Chapter 156 A Woman Like a Camellia
Qi Ze looked at the plaque of Chenyue Tower for a while, then turned his head and saw the candy next to the small stall, waiting for the freshly baked glutinous rice cakes, so he planned to walk over there.

Looking at the tall figure not far away, the gangsters stared straight.The one in the back was shorter, as thin as a bamboo pole, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, his eyes glowed green when he looked at Qi Ze, he stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the leader of the gangster, and looked at the woman with squinting eyes.

"Brother, that little lady looks really good. How about we..." As he spoke, a very wretched smile appeared on his face.

The leader of the gangster waved the little gangster's hand away, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the other hand, and said angrily: "No matter how good the little lady is, I don't let you spoil it like this. Look at that little girl. The lady is so weak, why can't we be more polite? What if we scare her?"

"Yes, yes." The little gangster repeatedly said yes, "What the elder brother said is that we are gangsters, and we also know how to be sympathetic. Don't scare the little lady away."

"Hmph, why don't you come with me?" The gangster said triumphantly, turned his head to look at the little gangster with disdain and said, "Wipe your saliva and look at the picky man."

The little bastard quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, smiled and followed.

When the scholars on the ground saw that the gangsters were going to moles the girl, they stood up anxiously to stop them, but the slap just now was too hard.Not only was his face swollen, but his body also hit the ground with faint bruises, because his body was weak and he hadn't gotten up for a while.He could only stretch out his hand and helplessly watch those bastards go away.

Qi Ze was about to go to the candy, when he saw a thick arm blocking his way, he took a look and saw a rough man with a face full of flesh.At this time, the man had a smile on his face that he thought was kind, but his eyes were looking directly at her, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Little lady, you are the only one, why don't you play with your brothers." The gangster took the lead and was about to touch Qi Ze's shoulder, "Don't worry, the brothers are very gentle and will treat the little lady well." of."

Qi Ze slightly turned his body to avoid the dirty hand, took a step back, and said calmly, "I don't know you."

I felt empty with my hands, and the leader of the gangsters was not angry, but heard Qi Ze's slightly warm voice exclaiming: "Even the voice is so nice, it seems that the little lady is not only beautiful, but also has a voice like a kingfisher!" It sounds nice." Taking a step forward, he said, "Don't worry if you don't know each other, after you go back with the brothers, don't we know each other?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch it.

Qi Ze continued to take a step back, not looking at them, and calmly said: "I said I don't know you, and I won't follow you back. Please don't bother me anymore." After speaking, he turned around and left.

But the leader of the gangster walked around to stop him and said, "My brother likes you the most. My brother is also a caring person, and I never have the heart to hurt you beautiful ladies. It's okay if you don't want to go back with us, how about this, Let's go have a meal together and share our feelings along the way."

In the end, the obscene meaning in the words became more and more obvious, and at the same time, the hand was dishonestly ready to touch Qi Ze's.

Qi Ze didn't even look at him, so he took a step back, avoiding that greasy hand, his eyes outside the veil didn't show a trace of panic.

"I've already said that I won't go back with you, nor will I eat with you. So please get out of the way, you are blocking my way." Qi Ze's voice was still calm.

Looking at those quiet and indifferent eyes, one can't help but think that it's not her who was insulted by words.It is very different from the panicked appearance of ordinary women, and the calmness is surprising.

This kind of nobility and elegance made people dare not have a trace of blasphemy, and the leader of the gangster really wanted to get out of the way, and he couldn't help being a little panicked, feeling that he would defile her.But thinking about it again, wasn't she the one who was molested?Shouldn't she be the one who panicked?What is he afraid of?
Seeing that the gangsters around were also frightened by this momentum, they dared not step forward, unlike before when they saw a beautiful woman and just came up to make a move.Instantly felt ashamed, and wanted to reverse this weird situation, so he yelled.

"Damn, it's just a woman, how capable is she? Today you have to follow me no matter what, don't toast or eat or drink fine wine."

But the woman in front of her was still indifferent, and said in a calm tone: "I rarely drink, I don't drink toasts, and I don't drink fine wines."

"You..." The leader of the gangster was momentarily out of breath, looked at the group of younger brothers he had brought, and sternly shouted: "What are you doing standing there in a daze, why don't you hurry up and snatch them away?"

The little bastard just walked over, "Brother, are we not being polite to this little lady?"

