Traveling with a female companion

Chapter 30 Enter V3

—————Woman Catch Thief

The first night was so improvised, and for the next two nights, Yuan Qingzhu was inexplicably unwilling to sleep on the bed, saying that she couldn't sleep when the two of them were crowded together, so she voluntarily slept on the floor, leaving Song Xiaocheng alone to occupy a bed .No matter how I asked her, she didn't get an answer.

Soon the boat docked and arrived at Wanghai City. Song Xiaocheng jumped off the boat and felt that the sight was very bright. There were probably hundreds of people of all kinds on the dock. From a distance, the city's buildings were very prosperous. There is an endless stream of pedestrians.They squeezed through the crowd and finally entered the city.

Song Xiaocheng stretched her neck to look while walking, her face was full of joy: "Look, there is a market next to it, I must go to have a look; there are people selling art there, it's amazing!" Beef skewers are sold at the side stalls, and it is so greedy that it drools. "Woman, let's go there together." She thought that although Yuan Qingzhu was powerful, he couldn't see after all, so don't get lost in a place with so many people.

But Yuan Qingzhu showed no expression, and folded his arms: "You just go, don't treat me as blind." Song Xiaocheng really took the badger for more than ten meters, and saw her following up leisurely. Just rest assured.

Badger was greedy for skewers and refused to leave, pulling Song Xiaocheng's skirt: "Buy me that, I want to eat it." Song Xiaocheng patted its fluffy head: "We still have to get down to business, go first Go to Eunuch Liu's mansion to find out, and it won't be too late to come out to buy." Badger swallowed his saliva hard, and reluctantly left the food stall.

Although Eunuch Liu's house was indeed in Wanghai City, the city was so big that he lost his direction for a while.Song Xiaocheng asked Badger to think about it, what kind of scene it saw in the fortune-telling, Badger was so short and squeezed in the crowd that it was uncomfortable, so he yelled why he didn't ask someone.They said in unison: "No." Song Xiaocheng immediately fell silent, and Yuan Qingzhu said that when they came to the city this time, strong dragons would not be able to overwhelm the snakes, so it is best not to let strangers know their purpose.

They wandered around the city for half a circle, and their legs were sore from shopping, but they still couldn't find it.The badger walked around even more blindly, and passed a restaurant at noon, ready to go in for something to eat.

"Ouch!" Song Xiaocheng yelled suddenly, staggered a few steps, and Yuan Qingzhu held her small waist. "What are you doing, walking straight into me, are you trying to take advantage?" She yelled, and a crooked man with his hat on his back accidentally bumped into her while walking, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Song Xiaocheng looked at his attitude It's okay, just as I was about to step into the restaurant.

"Stop." Yuan Qingzhu said coldly.

"What's the matter with the heroine, let's look after lunch first, I'm really hungry." Song Xiaocheng didn't know why, so Badger tried to help.

"It's not about you, you stop for me." Yuan Qingzhu stood in front of the crooked man who wanted to leave with a cold face.Pointing at Song Xiaocheng: "Give it back to her." Song Xiaocheng touched her belt subconsciously: "Oh, my purse and medicine powder!"

"Don't run!" Seeing the bad situation, the man turned around and ran, as fast as a rabbit. The badger barked, and he ran even faster. "Catch the thief, that man with crooked mouth stole my money bag." Song Xiaocheng shouted anxiously, the man slid into the crowd, and the passers-by were in a commotion.She thought she couldn't count on others, so she took two steps and passed over their heads, shouting "Catch the thief!"He chased after the man where he fled.

Yuan Qingzhu sighed deeply, and Badger hurriedly pulled her back: "Let's go after Miss Yuan too. Don't blame Miss Song. It's a trivial matter to lose money, but there is her baby in the medicine bottle." Holding the badger in his arms, he jumped onto the roof: "How can I blame her, but I met a thief as soon as I came here, I'm afraid this trip is not good...you show me the way." He also quickly followed them away.

Song Xiaocheng ran all the way with hunger and anger. She was so angry that she was stolen when she arrived in the city.She stared at the back of the crooked man, thinking that if she caught him, she would beat him up to vent her anger.

