the room was quiet, with curtains hanging around it, as if Lou Sheng was not there.

Li Chaoge unknowingly clenched the dagger, and walked quietly into the house. There is really no one in the room. When Li Chaoge passed by the glass curtain, he was attracted by the paintings inside.

Li Chaoge couldn't help but lifted the bead curtain and walked slowly to the side of the painting, staring at the painting carefully. The brushwork of this painting is very delicate. A graceful and elegant woman is standing beside the flowers, holding a branch of flowers in her hand, and a hairpin with plump and gorgeous peony on her head. She was wearing a pomegranate dress with a thin, large-sleeved shirt and a goose-yellow drape between her arms. Li Chaoge glanced across the picture scroll, and finally landed on the red line of the woman's right wrist in the picture.

Last time Li Chaoge thought this red thread was strange. Although she doesn't know how to paint, as a princess, she has met many literati and inkmen, and she still has the basic appreciation of paintings. The woman in the painting looks like a lady in her dress, but the red thread on her hand is very strange. If it is a lady, why don’t she wear jewelry such as armbands and jade bracelets, but wear red threads?

After the red thread was connected into a bracelet, it did not seem to be cut off, and the end was looming, as if a thread had flowed into the clothes. Li Chaoge carefully stared at the sleeves of the woman in the painting. Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the curtain beside him swelled up like a sail. The knife in Li Chaoge's sleeve immediately came out of its sheath and turned and attacked behind him.

A cold light flashed, and the curtain was cut in two, slowly falling down. The gray-brown veil fell, and the appearance of the person behind it also appeared. Li Chaoge was slightly surprised when he saw the other party: "Why are you?"

Gu Mingke's folding fan blocked Li Chaoge's dagger. He was about to speak when he heard footsteps outside. Without a word, Gu Mingke grabbed Li Chaoge's shoulder one step at a time, and then turned to hide in the gap between the cabinet and the wall.

There was a long reachable curtain hanging from the cabinet, and Gu Mingke pulled all the curtains. Before Li Chaoge could react, he was stuffed into the gap. Gu Mingke stood in front of her, the two of them were very close. This distance is a little beyond Li Chaoge's safety distance. She wants to remind Gu Mingke that she can hide on the beam. However, when Li Chaoge was about to speak, Gu Mingke pressed his lips.

Gu Mingke's index finger lightly pressed on Li Chaoge's lips, and said with a breath of voice: "Be quiet."

As soon as his voice fell, the door outside was pushed open.

In this way, Li Chaoge just wanted to change places and couldn't. She can only stick to the wall as much as possible, trying to ignore the touch on her lips.

Gu Mingke has long fingers, but his fingertips are cold. I don't know whether his natural body temperature is low or the temperature is too cold outside. In short, it doesn't look like a normal person's body temperature. And at such a close distance, Li Chaoge inevitably smelled his body, not the spices, but the cold fragrance.

It is a bit like the breeze in the mountains when the window is opened in the morning, and it is also a bit like the cold air blowing from the snow on a moonlit night, it is a pure and pure taste. Li Chaoge suddenly remembered that immortals do not eat grains but eat with aura. Could it be that this is the taste of aura?

While Li Chaoge was thinking about it, there was a sound of mixed footsteps outside, and the door creaked and was closed. There are two people listening to the footsteps, one of them is heavier and the other is lighter. The heavier footsteps are talking, and the voice is the old one? Bustard: "Are you ready? The guests outside are all here, I? Give you such a big place, can't you let me? Ashamed."

"I know." Another voice was Lou Sheng, "I've been preparing for a long time, mother, don't worry."

The old bustard will be suspicious: "Really?"

"Really." Lou Sheng said, "I'm going to be ready to play, Mom, you can go to the front to watch the stage."

The old bustard's footsteps walked out, and said, "I'm going, you want to hurry up." Lou Sheng responded. There was a sound of opening and closing, and soon there was only one person left in the room, Lou Sheng.

To be precise, it was Lou Sheng, as well as Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke in hiding.

Lou Sheng walked into the compartment with the clash of colored glaze beads. Li Chaoge tensed up in the crevice of the cabinet, unknowingly put his hand on the dagger. She was nervous, putting a slightly cool hand on the back of her hand, beckoning her to stay calm.

Li Chaoge glanced at Gu Mingke. The two were close at hand, breathing and hearing each other. Li Chaoge relaxed his breath as much as possible and looked outside through the looming gap in the curtain.

Outside the curtain, Lou Sheng unwrapped the kit tied around his waist, and took out a night pearl from the inside. Li Chaoge remembered this bead. During the last search, Lou Sheng said it was given to her by a benefactor.