These words made the leader of the gangster kick her to the ground in anger, "I can't take her away, so why be polite to her? I thought this time to be kind to her, but I don't know how to be so ungrateful."

Looking at the people who were about to surround him, Qi Ze didn't panic at all, his eyes were faintly filled with disdain, and his internal energy was concentrated in his fingertips, ready to knock people unconscious.

After all, she is from Southern Chu, so she should not commit murder at the feet of emperors like Yingjing, Beishuo.At that time, not to mention causing trouble to her by attracting attention, if Emperor Zhaozheng's people follow the clues to find her, it will not be fun.

She thought in her heart that when she fainted later, she would take the opportunity to pretend to be scared and leave.People saw that these people were just dizzy. Although they didn't know why, they didn't take it to heart if they were just street gangsters, and they wouldn't point the finger at her because of it.

Just when Qi Ze was about to make a move, the frail scholar from just now suddenly barged in, and hurriedly shouted with concern: "Girl, don't be afraid, I'll protect you now."

The voice stunned the gangsters, how could he protect the girl as a frail boy?The physical movements couldn't help but stop, just quietly looking at the thin boy.

The scholar ran over aggressively, and when he was about to attack the gangster who was closest to Qi Ze, he slipped and fell directly in front of Qi Ze.

Qi Ze: "..."

Looking down at the young man, whose face was distorted due to the fall, and who was gritting his teeth to bear the pain, Qi Ze hesitated for a moment.

Should she help him up? Let her reach out, she really doesn't want to.Don't let her reach out, she did fall like this to protect her, although she didn't help anything.

After much deliberation, Qi Ze decided to stretch out his hand to help the young man get up.

But when the young man saw the white hand above him, he immediately supported his waist and stood up by himself. With a shy smile, he pretended to be strong and said, "It's okay, girl, I didn't hurt from the fall, and I can get up by myself."

Then he stretched out his arms to block Qi Ze, and said righteously: "You are not allowed to bully this girl, what kind of heroes are you to bully a girl, just come at me if you have the ability."

The leader of the gangsters didn't expect that the scholar was also a stubborn stubble, he looked back and forth at the scholar's thin body, with a mocking smile on his face, "You still want to be a hero to save the beauty, but you wanted to wait for your 500 taels of silver to come over." , we'll let you go. Since you're so ignorant, you can't blame us."

After speaking, he waved his hand.A large group of punks surrounded him, punching and kicking the scholar.

But the scholar didn't cry out, just lay on the ground, covered his head, and said: "Girl, I'm here to restrain these bad guys, you run away quickly."

"Hmph, I'm going to make up my mind, little lady, you don't even want to escape today." The leader of the gangster gritted his teeth and said that he would take the lead and hold Qi Ze back.

Seeing the dirty hands getting closer and closer to him, Qi Ze frowned slightly, and took a step back to avoid it.Looking at the scholar who was beaten because of him, the silver needle between his fingers was also ready to go.

At this moment, a fiery red golden soft whip swished against the wind, and hit the gangster leader's head with a "slap".Hearing "Ouch", the leader of the gangster fell to the ground with the strength of the soft whip.

The material of the soft whip is very good, and the user also pays attention to the strength and angle, but the place where the whip is drawn is reddish, and the strength is enough to make the opponent fall to the ground, so there is no more ruthless hand.

If the owner of the soft whip used all his strength, his face would be bloody and bloody.Qi Ze thought to himself as he watched the soft whip lashing at the gangsters surrounding the scholar.

The gangster took the lead and patted his aching head, looked around and shouted: "Who is it? Who dares to hit me, let me out."

A charming yet heroic voice came into Qi Ze's ears, "It's me. I gathered people in the street to beat up people with the intention of indecently assaulting girls from a good family. Shouldn't I beat them? If it wasn't for me, it would be the summer solstice soon, so it wouldn't be right." See blood, ruin the festive atmosphere, otherwise you will be speechless by now."

Qi Ze searched for his reputation, and found a woman jumped out of the window of a private room in Chenyue Building, stood firmly on the ground, and looked at the leader of the gangsters on the ground with a smile on her face.

This woman was extremely beautiful, wearing a long silver-red dress billowing in the wind, with bright eyes and white teeth, red lips that were spotlessly red, heroic and heroic, like a blooming camellia.Although the color is bright red, noble and elegant, it does not give people a sense of distance from the richness and nobility like the peony.On the contrary, it looks like a beautiful camellia blooming on the top of the mountain, which is reflected in the mountains and plains like the morning glow and crimson gauze, warm and peaceful, free and easy, and blooming intentionally.