This guy really ran like a rabbit casting a net. He turned several turns and came to an alley with few people, and suddenly slowed down.Song Xiaocheng took advantage of the situation and jumped up a few steps, shouting: "You still dare to run, return my purse!"

The man was not afraid either, he stopped and turned around smilingly looking at Song Xiaocheng who was in a panic. "You still dare to laugh, I warn you if you don't pay me back, I'll beat you to the ground." She made a gesture to roll up her sleeves, and the crooked man grinned, and the crooked mouth became even more crooked: "Brothers, come out and pay me back." The chick is bright."

Several men in disheveled clothes came out from behind the alley and laughed wildly at Song Xiaocheng.The man took out her purse and medicine bottle: "I'm going to be the fourth brother, oh, there are gold ingots in it, and I'm really big today." Standing there, as if to say, do you dare to come over?This is a crowd of people, she is not good at fighting, money is not a big deal, the key is the ecstasy powder, how can they take it away?

"If you are smart, return the things to me. Let me tell you, my friend will come soon. Her temper is very fierce. When the time comes, your parents won't recognize you." Song Xiaocheng emboldened herself loudly, But those guys didn't believe it at all, and laughed even more happily.Kuaishou's fourth child clutched his chest and smiled: "Oh, your helper is here, I'm so scared, hahaha."

Another ruffian also said loudly: "Little girl, don't be angry, let me give you a kiss, and the money will be returned to you, come on." They teased Song Xiaocheng, she was so anxious, didn't the heroine follow her? Come up, is the road blind Badger taking the wrong direction?

Just as the ruffians turned to leave, "Stop." Yuan Qingzhu's cold voice came.Song Xiaocheng was overjoyed, it would be great if the heroine came.She quickly pointed at them and said, "Not only did they rob me of my purse and medicine bottle, they also teased me with words." But the ruffians laughed even more when they saw that the so-called helpers were a blind woman and a dog.

Song Xiaocheng was backed by Yuan Qingzhu, and she ran forward a few steps to ask Kuaishou's fourth brother to ask for the things back. He smiled so distortedly: "Just because of this blind man, brothers, show them our dog." The other guy whistled towards the back of the alley, and a big black dog with mangy swayed out slowly. When it saw the badger opposite, it immediately bared its teeth and showed a fierce look in its eyes.

Kuaishou's fourth brother told them to leave as soon as possible: "Otherwise, you want to leave this fat dog for us to drink, okay." The big black dog arched its body and stared at the badger fiercely.Badgers can beat even a group of foxes, why are they afraid of them?With a whine, he wanted to rush up, but was stopped by Song Xiaocheng: "Badger, don't go up, these little thieves are really self-inflicted, let the heroine vent their anger."

As she spoke, she took the badger and hid aside.Yuan Qingzhu shook his head, raised his hand suddenly, and a burst of fire rushed towards them. With a bang, half of the wall shattered. "This, what kind of monster is this, run away!" The bullying ruffians never expected this move, they turned pale with fright, and ran away with their heads in their hands.Kuaishou's fourth brother also lost his hands and feet for a while, and took a few steps back.Yuan Qingzhu stepped forward quickly, and two more flashes of fire flashed by. The brick walls and stones around him were shaken apart, and dust and broken stones all fell down.

Kuaishou's fourth brother became more and more frightened, turned around and fled when he saw the situation was not good, Yuan Qingzhu waved his hand lightly, only heard the yells of ouch, a few broken bricks and stones hit him straight, lying on the ground and couldn't get up .Yuan Qingzhu walked forward slowly, and Kuaishou's face was ashen, and he called out the names of his accomplices a few times, but they had already slipped away, and he sat on the ground and kept moving his buttocks back: "Don't come here, return the money bag, return it!" Here you are." He said as he threw the thing away, Yuan Qingzhu caught it in the air.Song Xiaocheng just ran out, took it triumphantly, and weighed it: "That's right, the medicine bottle is full before he has time to drop the bag."

Kuaishou's fourth child, one mouthful and one elder sister, spared his life, and was so scared that he almost peed his pants in the rocks.Yuan Qingzhu asked Song Xiaocheng how to deal with her, and Song Xiaocheng thought for a while: "I should have sent him to the government to deal with him properly, but judging by his old fritters, he is probably a regular visitor, didn't they just now have a lot of people?" , now he is the only one left, how about we play with him?"