Ye Mingzhu is shining brightly in the light, and it really deserves the name of Ye Mingzhu. Li Chaoge realized that the fingertips that Gu Mingke was pressing on the back of her hand moved. Li Chaoge knew it, raised his head and said silently to him, "Are you for this pearl?"

Gu Mingke was very calm and motioned her not to move. Outside, Lou Sheng knew nothing about the movement behind the curtain. She stood in front of the hairpin picture, pulled out a red rope from the scroll, and carefully tied a knot in her hand. Hold the pearl, pray in a low voice, and gently shake the night pearl on the hairpin picture.

Strange things happened, and the woman on the hairpin picture gradually moved, slowly drifted off the paper, and became a living person. At this time, where is there any hairpin lady in the picture, there is only one? A solitary cluster of flowers.

Li Chaoge's eyes widened in surprise and stared at the outside.

At this moment, Lou Sheng didn't know that her secret had been completely seen by the other two. The women's clothes and jewelry floating down from the painting are as painted on the painting, and there is really a red thread tied to the wrist, which is directly connected to Lou Sheng's wrist. Li Chaoge suddenly understood. No wonder Lou Sheng just wanted to tie a knot on his wrist with a red thread. It seems that Li Chaoge’s guess is correct. The woman in the picture is indeed tied by the red thread, and the end is hidden under the clothes. It stretched straight out of the drawing paper and was pressed by Lou Sheng in the scroll. Lou Sheng first tied the red line before daring to let the person in the painting come out.

Most of the people in this painting are Feitian who escaped. For some reason, they were found and trapped by Lou Sheng. It seems that Lou Sheng still mastered the method of manipulating Feitian. Lou Sheng shook the red line on his wrist and said, "You can't escape. According to our previous agreement, you help me dance this dance, and I will let you free."

The curtains shook lightly, and the shadows of Lou Sheng and Feitian were looming outside. Li Chaoge wanted to see the whole picture of Feitian, and couldn't help but straighten up his upper body, trying to see Feitian's face from the gap. She was all thinking about flying in the sky, and she accidentally hit something on her forehead.

Li Chaoge looked up and found that he was already very close to Gu Mingke. Her forehead just hit Gu Mingke's chin. When Li Chaoge first came in, Li Chaoge tried his best to stick to the wall. It was Gu Mingke who pressed the corner of her lips. Now the situation is completely reversed. Gu Mingke has been forced to the closet wall by Li Chaoge. He squeezed forward and even hit Gu Mingke's chin.

There was a muffled sound when the two people collided, and Li Chaoge showed a look of sorry. Gu Mingke gave her a helpless look, motioning for her to be quiet, and don't alarm the two people outside. Fortunately, Lou Sheng Yixin talked to Feitian, but he didn't notice other noises in the room. Lou Sheng gave Feitian the precautions for dancing tonight, fearing that Feitian would not understand, he also specially reminded: "Once you will be on the stage, you will wear a veil. Don't even say anything? Say, no matter who asks questions. Make a sound. After you finish dancing, don’t delay, go straight to the back of the stage, I’ll be there waiting for you.”

Feitian nodded slightly, it seemed that he could be manipulated, and he was very well-behaved and harmless. Lou Sheng was relieved, took Feitian to the closet, and said, "Come on and change clothes. Mama Zheng is waiting in front? I'm in a hurry."

Lou Sheng pulled Feitian straight to where Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke were hiding, Li Chaoge's back straightened instantly. Gu Mingke held her hand and motioned to her to wait. Lou Sheng didn't seem to find someone in the gap between the cabinet and the wall. She quickly opened the closet and took out a set of clothes exactly the same as her own. To Feitian: "Hurry up and put on your clothes, I'm running out of time."

Gu Mingke had been very calm since he came in, and he was obviously stunned when he heard Lou Sheng's words. Li Chaoge's eyes were round, and he stretched out his other hand, which was empty, and immediately wanted to cover Gu Mingke's eyes. Gu Mingke was forced to hold Li Chaoge's hand and said helplessly, "Don't move."

Li Chaoge also stared angrily and opened his mouth to signal: "Close your eyes!"

Gu Mingke closed his eyes and at the same time blocked his hearing. Although Li Chaoge is a woman, she has a habit of peeking at other women changing clothes. She has nowhere to look, so she can only stare at Gu Mingke's face.

Since Li Chaoge's impression, Gu Mingke has always been calm, calm, and unhurried. This is the first time he has shown embarrassment. Li Chaoge stared at Gu Mingke and found that his bones were smooth, his neck was slender, his skin was fair and clear, and he couldn't see the slightest impurities. He was really beautiful. He closed his eyes, and the indifference in his eyes was covered up, which made him look much softer, and he felt a sense of innocence.

Li Chaoge herself thought she was crazy, she would think that Gu Mingke was pure and innocent. Li Chaoge focused on Gu Mingke, trying to ignore the sound of changing clothes in his ears. I don't know if it is an illusion, Li Chaoge always feels that Gu Mingke's ears are red.