Qi Ze looked at the woman, and seeing her jumping from the Chenyue Tower, and her extraordinary temperament, he knew that this woman was extraordinary.

The leader of the hooligans was also stunned in place, watching the woman open her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by a clear and short-tempered man's voice, and a gasp could be faintly heard in the voice.

"Men, why are you running so fast? I don't know that I don't have martial arts, but I jumped out of the window and let me climb down the stairs alone. I'm exhausted."

The woman looked back at the man with disgust, "Meng Yanxi, you have stayed in Nanchu for so many years, and you really haven't made any progress at all. With your small physique, how can you take over the position of the master of the Meng family and lead the entire Imperial Hospital in the future. "

Meng Yanxi was not to be outdone, "Hmph, do you think every woman is as barbaric as you? I practice martial arts with a whip all day long. I have never seen a woman as barbaric and rude as you."

The woman didn't mind either, and replied with a smile: "I have never seen a man as weak as you, and you will be so tired after climbing a few steps of the ladder."

"You are so weak, my young master can run down from the No.12 floor so quickly, and my physique is already very good." Meng Yanxi panted and retorted, "Besides, this young master once ran on the battlefield with a heavy medicine box on his back. Coming and going, you didn’t see these at all, okay?”

"Oh, I really didn't see it." The woman turned her head and said with a soft whip in her hand.

"You..." Meng Yanxi became anxious for a while, with regret on his face, "If I had known, I would not have come to Chenyue Tower to drink fruit wine, so I would not have to see you. Every time I see you, nothing good happens, and Don't be mad at you, just ask for trouble."

"I didn't ask you to come to Chenyue Tower. You came here to drink fruit wine every day. It's like you've never drunk fruit wine before, and you don't know how to be ashamed." The woman smiled back and said back.

"What do you know, there is no fruit wine in Nanchu, and I haven't drunk it for a long time. After returning to Beishuo, I can't let me drink some." Meng Yanxi said while covering his chest that was constantly rising and falling due to running down, Looking at the dumbfounded leader on the ground, he wondered, "What's going on here?"

"It's okay, there are a few gangsters beating people in the street and bullying weak girls." The woman said, looking at Qi Ze with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.

Meng Yanxi didn't take it too seriously, after all, such things as gangsters are still very common.

Looking at the woman's eyes, Qi Ze knew that the woman saw that she had martial arts.The reason why she came to help was because she saw that she had no intention of killing people and causing trouble.But these hooligans were relentless in their pursuit, fearing that there would be a murder in Beishuo, so they simply came out to help.

Although she didn't intend to take the lives of these gangsters, it would be best if someone came out to settle the matter without her taking action to attract others' attention.As long as she pretends to be a weak woman who is being bullied, today's matter can be solved perfectly, and she really has to thank this woman.

Although she didn't know her, seeing Meng Yanxi's familiar appearance and knowing about Meng Yanxi's going to Nanchu, she knew that this woman's status was definitely not low.

When Steward Kong usually came to talk to her, he would talk about some interesting stories about the Beishuo family.Of course, it also included the Meng family and the Yi family, so Qi Ze had a rough idea of ​​what happened to these two families.Being so familiar with Meng Yanxi, and also knowing that Meng Yanxi went to Nanchu secretly, then this woman must not be an ordinary lady in the boudoir, at least she is familiar with Meng Yanxi.

After all, not everyone knew about going to Nanchu to secretly assist his master.Looking at the unsurprised expressions of the passers-by around, it can be seen that they didn't even know about Meng Yanxi's going to Nanchu.

If it weren't for the two people's close distance, the voice was so low that others would not be able to hear it, but she had the internal strength to be able to hear it.From this, she also guessed the unique identity of this woman, but this is Beishuo's matter, so it's better for her not to delve into it too deeply.

The woman saw that Qi Ze was calm and knew how to hide, and the elegant and noble temperament on her body was even more eye-catching, so she raised her eyebrows and smiled at Qi Ze.

Looking at the gangsters subdued by her, her face remained unchanged, and she said coldly: "Since you dare to make trouble at the feet of the emperor, you must be prepared to enter the government. Come, send these gangsters to the government, and say This girl caught her on the street."