Badger grinned knowingly: "How do you play?" Song Xiaocheng said a few names of punishments, and Kuaishou's fourth brother hurriedly begged for mercy, saying that although he stole things, he was not guilty of death, and at most doing coolies would be enough .Song Xiaocheng stroked her chin and asked, "You are the local snake here, are you familiar with Wanghai City?"

Kuaishou fourth child nodded desperately. "Well, have you heard of Eunuch Liu?" He was taken aback when he heard the name, and his hesitation was fleeting: "I haven't heard of it."

"Hey, even the people on the pier know it, but you, a local snake, don't know? Don't pretend to tell me the truth!" Song Xiaocheng waved her thumb at Yuan Qingzhu, "I don't talk, but this heroine It’s hard to say.” Kuaishou’s fourth brother’s face twitched, and he asked cautiously, “Why are you looking for him?”

"Why tell you, it seems that you care about him quite a bit, this Eunuch Liu is your godfather?"

Suddenly Yuan Qingzhu said lightly: "We have some jade. I heard that Eunuch Liu is an expert in this field and came to pick his business." Song Xiaocheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the rumor said that he really likes jade.

"Really, really," Kuaishou Laosi seemed to let go of his guard when he heard this, "Don't fool me, show me your jade."

Song Xiaocheng snorted, how could she have such a thing, she was trying to force him to lead the way.At this time Yuan Qingzhu took out a Xuanji in the shape of a ring.

As soon as his eyes lit up, Kuaishou's fourth brother grinned crookedly: "I didn't say it earlier, so the two girls are also in the jade business. Eunuch Liu is an expert in this field. I'll take you there."

Hey, is this willing to lead the way?Song Xiaocheng was so surprised that she thought she had to give him a good beating.Kuaishou's fourth brother climbed up with a shy face, and patted the dust: "To tell you the truth, stealing things for fun is my profession, and sometimes I also work as a broker. Let's talk about it first. I can take you to Eunuch Liu. Under normal circumstances, after the jade is sold, I have to pay one-twentieth of the silver."

"Haha," Song Xiaocheng laughed dumbly, "It's fine to pay you, let the heroine loosen her muscles and bones before that." Kuaishou's fourth child hurriedly raised his hand and stepped back, smiling flatteringly: "I'm treating others In this way, how can I collect your money, who made us friends? As the saying goes, if you don’t fight, you don’t know each other.”

Who is your friend, Song Xiaocheng slandered, Badger jumped onto her shoulder: "This guy is too thick-skinned." You have to find another way to enter the mansion."

Kuaishou's fourth child obediently led them the way, from the west to the east, and after a long circle, they arrived at Eunuch Liu's house.They couldn't find it before, because the badger Lu Blind got it wrong. On the way, Song Xiaocheng bought some skewers and ate them while walking. Yuan Qingzhu also ate a few skewers of beef. I ordered a sweet and sour green orange sauce, which I never noticed before.

—————First arrival at the Eunuch’s Mansion

The house is heavily guarded, much more orthodox than those humanoid fox attendants in Hu Daxian Villa.Begging and selling were not allowed near the gate, so as not to affect eunuch Liu's rest.They followed Kuaishou Laosi into the gate, and the gatekeeper knew him too, and let them in after a few questions.

This is indeed a big house with five entrances and five exits.Next to the huge main hall are corridors, wing rooms and pavilions. The stones paving the road are snow-white, and you can see famous flowers and rare trees everywhere. There are small bridges and flowing water in the distance, and the trees are green.

Song Xiaocheng took a deep breath of fresh air, she didn't expect this eunuch to be so rich.Standing at the entrance of the main hall, the servant said to inform the butler first.The fourth brother of Kuaishou rubbed his hands with a smile, and even got close to Yuan Qingzhu, saying that the Xuanji was a good thing in white color with red lines.Yuan Qingzhu simply ignored him.

Song Xiaocheng thought that she must ask her in private, we have known each other for a while, why have I never seen her take out this piece of jade, maybe there is a story on this treasure.Soon Steward Dong came out to receive them, and Kuaishou's fourth child whispered a few words in front of him, as if to say that this piece of jade was really good. The steward nodded and asked them to go to the side hall to rest.

