The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Mask man
It was getting late, and it was inconvenient for me to go to the Yinhong Building. Li Jiu had a brother in the Yinhong Building. It was reported that the business there was booming recently, and it was full every day.

Don't think about it, the income will be doubled during this period of time, just wait until the two-month period is up, and you will officially enter the Yinhonglou.

I asked Li Jiu to develop his eyes and ears and insert them in advance so that he could pass on news in the future.He was also asked to go under the overpass, by the ferry, or further afield, to select some beggar children who had a difficult life, and after getting their voluntary consent, they would bring them back and train them for future use.

After ordering some chores, Li Jiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Engong, you are the one who came to the casino these days, but Li Jiu didn't know how to contact Engong. Know what it looks like.

Can you give me a way to get in touch?Engong is a big man, so there are many inconveniences, but there are some things that Li Jiu can't decide. With the contact method, it is easy to report big and small things to Engong. "

He was right.

Now I have a gambling house, half a restaurant, and I will have a share in Yinhonglou in a few days. When Hongye's net is spread, there will be more places to pass news in the future, and I can't always come out and run by myself. .

The time is not ripe, I can't reveal my identity for the time being, I have to think of a perfect plan...

A pair of big watery eyes suddenly floated in my mind, and I smiled slightly.

Scanning around, he saw a broken mahogany ax that attracts wealth and treasure hanging in the main hall of the room, so he walked over and pulled off the two porcelain pendants under the axe, handed one of them to Li Jiu, and said, "From now on, every two days , I will send someone over, and the person who comes will hold another piece of porcelain, and if you have any news, tell the person.”

"Yes." Li Jiu agreed.

In late autumn, it was getting dark quickly, and when I left the gambling house, the moon was already slanting.

On the way back to the General’s Mansion, I happened to pass by the Juhai Building. The cauldron was full of people, and people came from all directions. Fortunately, I have ordered Li Wanqing to close the shop tomorrow. There is no end.

Walking through the streets and alleys all the way, when approaching the general's mansion, a black shadow suddenly rushed through the alley, hit the green bead and ran away.

"Thief, don't run!" Luzhu touched her waist and found that the purse was stolen. She yelled and chased after her. The corner of the alley was so dark. I wanted to hold her back, but this girl came quickly , the shadow disappeared like the wind, there was no other way, I had no choice but to follow up quickly, and after walking a few steps, I realized that a carriage crossed at the entrance of the alley at some time.

Just as he was surprised, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man stepped out from inside.

He was wearing a bright red brocade poncho, his hair was not tied in a crown, but hung loosely behind his shoulders, moving with the wind.

"Master Su, we meet again." His voice was calm, and a silver-horned mask radiated a slight coolness under the moonlight.

I frowned secretly, but I returned the salute slightly, and said in a low voice, "It's really a coincidence, you can't meet it on the main road, but you can meet it through an alley. This Shengjing is really small."

"Hey..." He chuckled and walked towards me slowly.

For some reason, I felt an invisible pressure approaching as he approached, and I couldn't help but take a half step back.Who knew that he came straight and stood just two punches away from me.

Suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable, I couldn't help but take another half step back, and asked him vigilantly, "What are you going to do?"

He didn't say a word, just stared at me with his head down, his bright red lips were raised up, with endless playfulness.

I was a little irritable, and stared back with a cold face, only to find that he smiled even more playfully.

This side street and alley, he sent away Lu Zhu again, could it be that he wanted to trouble me...

As soon as my thoughts moved, as soon as I gave my wrist, I wanted to expose the Linglong crossbow, but who knew that he suddenly approached, the silver-horned mask was close at hand, and a scent of cold plums suddenly approached, I saw him stretch out his hand.

"Ah!" I was startled, and when I stepped back, there was already a wall. In a panic, I closed my eyes in vain.

"Ho."

I heard a chuckle and opened my eyes to see that he had stepped back a few steps and was standing half a meter away.

"What are you doing!" I was a little annoyed, and I directly slid Mo Que out of my sleeve and hid it in my hand.

"Hey, it's late autumn, and there are still so many bugs, like this one, it almost landed on Mr. Su's shoulder." He raised his hand, and I saw clearly that the slender hand was holding the bug. A multiclawed black cap beetle.

I was naturally disgusted with these snakes and insects, so I couldn't help but lower my eyebrows, he didn't say much, turned around and put the bugs on the eaves, the insects were free, and panicked, crawled into the cracks of the brick eaves, and disappeared in a moment .

He seemed to be smiling, then turned to me and said, "I never thought Mr. Su, who won the game with his eloquent tongue, would be afraid of insects. It's really surprising."

"What's the surprise? Snakes, rats, rats and ants are already annoying." My face burned, but the Mo Que in my hand was clenched even tighter, as if I had regained some ground.

He didn't talk, just stood not far away and stared at me, the bright red brocade pomegranate was dyed silver by the moonlight, moving with the wind, it was a bit chic.

At first I could still look at him, but after all, I managed to win his gambling house by means. As the sky was getting darker, I held my breath a little bit, and asked, "Young master is waiting here, could it be To tell me, there are many insects in autumn, right?"

