Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 208 A Scary Woman
Liu Yunxiang worried all night, and woke up the next day with two dark circles under his eyes, and fainted in front of Jin Haitang when he saw her.

"Village Master, I seem to have caught a cold, so I can't perform with you."

Jin Haitang looked at her and said distressedly: "It really looks haggard."

"Well, then I..."

"Give her a patched dress and let her ask the spectators for rewards."

Lose face or lose life, she had to choose one.

Liu Yunxiang hardly hesitated and chose to ask for money.

Le Yan is the woman who owns the white-faced scholar. She asked Liu Yunxiang to change her clothes, and then taught her the skills of begging for money.

"First of all, you must bend down, and you must have a three-point bitterness, three-point smile and three-point strength on your face."

Liu Yunxiang experienced it for a while, but couldn't understand it.

"In short, it's okay to cry, laugh and curse, as long as they ask for money."

"I try my best."

Le Yan narrowed his eyes, "The village master said, if you can't get this amount today, hum."

"I'll make it up for you, double." Liu Yunxiang waved his hand.

Le Yan gritted his teeth, "It's amazing to be rich!"

"It's not that big of a deal."

It just makes people envious and jealous.

This is Lianzhou, located to the west of the Central Plains, the gateway to the Northwest Corridor, and the only way from the Central Plains to the Northwest Plateau.Because of the trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, merchants gathered from east to west, north and south, and it was very prosperous.

Jiang Hong and Le Yan went to sell themselves to lose their husbands. Jin Haitang led others to occupy a piece of land and began to perform juggling.First, the gongs and drums were used to attract passers-by to come around, and a few young people performed a set of foil fencing.

The next show was the boulder breaking on the chest, and the spectators held their breaths. As Jin Haitang hammered down, the stone shattered into pieces, and the people below stood up and bowed, and there was a burst of applause from the audience.

"Hurry up and ask for the reward at this time." Jin Haitang gave Liu Yunxiang a push.

Seeing them perform so hard, although Liu Yunxiang couldn't save face, he still went. 360 lines, busking is also a line, it is better than robbery.

"Uncle and aunt, if you look at it well and enjoy it, you can give me some money, so that we sisters can have a full meal."

Le Yan taught her this.

Some were proud and took out a few copper coins on the spot, some were reluctant but rewarded one, and some just hid behind.A circle to come down, did not want a few.

After that, Jin Haitang performed a flying rope walk. A very thin rope was tied to a high place. She used her arms to balance her body and walked step by step on the rope. The people below looked very thrilling.

Liu Yunxiang was gasping for breath while watching, and hurriedly begged for the reward, "Sister, you are kind and kind, give me a few coppers. Brother looks like a good person, you can't bear us sisters to go hungry."

It really takes a lot to get down this lap.

When Jin Haitang flew to the ground, the performance was over.

Liu Yunxiang carefully counted the copper plates in the broken bowl, just a hundred, only one tael of silver.

"It turns out that making money is so difficult."

Jin Haitang smiled: "It's hard to make money, you just don't know it."

This continued for three days, and when the stall was being closed that day, a man dressed as a butler stopped Jin Haitang.They talked for a while, Jin Haitang nodded repeatedly, and came back to tell them that the man was the housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion in Lianzhou, and their old lady was about to pass her birthday, so she asked them to perform juggling.

"This is a big deal. If it makes the old lady happy, there will be a lot of rewards alone." Jin Haitang said happily.

The others were also very happy to hear, "Then when shall we enter the mansion?"

"Tomorrow morning, I have to rehearse in the mansion for a few days."

Early the next morning, Liu Yunxiang followed Jin Haitang and the others to the Governor's Mansion, and the housekeeper arranged them to live in a side courtyard.Jin Haitang and the others needed training, so they often left her alone in the yard.

Liu Yunxiang stayed obediently for two days, but this day he sneaked out of the yard while Jin Haitang and the others were out.

This courtyard is very remote, there is a big garden in front, Liu Yunxiang got lost as soon as he walked in.At this time, I heard the music of guzheng playing, like the jingle of spring water, very pleasant.

She turned eastward and westward following the sound of the music, and when she got out of the garden, she saw a bamboo forest with a small path leading to the depths.Liu Yunxiang walked along the path, the deeper he went, the deeper it became, as if he was in the mountains.

When he reached the end and turned a corner, he saw a courtyard, three main rooms, surrounded by low courtyard walls surrounded by green bamboo poles.

The music came from the courtyard, Liu Yunxiang lowered his body, walked quietly to the courtyard wall, and then secretly raised his head to look inside.But I saw a clump of peonies planted in the small yard, perhaps because of the cover of the bamboo forest, the growth of peonies was not good, the flowers were very small and thin, and the leaves were yellow.

In front of the peony flowers, a woman is wearing a goose-yellow bright satin embroidered peony flower jacket, and a plain flowing fairy skirt underneath. Her black hair is completed with a simple bun and a seven-treasure step shaker.Slender hands pluck the strings, the music is sometimes distant but passionate.

In the middle of the courtyard, a man in a dark robe was dancing with a sword. The sword was sometimes sharp and sometimes steady with the music.

After playing the song, the man put away his sword, walked to the guzheng, knelt down on one knee, held the woman's hand and kissed it.

"Our Zheng'er's music skills can be said to be unique in the world."

The woman seemed shy, lowered her head and pushed the man.

The man laughed out loud and hugged the woman again.

"Husband is going to the city gate, and will come back to accompany you at night."

The woman nodded obediently, but still lowered her head.

The man reluctantly kissed the woman's forehead before getting up and leaving.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly hid, and when the man left, she was about to leave the same way, but she heard a chaotic sound of guzheng from the courtyard, which made her heart beat.

She looked over secretly, and saw that the woman was fiddled with the zither like venting, and she could faintly hear some strange roars.

Clap!
A string is broken!
Only then did the woman calm down, her body trembling violently, as if extremely angry.She lay on the guzheng for a long time, then got up and plucked a few peony flowers, and then walked towards the west wall.

The woman had some difficulty walking, Liu Yunxiang took a closer look and found that her feet were covered with iron chains.

There are a few soil bags beside the west wall, like... Grave mounds!
The woman put the peony flowers one by one on the grave, as if she was just doing it casually, turned around and walked back without even looking at it.

But after walking a few steps, she stopped suddenly, and then slowly turned her head.

Before she could look over, Liu Yunxiang squatted down hurriedly. After squatting for a while, she was relieved when she heard the sound of the iron chain, but she couldn't restrain her curiosity, and stuck her head out to look again.

But he didn't want to meet a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, the almond eyes were full of water, like shiny black gemstones.

But the next moment, Liu Yunxiang gasped again.

This woman has a terrifyingly large mouth, as if someone could cut it open with a knife. The left side is almost cracked to the jawbone, and the gums are all exposed.

When the woman saw her, the corner of her mouth on the other side pulled up, revealing a very weird smile.