After asking the servant to bring tea and snacks, Steward Dong naturally wanted to see what this piece of jade looked like.Yuan Qingzhu didn't hide it, but stretched out his hand, and on the palm of his hand lay Xuanji, which was warm and soft, shining with luster, and there were a few thin red lines on the jade body, like a seal of fire, which made people's eyes Can't move.Song Xiaocheng also leaned over to take a look. She couldn't see the way, but she knew how to read people.Although Steward Dong didn't speak and pretended to be expressionless, his pupils had already dilated and his eyes were shining, which showed that this was indeed a good treasure.

"How about it, this thing is good, at least it can be regarded as middle-grade." Kuaishou's fourth brother was triumphant, and he wanted to increase the price and brokerage fees.Steward Dong let out a sigh of relief, and reached out to take it, but Yuan Qingzhu clenched his fist and took Xuanji away.He begged with a flattering face: "Miss, can you let me take a closer look?"

Yuan Qingzhu didn't say anything, Song Xiaocheng quickly stopped him: "Hey, Mr. Steward, this really good treasure is for your master to see, you don't have the qualifications to do it." Dong Steward even claimed yes, and ordered the servant to go again Let me know.He started to make a routine, asking where Xuanji came from, whether it was uploaded by his ancestors or obtained by chance, Yuan Qingzhu didn't say it clearly, and didn't reveal it at all.

Song Xiaocheng whispered softly: "Heroine, we are here to find Huiyu, do you really want to do jade business with Eunuch Liu, or should we sneak in in the middle of the night and look for it slowly?" Yuan Qingzhu made a hand, Whispering: "The guards here are heavily guarded. I'm afraid I won't be able to force my way if I'm not familiar with the place. I have my own way to stay here overnight." Song Xiaocheng didn't say much, she believed that the heroine would do it.

But after a long time, the badger had already eaten one plate of sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake, two plates of wheat-flavored melon seeds, and three spiced tea eggs.The servant who went to report has not returned yet.Seeing that it was almost evening, Song Xiaocheng was getting a little impatient. In the side hall, there were Steward Dong, the fourth son Kuaishou, and a few servants who waited on him. She couldn't chat to relieve the boredom. She asked the butler how long he was going to wait?Butler Dong just smiled all over his face: "It's almost there."

Finally the servant came back in a hurry, sweating profusely with a flustered expression, and said something in Steward Dong's ear. Steward Dong's face suddenly became very embarrassed, but when he looked at them, he immediately returned to normal: "Two Miss, what a coincidence, father-in-law is busy with something, why don't you please report the address of the inn, and I will send a carriage to pick you up tomorrow?"

Yuan Qingzhu shook his head slightly: "It's fine if you don't do business, why use this reason to be perfunctory, let's go." As he said, he got up and left, Song Xiaocheng hurriedly followed, Badger stuffed a big mouthful of snacks and followed closely behind.

Dong Butler smiled awkwardly, and was a little anxious: "Miss, it's not that we don't do business. Our father-in-law does have important matters, please take care of him." Yuan Qingzhu walked out quickly: "Let me wait for half a day. Sincerity, do you want me to wait impatiently so that you can lower the price? Sorry, I would like to go to another place to have a look." Song Xiaocheng already understood, and chimed in: "That's right, waiting for such a long time to play monkeys, isn't our time worthless Why, we have treasures, are we afraid that no one will buy them?"

"Missesses, oh, this..." Steward Dong was so anxious that he trotted up to stop them, and it was really not insincere to bite them one by one, "I will not hide it from you two, our father-in-law has ten concubines, and they are now jealous of each other. , He has to mediate in the middle, otherwise they will seek death and life, and we really can't neglect the two of you." Kuaishou's fourth child also came up to help, and advised them not to be angry.

Song Xiaocheng really found it unbelievable that a eunuch married a tenth house, and everyone was jealous of him, oh my god, this world really doesn't understand.

"Hey," Yuan Qingzhu sighed and stopped, "It's been a waste of time for us, how can I believe your words?" Dong Butler thought for a moment, then ordered the servant to clean up a table of good dishes, and said shyly: "Both of you Miss, it’s getting late in the evening, and I’m really sorry for letting you wait for nothing, why don’t you just stay here for a light meal? Then make plans?” Yuan Qingzhu frowned, and asked him what the hell he was up to, and Steward Dong took one bite at a time. Misunderstood, he really wanted to invite them to dinner.

