Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 60 Painting the Wall ([-])

After entering the main hall, a group of people took their seats one after another.

Soon, a maid served drinks, fruits, pastries and so on.

The palace lord smiled and raised his wine glass: "My lords, please!"

"Palace master please!"

A group of people picked up their glasses and drank it down.

"Good wine!"

After drinking, Zhou Yu couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart.

"My lord, this is the Baihua Niang brewed by our Baihua Valley. You don't have to be polite, just drink it to your heart's content."

"Thank you, Palace Master, for your kindness!"

After drinking for a while, the palace lord clapped his hands, and there were more than a dozen women in palace dresses filing out, playing the piano, singing softly, or dancing gracefully.

With fine wine in your throat and beautiful women in your sleeves, it can be said that if the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk, and if the flowers are not charming, people will be intoxicated.

When the drink was almost finished, the palace lord stood up and stroked his forehead: "I'm really sorry, my palace lord is too weak to drink, so I will go back to my room to rest first, gentlemen, please go your own way..."

Then he said to a group of women: "You have to take good care of the young masters, and don't be negligent."

"Yes!"

As soon as the palace lord left, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively.

Before, all the women in the valley were quite reserved, but now they gathered around one after another, causing Zhou Yu and his party to fall into a rouge array instantly...

"Come on~"

"My lord, I'll feed you..."

"Hee hee, young master, are you good or bad..."

At this time, Zhou Yu couldn't sit still.

It's not that he's pretending to be prudish, the key is that several students are also present, how can he let go?

Wouldn't that be detrimental to Mr. Majesty's majesty?

Therefore, he left the hall on the pretext of urinating and blowing the cold wind outside alone.

When he walked outside a small courtyard, he suddenly heard a burst of weeping and a woman's comforting voice from inside.

Out of curiosity for a moment, Zhou Yu couldn't help coughing dryly, and then walked in.

It just so happens that this place is clean, so I can inquire about Baihua Valley.

His coughing startled the two women in the yard, they couldn't help but stood up and looked over.

"So it's Young Master Zhou..."

Seeing the person coming, Cuizhu couldn't help smiling and came forward to greet him with a blessing.

Another woman was wearing a long purple dress, and while wiping her tears, she stepped forward and gave a blessing: "Little girl Yunmei, I have met Mr. Zhou."

"Yunmei..."

At this moment, Zhou Yu looked a little surprised.

Because, he knew this woman... To be precise, he was familiar with this face, this name, and this character.

It is almost the same as Yunmei in the movie "Painted Wall" that I saw in my previous life.

But, except for her, everything in Baihua Valley, including the disciples in the valley, is not quite the same as in the movie.

"What's the matter, Young Master Zhou?"

"It's nothing... By the way, I heard the girl crying through this courtyard, so I rushed in rashly. I hope the two girls will forgive me."

Cui Zhu smiled and said: "Young master Zhou speaks seriously, and the palace master has specially told you that all the young masters are distinguished guests of Baihua Valley, and all disciples must treat them warmly without any neglect."

Yunmei said softly: "Sir, please sit down, Yunmei will make you a cup of tea."

"You Lao girl."

When it was time for Yunmei to make tea, Cuizhu hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help whispering: "Please, Mr. Zhou, please persuade Yunmei, Cuizhu will leave first."

"Hey, green bamboo girl..."

After a while, Yunmei came over with tea, seeing that Cuizhu was not there, she didn't ask any more questions, but put the tea in front of Zhou Yu.

"Sir, please have some tea."

"Thank you..." Zhou Yu took a sip of tea, and then said, "I would like to ask, why is the girl so sad?"

When she asked, Yunmei's tears couldn't stop flowing down again.

"I'm sorry, I made you laugh..."

Yunmei raised her hand to wipe her tears, and after she calmed down for a while, she replied: "Yunmei's life is not good, she won the dowry lottery."

"Marriage sign? What does the girl mean?"

Yunmei sighed softly: "It's a long story... the young master came in from the outside, so he may not be very clear about the situation here.

Baihua Valley seems to be peaceful and peaceful, but it is actually full of crises.

The resources in the valley are limited, so we sisters need to go out in turns to find all kinds of daily life and cultivation.

It’s relatively safe in the valley, but it’s hard to tell when you go outside, and you may encounter a terrible monster…”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but asked, "Is the monster the girl mentioned has the head of an eagle?"

"Yes!" Yunmei nodded, and then she looked surprised: "Could it be that the young master has met him before?"

"We saw one when we first came in. Fortunately, seeing that there were too many of us, that guy turned around and ran away."

Yunmei said happily: "Then you are lucky, you only met little monsters, if you meet monsters wearing gold armor or even black armor, you will be in big trouble."

"Oh? The monsters here are divided into levels?"

"Yes, those in civilian clothes are usually mobs, and they don't pose a great threat to us, and we can barely deal with them.

The strength of the golden-armored monster is much stronger, and most of the sisters are not opponents.

If you encounter a black-armored monster... Basically, there is no way out. "

"Then don't you Palace Master care? Her strength should be able to deal with the black-armored monster, right?"

Yunmei smiled wryly and nodded, then shook her head: "The Palace Master's strength is naturally unfathomable, and it's easy to deal with the black-armored monster.

The problem is that those monsters also have a head, called King Eagle.

Even the palace lord is afraid of this Eagle King, so she won't make a move.Once she makes a move, the Eagle King will also make a move..."

Now Zhou Yu roughly understood: "So, there is a tacit understanding between your palace master and the Eagle King, to check and balance each other?"

"It's almost...an agreement was reached between the palace lord and the Eagle King. Those monsters can only move outside and cannot step into the Valley of Hundred Flowers.

But in exchange, Baihua Valley needs to select two disciples every year to give to the Eagle King as concubines..."

Zhou Yu finally knew why Yunmei was sad.

"It turns out that the dowry lottery that the girl mentioned is that you unfortunately won the lottery, and you are going to be the concubine of the Eagle King?"

"Yes..." Yunmei began to sob again: "According to the sisters in the valley, the Eagle King is cruel by nature, and almost none of the sisters who serve as concubines are alive."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but angrily said: "It's such a thing? Since you know it, I believe the palace master knows it too, so she really allows the Eagle King to bully her?"

"My lord, I understand your feelings, but Yunmei doesn't blame the Palace Master...

If you don't obey the Eagle King, it will bring people to make trouble in Baihua Valley, and more sisters will die at that time. "

Seeing Yunmei's pitiful appearance with pear blossoms and rain, Zhou Yu suddenly became proud:
"It's just a flat-haired beast, what is there to be afraid of? Miss Yunmei, don't worry, I'll go to the palace master tomorrow to discuss it, and work together to deal with those birdmen."

This is not Zhou Yu's impulsiveness, nor is it just a passion.

Five words: Yigao people are bold!
Another important point is that Zhou Yu knew that the group of them would not come here for no reason.

Perhaps, it is to solve this problem.

The problem is solved, maybe you can leave the wall painting world smoothly...

　Entrusted by people to recommend two books: "My Sword Thirst for Blood" and "Soul Painter", friends who have a shortage of books can read them.