He pondered for a while, and said, "If I said that I happened to meet at the entrance of the alley today, Mr. Su would believe it?"

Oh, ghosts believe it!

I secretly slandered, but on the surface I also pretended to be sincere, and said, "Since the young master said so, of course I believe it. But it's getting late today, if there is a destiny, you and I will definitely meet again, so I won't accompany you."

After I finished speaking, I saluted and strode forward. When I walked around him, I held Mo Que tightly, but he just stood there motionless until I walked a long way away. without even looking back.

In this way, I was even more frightened, so I hurried up the pace and walked up the main street.

"Little... Young Master."

Almost as soon as I set foot on the main street, Lu Zhu ran back head-on, ran to the front, raised the purse in her hand, and ostentatiously said, "Miss, Lu Zhu chased two streets, and finally chased the thief. The thief was frightened, threw away the purse and ran away, hum, if you dare to steal my Luzhu purse, next time you meet him, you will definitely slap him twice!"

She chatted on and on for a long time, but when she saw that I didn't respond, she asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

I shook my head and said, "No, don't do such a dangerous thing next time. I'm lucky today. If the thief has malicious intentions, I'm afraid you, a woman, won't be able to handle it."

Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment, she seemed to be a little bit afraid, she nodded and said, "Young Master, I understand, servants will pay attention next time."

I won't say much, just look back at the alley just now.

There are lights on the main street, which makes the alley even darker. Looking at it like this, the alley looks like a giant python with its mouth wide open, revealing the darkness and horror.

It was really dangerous just now, there was no one in the alley, if his thoughts were slightly wrong, I'm afraid...

However, he didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything to me. Although I don't know why he met me in the alley, and finally changed his mind and said it was a coincidence, I have a hunch that we will definitely meet again.

I suddenly felt a little regretful, I was so nervous and defensive just now, since I felt that he was familiar again and again, why did I forget to use my mysterious power to see his real appearance under the mask.

Moreover, it seemed a little embarrassing just now...

Sighing secretly in my heart, I quickened my pace and went back to the General's Mansion.

The old butler was still waiting at the door, and when he saw me coming back, he quickly lit the lamp for me.

It was a cool night in late autumn, and the night lights on the eaves swayed with the wind. For some reason, it made me feel extremely deserted, and I couldn't help wrapping it in a brocade canopy.

The old butler sighed softly, sent me back to the small courtyard, then saluted and left.

Qingteng had already prepared a meal, four dishes and one soup, which was very tasty.After eating, the mother-in-law carried the hot water sprinkled with flower petals, and I undressed and put it into the wooden barrel. After soaking in the hot water, I immediately felt very comfortable.

After soaking in the soup bath, I backed away and called Chu Qi over.Hand out that piece of porcelain in her hand, and order her to sneak out of the mansion to pass on news to me while there is no one around. She immediately knelt down with tears in her eyes, saying that she is dexterous, and the big wall of the general’s mansion said: Turning over and over, and saying that he must live up to the entrustment, and he must complete the task...

It was late at night, and I was a little tired. After telling her to go down, Luzhu also cooked the soup.When the concoction was warm and cool, I was already too sleepy. After a few sips, I turned off the light and went to sleep. When I woke up, it was time to enter the Qinglan Pavilion again.

The housekeeper had already prepared the carriage, and Su Qingxue had been waiting beside the carriage. When she saw me approaching, she took half a step forward to meet me.Today she is wearing brocade glazed embroidered hair, with beautiful sideburns, light makeup and vermilion lips, long earrings hanging down, swaying slightly as she walks, if she doesn't know her snake-hearted heart, she looks really pitiful to me.

"Little sister, go first." She smiled brilliantly, and she was meant to be polite, so I didn't hesitate to step on the stool and get into the car.

The carriage moved slowly and arrived at Qinglan Pavilion.Different from every day, there was no sound of chimes and drums at this time of day. I was curious and went there, and found that all the students were wearing simple clothes and rushing straight to the direction of the main hall.

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that there would be no more tests, so I quickly changed into a simple outfit and followed the crowd towards the main hall.

Along the way, I inquired about it. Today is not the Qinglan Pavilion's test, but the annual autumn hunting day.

In Xiqi, at the end of autumn, the royal family will conduct a large-scale hunting on the Shoushan Mountain in the north of the holy capital. Originally, only members of the royal family were allowed to participate, but since three years ago, His Majesty the Emperor felt that the Qinglan Pavilion was a special place for the royal family. In the academy, the students naturally belonged to the royal family after they completed their studies, and they were specially approved to go hunting.

If there is such a thing, the master must give some instructions about the Guizhou system in advance, although it is very long-winded, but the students have been in the pavilion for several months, and they practice boringly every day.Now that they can participate in the hunting, they are all a little excited, and they are even more excited when they hear that they can see His Majesty the Emperor during this hunting.

The master watched and shook his head, and said that children should not be taught, and finally led us to the carriage and horses. The four students rode in a cart, and then we went to the Shoushan hunting ground.