Being persuaded by him, Yuan Qingzhu looked a little hesitant, and Song Xiaocheng suddenly said embarrassedly: "I'm really hungry when it comes to eating. I was busy with Kuaishou's fourth son before, so I ate a little skewers on the way." Steward Dong He laughed until he couldn't see his eyes: "Yes, yes, you can't starve this young lady, we have plenty of good wine and food."

Yuan Qingzhu was extremely difficult and reluctantly agreed.The housekeeper and Kuaishou's fourth child surrounded them and then turned back to the side hall. The servants hurriedly cleared the table, and after a while, the delicious wine and food were brought up.Steward Dong asked the servants to leave under the pretext of not disturbing the lady's meal.

When there were only the two of them and a badger left in the room, Song Xiaocheng was relieved, and she didn't have to hold her posture so tightly. "Woman, your acting skills were really good just now. They were really anxious when you said you were going to leave. Next time you want to act like this, let me know in advance, but I didn't even react."

The corner of Yuan Qingzhu's mouth raised: "No response? Then you said you were hungry." Song Xiaocheng smiled: "That's true, no matter how much he has, let's eat first." No problem, just eat and chew.Song Xiaocheng looked at her holding up her chopsticks and was a little hesitant, thinking that she always ate steamed bread and dry food, and that day at the banquet, Caidie gave her the name of the dish, so now she can do it by herself.

"Woman, the dishes on the table include smoked gluten in sweet sauce, steamed egg dumplings, dried shrimp and sesame oil mixed with cabbage heart, stewed meat in a porcelain pot, roast chicken with pine nuts, and what is this? It looks like jelly." Song Xiaocheng served it Take a small spoon to taste the taste and smile: "It's a cake made of orange juice and sugar. It's cold and sweet. It's delicious. Thanks to them, they figured it out."

"Then I want this." Yuan Qingzhu signaled, Song Xiaocheng cut half a piece for her, and filled a lot of other dishes, she began to eat carefully.Song Xiaocheng was eating by herself and caring about her, so she felt very happy, and kept asking "Woman, this egg dumpling is delicious, what do you think?" gone."

Yuan Qingzhu chuckled lightly: "You treat me like a child?" Song Xiaocheng immediately waved her hand: "Don't dare, it's just that I like to care about others the most, and I can only ask when they're gone...The next thing is when we finish eating." Leave, and sneak in again in the middle of the night, right?"

Yuan Qingzhu shook his head: "It doesn't need to be so complicated. Wouldn't it be more convenient to live here at night and check directly?" Song Xiaocheng was a little confused: "They only invited us to dinner, but didn't invite us to stay. They can't ask for it , they will be suspicious." Hearing this, Yuan Qingzhu smiled unexpectedly: "Then you just wait and see, what I will ask you later, just answer in the negative." Between her words With confidence.Song Xiaocheng couldn't help taking a deep breath: The heroine's smile is really radiant.

The meal was really good. After the meal, Song Xiaocheng poured a few cups of tea, and Yuan Qingzhu held it in his hand, calmly, without revealing any ideas.Before Song Xiaocheng came to her and said a few words, Steward Dong and Kuaishou's fourth child came in and asked them if they were eating well. Actually, there was no need to ask, Badger had already slapped loudly "Uh~~" burp.

"Thank you for the hospitality. Let's go." Yuan Qingzhu politely thanked him for the treat, and was about to leave. Song Xiaocheng didn't know what she was up to, but she just followed.

Steward Dong politely asked them what to do next, Yuan Qingzhu ignored him, and asked Kuaishou's fourth brother instead: "You know this neighborhood very well, is there any good inn?"

Kuaishou's fourth brother blurted out: "Yes, Yuantong Inn and Zhongtong Inn are both good, the best one is SF Inn, but the price..." Butler Dong glared at him, and he quickly shut up, "The inn charges are expensive. , mixed with fish and dragons, it is very inconvenient for the girl to stay at home, besides, it is getting late, and the businessmen here and there have all booked rooms, do you want the two young ladies to come for nothing?" Dong Butler said with concern, Kuaishou's fourth son, yes Huh, hurry up and help.