Li Chaoge was quite incredible, she thought it was impossible, she thought secretly, it should be the light cause?

At this time, an inquiring voice came from outside the house. Lou Sheng hurriedly responded, put a veil on Feitian, and pulled her to the door: "Remember, after you leave this door, don't talk anymore. No matter what others ask you, don’t you? Pay attention."

Lou Sheng wanted to help him dance to fame without exposing Feitian, so he could only design a tall, cold and mysterious image of a dancer from the Western Regions, so that Feitian would not speak or pay attention to others. When Fei Tian finished the dance, the person who came out turned into Lou Sheng, who naturally wanted to say anything.

Feitian nodded slightly. Lou Sheng hid behind the door, watching Feitian wearing the same clothes as her, leaving the door alone. People outside saw a veiled person coming out of Lou Sheng’s house, and they complained: "Sister Lou, your shelf is too big. Please ask three or four to invite you out. Come on? Well, all the guests are waiting for you."

Feitian Guozhen didn't say a word, and was surrounded by everyone to leave. After everyone had gone far, Lou Sheng stood up quietly, hid the hairpin flower picture in his sleeve, surrounded by a black cloak, and quickly walked to the underpass behind the stage.

Lou Sheng and Feitian are gone, and only Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke are left in the room. Li Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned back against the wall. After a while, she found Gu Mingke motionless. Li Chaoge was surprised for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Gu Mingke closed his eyes and seemed to have closed his hearing. Naturally, he didn't know that the two had already left. Li Chaoge was so free, staring at him and admiring him for a long time. After making sure that he was a little bit unaware of the movement of the outside world, he endured amusement and shook his arm: "Okay, they're gone."

Gu Mingke opened his eyes, calmly and calmly let go of Li Chaoge's hand, his figure flashed out from the gap. Li Chaoge didn't seem to see through Gu Mingke's embarrassment just now. He slowly lifted the curtains, walked into the room, and looked at the surrounding furnishings: "Gu Shaoqing, what a coincidence."

Although Li Chaoge was funny, he also felt rare in his heart. Which man is not lustful, and is still one? A pretty handsome man in the picture undresses in front of him, and it is estimated that it is difficult for a man to resist peeking. But Gu Mingke really closed his eyes and closed his hearing. Obviously no one can check him, but he can strictly do not listen to and see no evil.

This self-control is comparable to a rare animal.

Gu Mingke ran the Pure Heart Secret Art, suppressed the embarrassment, and after regaining his former calmness, he turned around calmly and said, "Is the princess here?"

Li Chaoge tried his best to control himself, so that he wouldn't laugh out anyhow, "I? Come here? Investigate the case."

"Me? Also investigating the case."

When Gu Mingke spoke, his face was high and cold, and his justice was awe-inspiring. Li Chaoge thought of the scene just now, chuckled, and quickly held back, and said: "I, naturally, believe in Gu Shaoqing. With Shaoqing's character, I shouldn't be able to visit such fireworks places. Shaoqing Check it slowly, I? Go chasing people."

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Gu Mingke's reaction. Gu Mingke's purpose is Ye Mingzhu, while Li Chaoge's purpose is to fly into the sky. Now that Lou Sheng and Feitian are outside, of course Li Chaoge has to catch up with him, take a good look and understand.

Li Chaoge walked quickly to the stage. There is no need to identify the location at this moment, the most noisy place is the stage. Li Chaoge walked a few steps, and suddenly came to the old bustard on the opposite side of the corridor. Li Chaoge felt cold, and it was too late to hide at this time. Li Chaoge could only take a step back, leaning against the door and window, lowering his head to cover his face.

The old bustard has met Li Chaoge himself, and Li Chaoge is not sure if he can fool the old bustard. The old bustard was carrying a little girl behind her. She was going to go to Lou Sheng's house, but the old bustard was walking on the corridor, and intuitively felt that the maid in front was not right.

The old bustard has been rolling in the wind and moon field for more than 20 years, and his eyes have already cultivated very old, so he is especially accurate when looking at women. This woman's tall figure, slender legs, beautiful figure, and the chin line that appeared when she lowered her head always gave the old bustard an extremely familiar feeling.

It seemed that she had only seen this woman not long ago.

The old bustard slowly approached Li Chaoge, looked at her vigilantly, and asked, "Who are you? Standing here? What are you doing?"

Li Chaoge lowered his head, did not respond, his body has quietly tightened. Judging from the appearance of the old bustard, he was suspicious. Most of Li Chaoge couldn't get through, so he could only force it.

Seeing that Li Chaoge didn't answer, the old bustard was even more suspicious. The old bustard pressed harder at each step and asked sharply, "Who are you anyway? Lift your head."

