burning nations

Chapter 71

Having had the experience of fighting Tan Yang, Zhang Cai’s contempt in her heart decreased a lot. After returning home, she found the "On Tactics" that Duan Jiong handed to her from the package, swept away the light dust, and read it carefully, like reading a diary , Turning page after page like watching a story.

When Ye Lixiao went back to his room to sleep at night, he saw that the light in Zhang Cai's room was still on, he opened the door and walked in, still studying hard.

"What are you so fascinated by?" Ye Lixiao asked curiously.

Zhang Cai raised his head when he heard the sound, and lowered his head again when he saw Ye Lixiao: "It's "On Tactics", the book that Teacher Duan Jiong gave me last time."

"The book that Teacher Duan gave you, pay attention to rest."

"Well, I know. Do you want to see the yellow hair?" Zhang Cai asked.

Ye Lixiao hesitated, "Can I watch?"

"What's wrong with this? Anyway, it's mine now. If you want to see it, I'll lend it to you, but remember to return it to me and don't give it to others."

"No, no, take your time." Ye Lixiao waved his hands, as if thinking of something, he took out a package of things wrapped in oiled paper from his pocket.

Zhang Cai took it and asked curiously: "Huangmao, what is this?"

"The cheese from home is just a snack. It was sent during the Spring Festival. Try it." After Ye Lixiao finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Cai with complicated eyes, as if he had a thousand words, but his throat was blocked in the eyes.

Zhang Cai noticed Ye Lixiao's unnaturalness, she was very strange, and asked with concern: "Huang Mao, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? You look so bad."

"Yaya." Ye Lixiao seemed to muster up the courage to speak, but facing Zhang Cai's crystal clear pearl-like eyes, Ye Lixiao's courage was greatly shocked again, "Go to bed early, good night."

After speaking, Ye Lixiao quickly left the room and closed the door behind his back.

The prairie boy looked up to the sky and sighed, and went back to the house to rest lonely.

As for Zhang Cai in the room, he just felt inexplicable for a while, and didn't want to continue reading.
After that, Ye Lixiao didn't do anything weird, that is, he treated Zhang Cai better and more gently than before.Zhang Cai didn't think much about it. The relationship between her and Ye Lixiao was already too close, and there is nothing wrong with getting closer. After all, the distance between minus 10 and minus 12 can't be distinguished, so she didn't take it to heart and continued to enjoy Ye Lixiao's love and care.

And this love continued until February 41, 2, when school started.

Ye Lixiao had to part with Zhang Cai, and went back to dormitory 144 to stay with Tan Yang and Lin Yang all day long. Tan Yang, who is so smart, soon noticed that something was wrong with Ye Lixiao!
"Old Xiao, do you have something to hide?" Tan Yang asked carefully.

Ye Lixiao was startled when he heard this, but did not answer whether or not.Perhaps because he was facing Tan Yang, Ye Lixiao had more courage. He gritted his teeth and took out the letter from his family during the Spring Festival this year.

After getting Ye Lixiao's consent, Tan Yang checked it out. After reading it carefully, his complexion changed drastically!
"Old Xiao"

Tan Yang's eyes were full of reluctance.

----------

On the other side, after getting rid of Ye Lixiao's lingering feelings, Zhang Cai suddenly felt a little empty. She practiced swords in the courtyard to settle things down, stabilize her mind, and then get down to business.

With Ye Lixiao not around, Zhang Cai naturally went to Qingshanlou to ask Yang Xiong for advice on marksmanship.

But to go to brothels and kilns, Zhang Cai must make up, all preparations are complete, first leave the military academy, go out of the city to a secluded place to put on makeup, and Zhang Cai will finish her makeup later.I saw that the girl who was once an alluring country is now a sallow complexion, with moles on the side cheeks, and a long beard on her mouth, wearing a silk robe, a square scarf on her head, and a lively scholar with a folding fan in her hand. .If they can have the aristocratic spirit of the children of upper-level nobles like Tan Yang and Lin Yang, they will be the second generation of noble officials.

After all, this is not the first time I have pretended. Li Ying and Sun Li didn't see it last time. He Xiang didn't even know that Zhang Cai was a woman until his death. Therefore, Zhang Cai returned to the city confidently and went straight to Qingshanlou .

Entering the kiln, Zhang Cai was almost choked by a strong smell of rouge and water powder. He suppressed his cough and walked in, immediately asking the waiter to come over with a smile.

"Hello guest officer, guest officer looks at the face, I don't know whether to eat flower wine or stay overnight?"

Zhang Cai pretended to be flabbergasted and said in a hoarse voice, "I came here at the invitation of Hongnong Yang Xiong Yang Bocheng. Where is he? Take me to see him!"

The clerk was stunned for a moment: "Guest officer, are you looking for a big customer of our shop?"

"What? Isn't Yang Bocheng here? You're kidding me!" Zhang Cai gave the waiter a sideways look.

The man hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, wait a moment, sir, just a moment."

After the man finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

Zhang Cai had no choice but to stand still and wait stupidly. At the same time, she was very curious about what the brothel looked like, so she squinted her eyes and looked around.

It was daytime right now, but the inside of the brothel was dim, and the warm red tone reflected that everyone's faces were abnormally rosy.Qingshan Building is 5 stories high, 3 enters the courtyard, and the 1 enters the courtyard where Zhang Cai is now. There is not only the smell of rouge and gouache, but also the smell of alcohol. They are all here to drink flower wine, and the environment is noisy. It hurts.It's normal, there are always people with bad drinking and morality, and the three-pound horse urinates, wishing to pull the Emperor of Heaven off the horse and sit on it by himself.In addition to these, Zhang Cai also saw. The key point is that there is a table of guests who are drinking right next to Zhang Cai.
It's really the so-called mediocre sound that fills the ears, but it's hard to listen to it and watch it.
At this moment, Zhang Cai remembered that in the forest of Xiangzhou that night, he had fallen under the scent of the confuse.
Quickly looking away, at this moment the old bustard of Qingshanlou walked over with seductive steps step by step.

"This guest officer, are you looking for guest officer Yang Xiong?"

I don't know how much the old bustard powdered, and he choked Zhang Cai again.

"Yes, I'm here to look for Yang Xiong."

"Dare to ask the guest officer your name?" The old bustard looked Zhang Cai up and down, showing a faint smile.

Women know women best.

Zhang Cai didn't know yet, and said in a rough voice, "My name is Zhang Qi."

"Good Mr. Zhang, please follow me."

Immediately, the bustard led Zhang Cai to the yard, and walked into the second courtyard, which was a row of small houses.
When they came to the gate of the 3rd entrance, there were very elite and strong guards immediately stopped him, and the old bustard left directly, leaving Zhang Cai where he was.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for a man with a pale face and dark eyes to lead Zhang Cai into the No. 3 Hospital, and talked to Zhang Cai while walking.

"Do you still know me?"

"Your Excellency is"

"Miss Zhang Cai, I'm Yang Song." Yang Song gave a terrible smile, "You are such a noble person who forgets things too much. I really admire the girl for being able to find this place. People who visit brothels as a woman have been here for thousands of years. It's just you, girl."

Later, the two came to a big house.

"The master is inside, please come in, miss." Yang Song said, "I have something important to do, so I won't accompany you."

After finishing speaking, leave directly.

There was no one there, so Zhang Cai had no choice but to go forward and open the door, and then another door came into view, one by one, the voice Zhang Cai heard became more and more clear.