"Then what should I do? No matter what, go to the inn first, and compare the prices before making a decision?" Yuan Qingzhu frowned slightly anxiously, and asked Song Xiaocheng.

"No, I still have to go shopping. Is there a place where I can live directly? I'm really tired from running during the day, and now I just want to find a bed to lie down on." Song Xiaocheng begged.

"It's not because you eat slowly. I didn't hear Butler Dong say that it's difficult to book a room late at night, or go to the pier to see if there is a night boat, and take it if there is a suitable place." Yuan Qingzhu was serious, and Song Xiaocheng was wronged: "Just now Do I have to take a boat again when I get to the shore? I don’t want to.” Seeing the disagreement between the two, the atmosphere was a little awkward.Steward Dong and Kuaishou's fourth child made eye contact, which meant that they looked very powerful, but they had no experience in the world, and they believed what others said. Where can I find such tender heads?

Steward Dong said with a smile: "Miss, can you listen to my idea?" Yuan Qingzhu asked him to speak. "You see, it's getting late now. There must be no room in the inn, or you can condescend to stay in the mansion for a night. Our guest rooms are very clean, and the bedding is new..."

"Live here with you, do you think we are stupid, living in a stranger's house for no reason?"

Butler Dong tutted and shook his hand: "Miss, why are we strangers? You have brought such a fine jade, it's too late to entertain you... And to tell you the truth, our Eunuch Liu is the most hospitable, and business friends are here Living here is also a common thing." Kuaishou's fourth brother also helped, and kept urging them to stay here. I will definitely see Eunuch Liu tomorrow. Besides, this girl in black knows kung fu, which blind person dares to provoke her? she?

After some earnest persuasion, Yuan Qingzhu finally reluctantly agreed.Butler Dong hurriedly ordered the servants to take them to the double room next to them, and call for anything they needed.

As soon as the servant left, she closed the door and leaned against it, then laughed out loud: "Nv Xia, so you decided to live here a long time ago, and they rushed to beg us to stay, it's so fun." It's not easy, she said seriously: "When it's time to arrive, Badger and I will visit the eunuch's mansion at night, we need to know where Huiyu is."

"But tomorrow, do you really want to trade this Xuanji with Eunuch Liu?" Song Xiaocheng asked urgently, Xuanji is bright and jade-like, and she likes it after seeing it once.

"No, this is just an introduction. When you find Huiyu, take her away. Don't worry about the rest." Yuan Qingzhu came to the bed, touched the bedding on the bed, and sat on it.Badger tugged on Song Xiaocheng's skirt: "Hey, I'll talk about the rest later, there are only two beds here, where do I sleep?"

—————Night Exploration of Tibetan Jade Tower

Song Xiaocheng smiled: "Badger, you also have a bit of professional ethics, okay? Why do you eat or sleep all day long? The heroine said that you would go with her to visit the eunuch's mansion at night. The place where Huiyu was was only seen by you at the time." Arriving." Badger hugged her calf, rubbing his fat body back and forth, with aggrieved expression on his face: "So I have to sleep first, and then I will have the energy to work when I get to bed."

Its meaning is very clear, Yuan Qingzhu has already occupied a bed, and the other bed belongs to Song Xiaocheng, let him sleep on it.Yuan Qingzhu said leisurely: "It's right, there are still a few hours in the ion time, first recharge your batteries." Badger looked at Song Xiaocheng pitifully, and her heart softened: "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you tonight Go get busy, I'll just sleep on the bed again." Badger stretched his arms and cheered, rolling happily on the bed.

Song Xiaocheng sat at the table, poured tea and drank slowly.Yuan Qingzhu sat on the bed, crossed his hands, and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.Song Xiaocheng kept looking at her. When she was quiet, her face was beautiful, her lips were thin and red, like cherries in early summer; her neck was graceful and slender, and her shoulders were soft.Gradually, she moved her eyes down to her chest, she was not very prominent in black clothes, her waist and legs were slender... especially her hands that were placed side by side, it was impossible to tell that she was from the Jianghu, they were as thin and white as jade, and her nails were oval And clear.

"Have you seen enough?" Suddenly Yuan Qingzhu spoke, Song Xiaocheng was startled, bowed her head and drank tea, pretending to be stupid.