As soon as the words fell, a group of vigorous servants stepped forward and skillfully suppressed the gangsters.The leader of the gangster wanted to say something to refute, but seeing the majesty on the woman in red, and remembering her usual demeanor in Beishuo, he had no choice but to admit it.

Qi Ze knew that these servants were not ordinary servants when he saw their vigorous movements and tall and straight figures.Not so much a servant as a well-trained soldier.With quick hands and feet and skillful movements, facing the order of the woman in red, she did not resist at all, only obeyed, with a distinctive bloody toughness on her body, which only soldiers can possess.

It seems that the status of the woman in red is higher than she imagined, and she can lead an army.

Just as she was thinking, Qi Ze saw the woman in red walking towards her slowly, with a peaceful and open smile on her face, which gave Qi Ze a vague sense of familiarity.But if you say where they are familiar, it is hard to say, after all, this is only their first meeting.

"This girl is so beautiful." The woman in red looked at the eyes on Qi Ze's veil and praised, "Especially the eyes are very beautiful."

Qi Ze just nodded slightly, not taking it seriously.After all, she is wearing a veil, so no one can see her appearance, so it should be just ordinary polite words.

Seeing that Qi Ze's reaction was so flat, the woman in red didn't care, and then said with a smile: "You just surprised the girl, you haven't been frightened, have you?"

Qi Ze shook his head lightly, lowered his eyes slightly, pretending to be an ordinary weak woman.

Seeing this, the woman in red smiled slightly, she seemed to be a smart person who knew what she should do. "If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, girl, you can report it to the government, and you don't have to worry about it." Then she lowered her head slightly and said softly: "I don't need to do it myself in the future, the silver needle is easy to scratch my hand." As he said, his eyes pointed pointedly He looked at the barely visible silver needle between Qi Ze's fingers.

In an instant, Qi Ze was startled, put away the silver needle in his hand, and looked up at the woman.It seems that this woman's martial arts is not low, at least comparable to hers.And from the time the woman took a closer look at her appearance, she probably already had doubts about her identity as Nanchu.

Holding the silver needle in her hand all the time, it means that she is not an ordinary girl in a boudoir, and the girl in red has a high status in the Beishuo family, so she must have seen almost all the ladies of the family.The only thing that has not met her is that she is probably not from Beishuo.

Looking carefully at the peaceful eyes of the woman in front of him, there was no malice in them.And also reminded her not to hold the silver needle in her hand all the time, which would easily make people suspicious. It seems that the woman did not intend to disclose her identity.

"Thank you for reminding me, miss." Qi Ze narrowed his eyes and pressed his voice to make his voice softer, more like a woman's.

The woman opposite smiled knowingly, then turned and left.

Meng Yanxi, who was behind the woman, also followed the woman and was about to leave, complaining: "Really, I really can't meet this man-in-law. Once I see her, it will be bad. This time, Xiu Mu came to Chenyue Tower for a drink. , I even met a gangster, disturbing my young master's interest."

Seeing the woman in red talking to the woman in indigo next to her just now, Meng Yanxi looked over subconsciously.Originally, he wanted to take a glance and leave, but he felt a little familiar from the woman in indigo, especially those cold eyes, he always felt like he had seen it before.

Although the other party half closed his eyes, he had definitely seen that familiar aura somewhere.

"You..." Meng Yanxi stopped and looked at Qi Ze carefully, "Did this young master meet you somewhere?"

Qi Ze was startled, but immediately calmed down, lowered his head slightly, and pretended to be ashamed.Meng Yanxi may not be able to recognize her wearing a veil, but if she messes up, it will make the other party suspicious.

Meng Yanxi looked at the shy look of the woman opposite, so he didn't take it too seriously, only thinking that he was wrong.Originally, he wanted to leave, but seeing Qi Ze's unique temperament, he felt more and more something was wrong.

There are many women who feel ashamed when they see a man, but not every woman can have such a noble temperament, and he doesn't think the familiarity just now is an illusion.

Thinking in my heart, I began to boldly raise my hand to remove the veil and find out.

Looking at Meng Yanxi's outstretched hand, Qi Ze just took a step back and lowered his head even more.He tried to get away with the shy appearance of an ordinary woman, but Meng Yanxi seemed determined to know the face under the veil, and when he took a step forward, his hands were about to touch the veil.