Li Chaoge's arms were tight, and when she was about to start her hands, there was a sudden sound of unhurried footsteps behind her. Then, a burst of fragrance hits, and Gu Mingke stepped into the corridor calmly. The old bustard? Seeing Gu Mingke, he suddenly changed his smile and said with a smile: "Master Gu! Why are you here, Master Gu?"

"It's boring in the box, just come out? Come and go? Go?" Then, Gu Mingke glanced at Li Chaoge lightly, and said, "What are you doing in a daze, don't come here soon."

The old bust was stunned, and then reacted, and said with an ambiguous smile: "It turns out that this is the girl ordered by Master Gu. Master Gu said it was the case. The Nujia almost misunderstood it just now."

As she said, she looked at Li Chaoge and said in a more serious tone: "Don't hurry up and serve Master Gu! You will take care of it soon, don't you want to disappoint Master Gu."

Gu Mingke was still high and cold, and behaved like a breeze and bright moon without dust, but he did not have any excuses when facing the old bustard, and silently acquiesced. Li Chaoge lowered his head, and passed by the old bustard under the cover of Gu Mingke's figure.

Some distance away, Li Chaoge heard the old bustard say to the maid behind him: "You see, men are like that. They look noble and clean, they look like gods, and they will visit brothels in private. I heard that he is still a high-ranking official of Dali Temple."

"Mom, who is the woman that Master Gu ordered? Me? I don't seem to have seen it."

"I don't know. People with indifferent appearances like this are generally depressed in their hearts. Who knows what they like. Maybe, Master Gu is just like this."

"..."

Li Chaoge smiled lightly, raised his eyes, and looked at him with a smile but a smile: "Master Gu, the brothel box? Some tricks? I really can't see it? Come on, how did you ruin the reputation of Dali Temple outside?"

Gu Mingke sighed softly: "The situation is compelling, in order not to arouse people's suspicion, it can only be so."

Li Chaoge sneered coldly: "I'm in vain? I just praised you just now. I don't think you can visit the place of fireworks because of your character. It seems that I have misunderstood. Oh, man."

Gu Mingke was helpless. Obviously he was trying to track down the lost exhibits, but Li Chaoge was not forgiving. Gu Mingke just rescued her, and she is now mocking her benefactor. Little? No? Conscience.

Gu Mingke led the way, and soon the box arrived. Gu Mingke motioned: "It's in the second room ahead."

As she was about to approach, the door of the next box suddenly opened, and Gu Mingke quickly grabbed Li Chaoge with his eyes and hands, and pushed her behind him. He Lanqing was also taken aback by the people outside. He looked up and saw that it was Gu Mingke. He was quite surprised: "Gu Shaoqing?"

Gu Mingke nodded slightly, always hiding Li Chaoge behind him: "Is it me?."

He Lanqing didn't actually? Pay attention to the women, but Gu Mingke's obvious protective action made He Lanqing care. He Lanqing glanced behind her eyes, only to see the woman's dark hair top and Bai Xue's skin. Gu Mingke noticed He Lanqing's movements, stretched his sleeves to cover Li Chaoge, and said, "I? I still have something to do, I won't be with you. Goodbye."

Gu Mingke took Li Chaoge away without waiting for He Lanqing's answer. His body always blocked the sight behind him. When he arrived in the second box, Gu Mingke pushed the door, wrapped her sleeves around the woman in his arms, and sent her into the box.

From beginning to end, did He Lanqing? Have seen the woman's appearance.

He Lanqing curled her lips curiously, his eyes brightened because of excitement. Interesting, now he is more curious, who is the woman protected by Gu Mingke like this?

Gu Mingke was afraid that Li Chaoge would be seen? Now that the brothel ruined her reputation, Li Chaoge didn't care much. She went into the box and looked around. She smiled and said without a smile: "Gu Shaoqing, you are in the brothel, you are really like a fish in water."

Look at the quick response just now, the one-stop action, have you done it many times? Li Chaoge stared at Gu Mingke with piercing eyes. Gu Mingke didn't bother to pay attention to the white-eyed wolf who would avenge his revenge. He walked to the box, lowered the curtain completely, and said, "Whatever you want. Mind? Be mindful, don't be seen."

Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, I'm afraid of being seen with me? I'm out of the brothel now. I can't explain it clearly after I leave?"

Really ignorant of good people, Gu Mingke was clearly afraid that her reputation would be damaged. Gu Mingke drew the curtains, sat down without hurries, and said lightly, "You are not afraid, what am I afraid of?"

Li Chaoge was caught off guard by these words. She felt that the meaning here seemed a bit strange, but before she thought about it, there was a sudden sound of music and humming outside.

Li Chaoge raised his head and saw a woman standing on the stage, posing in a dancing pose, and the performance was about to begin.
