A knife in love

Chapter 1904

Li Qiufeng chatted with Murong Danyan, and before he knew it, he had walked more than two miles away.It's just that the surrounding situation still hasn't changed in the slightest. At a glance, there are deserted fields on both sides of the road, and the road under your feet stretches into the distance.The gray mist covered the sky and the earth, and there seemed to be a palpitating voice in the mist, circling around incessantly.

At this moment, Li Qiufeng suddenly heard a vague singing.Although the singing voice was as thin as a gossamer, it was clearly transmitted to his ears.Li Qiufeng stopped immediately and clenched the handle of the knife with his right hand.

Murong Danyan's face changed greatly, obviously he also heard the faint singing.She pulled out her long sword backhand and said, "How can anyone sing in such a desolate place?!"

Li Qiufeng listened attentively, but the singing came and went, so he couldn't hear it clearly.However, it can be heard that the singing is uttered by a woman, the tune is sad and lingering, and when it reaches the ears, it can't help but make the heart beat.

Li Qiufeng knew something was wrong, turned his head and said to Murong Danyan: "It's weird here, but it's not a bad thing for someone to show up at last. Since we found something, let's bring Brother Qi and Miss Wang over and search for places to sing. people."

Murong Danyan naturally had no objection.The two looked around for a while, and then returned along the original road.After walking about tens of feet, the singing sound disappeared.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were suspicious, and they didn't speak for a while.The two walked for more than half a mile, although they could no longer hear the singing, Murong Danyan was terrified in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, what is this, what is going on?"

Li Qiufeng looked around, shook his head, and said in his mouth: "I don't know what's going on. But this song is not a fisherman's folk song sung by a villager, but a brothel kabuki How can there be kabuki singing in such a desolate place? What's more, we can't see the singer at all when we look far away. Send the song to our ears."

Murong Danyan was stunned when he heard Li Qiufeng's words. He glanced at Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, have you ever been to a brothel?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Li is not good at this, and has never been to a brothel. However, when Jin Yiwei was on duty, he was invited by the Shangguan to drink in his mansion several times. Sometimes the Shangguan wanted to help the wine. , I invited the kabukis from brothels in the capital to sing. The songs sung by these kabukis are somewhat similar to the songs we heard just now."

Only then did Murong Danyan feel relieved, and said bitterly: "The brothel is a dirty place, Brother Li, don't go to that kind of place to have fun, otherwise you will be ridiculed by the heroes of the world!"

Li Qiufeng was startled, thinking that although brothels are not good places, they are not all dirty.There are a few brothels in the capital that are vegetarian restaurants, and kabuki perform but not sell themselves. Many literati and scholars will go to the brothels to sing with kabuki.Li is just a prodigal son, although he didn't go to the brothel to have fun, even if he went to drink and listen to music, how could the heroes of the world laugh at me?But Miss Murong naturally doesn't know about this matter, if I speak up to defend, I'm afraid she will look down on me.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "Li is an unknown junior, how dare you go to the brothel to spend time and drink? What's more, the teacher has always been strict with Li. If he knows that Li has misbehaved, I'm afraid he will punish him immediately. Punishment, ranging from abolishing Li's martial arts, to taking Li's life with a palm."

Murong Danyan sighed, and said: "Although my father is from the martial arts, he has a long history of contacts with the court. When many high-ranking officials in Nanzhili took office, they would invite my father to drink. I was invited by these officials to have a drink in the brothel. After my mother found out, she immediately took people to the brothel to fetch him. Once, she almost set a brothel on fire. My mother said that if a man visits a brothel, he should die. Absolutely I can't forgive you."

While talking, Murong Danyan tilted his head and stared at Li Qiufeng.Seeing that Li Qiufeng felt embarrassed, he could only cough twice, and said in his mouth: "How does Mrs. Murong know which brothel Mr. Murong eats at?"

As soon as Li Qiufeng said that, he immediately regretted it, thinking to himself that he was just trying to get rid of the embarrassment, so he asked casually.But this sentence is too disrespectful to Mrs. Murong and Mr. Murong, I'm afraid Miss Murong will be very angry.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was thinking about how to explain so as not to make Murong Danyan angry, but he heard Murong Danyan say: "Although my mother doesn't know martial arts, she still holds my father tightly. Dozens of maids and servants are my mother's confidantes. Whether my father is studying at home and practicing swords, or going out to find friends and handle errands, he can't escape my mother's eyes everywhere. My father is going to work in Hangzhou City. I'm afraid he hasn't After the matter is done, my mother is sitting at home and already knows the outcome of the matter."

Listening to Murong Danyan's words, Li Qiufeng thought it was a little funny at first, but the more he listened, the more frightened he became, thinking that Murong Qiushui has been powerful in martial arts for decades, and everyone in the world admires Murong Villa.Moreover, the imperial court has always attached great importance to the Murong family, and the government respects Murong Qiushui very much.But it was unexpected that the heroes of Murong Qiushui's generation were actually made into such an appearance by Mrs. Murong, and even going out to do errands was planned by Mrs. Murong.If things are really as Miss Murong said, what fun is there in being alive and being watched everywhere?

Seeing Li Qiufeng's strange expression, Murong Danyan guessed what was on his mind, so he sighed, and said: "Brother Li, I know you will not take my mother's actions seriously. My mother once said to me, The Murong family has been passed down to my father's generation, and it's not just the hundreds of people in Murong Villa who have to take care of them. From beyond the Great Wall in the north to the South China Sea in the south, there are countless people who can only live under the wings of the Murong family. My father's words and deeds , Every move is related to the wealth and lives of tens of thousands of people. If one is not careful, seemingly trivial matters may lead to catastrophe. There are two ways of black and white, the imperial court and local governments want to put the Murong family There are so many powerful people who have been wiped out. Although my father is skilled in martial arts and shrewd, there are too many people who secretly plot against him. My mother sent someone to stare at my father, not because of jealousy, but because she was afraid that someone would set him up I set a trap to kill him. A villain with a sharp sword is not terrible, but Wenxiang nephrite is a sharp weapon that kills people without blood."

When Li Qiufeng heard Murong Danyan say this, he suddenly realized, put away his contempt for Mrs. Murong, and admiration for this lady spontaneously arose.Murong Danyan went on to say: "My mother was originally a lady of the family. Before she left the court, my grandpa and grandma controlled her very strictly. After she married into Murong Villa, it was the time when my father was in high spirits. But my mother found that the Murong family was famous. Underneath, there are indeed long-term worries. Inside and outside the court, there are black and white, and there are hundreds of people who want to overthrow Murong Villa. My mother has no choice but to put aside her reserve for the sake of the safety of the Murong family, and help me while doing housework. Daddy takes care of things. If there is no good helper like my mother, I am afraid that my father would have been plotted against and suffered a great loss. Although the family will not be ruined, but it will definitely hurt the vitality."