"What the hell are you thinking about?" Yuan Qingzhu asked, but there was no anger in his words.Song Xiaocheng had a quick mind, and laughed: "I'm not looking at you, I'm just curious about your Xuanji, and I can't figure out why you suddenly turned into such a good treasure."

"Have you committed the problem of gossip again?"

Song Xiaocheng was a little lucky, and the gossip helped her act as a shield at the critical moment, and replied: "Then what, Huiyu also has the word 'Yu' in her name, you are Xuanji again, is it the relationship between the two of you?" Love token?"

Yuan Qingzhu actually smiled: "No, there is no token between me and her, it was given to me by my master." Song Xiaocheng was really curious, she moved the stool to the side of the bed, and sat obediently. down. "Think I'm a storyteller again?" Yuan Qingzhu teased, and Song Xiaocheng took the opportunity to push her forward and begged her to tell a little bit about Xuanji's origin.

It turned out that this piece of Xuanji jade was her master's treasure. Yuan Qingzhu was blinded by poison in order to save Huiyu's eyes. People, but they are blind and can no longer succeed to the throne.In order to express his distress and make amends, the master gave her this Xuanji as a talisman, and she kept wearing it when she came out to look for Huiyu.

Yuan Qingzhu said the origin lightly, but there was still a faint sense of reluctance and reluctance in his words, and asked: "You are the master's favorite student, then you lost your eyesight and came out to look for... There is no place for that seat." Well, and Badger also said that you were blinded by the poison of Master's enemy, so you only gave a piece of jade as compensation, isn't it a little bit meager?"

The corner of Yuan Qingzhu's mouth trembled slightly, and then she acted calmly: "It's okay, my eyes are like this, so what else can I have for fame and fortune." Even if her performance is indifferent, who can understand that she was blinded by poison What about pain?Song Xiao comforted her: "Woman, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing. There must be a magic medicine that can cure your eyes in such a big world."

Yuan Qingzhu twirled ten slender fingers around, and said quietly: "Do you believe this?" Song Xiaocheng seldom saw her so lonely, and she felt hot in her heart: "I have a strong feeling that your eyes will definitely recover. , This is my sincere words." Yuan Qingzhu smiled slightly, and patted the empty space on the side of the bed, Song Xiaocheng didn't realize what it meant for a while. "You also rest for a while, and go together at night."

Song Xiaocheng didn't expect her to invite her to bed, luckily it was not for nothing.Yuan Qingzhu asked her to crawl to the inside of the bed, and Song Xiaocheng sat down comfortably, and they sat against the headboard of the bed, chatting without saying a word.

Song Xiaocheng only felt comfortable in the whole body, although it was only a single bed, but both of them were very thin and it was not too crowded to sit on.She was quite relieved and said: "The brothel and the villa have saved people. I thought I would come to the eunuch's mansion to save those concubines who married the eunuchs, but the housekeeper said they were jealous. It seems that I don't need to take action." , I will help you find Huiyu together." She hoped that Yuan Qingzhu would be especially grateful to her after hearing this.

Yuan Qingzhu was not happy, and thought for a while: "Not necessarily, it stands to reason that a woman who is so poor that she is about to starve to death has two ways out, one is to sell herself to a brothel, and the other is to marry an inhumane eunuch... Eunuch Liu has ten ways out. It's not unusual for Aunt Fang, but they would actually be jealous of him, so you never thought there was anything wrong with it?"

Song Xiaocheng shook her head: "What's wrong, it's better than Hu Daxian forcing women to suck blood, and as long as they eat well and live well, the eunuchs can't do anything to them, they can still play two tables of mahjong, nothing to do Zhaidou, it’s actually a pretty good day.”

Yuan Qingzhu smiled, and patted her hand unconsciously: "You are still too naive." Song Xiaocheng snorted, and she immediately withdrew her hand, saying that she would close her eyes and rest.

When midnight came, Song Xiaocheng was woken up while half asleep, and Badger was also picked up.Yuan Qingzhu told them to pay attention to their feet in the dark, and the two of them moved at the same time, so they must not get separated.

They jumped out of the window lightly, and climbed onto the roof. There were lanterns hanging under the eaves outside the house, but no candles were lit in any room, and everyone really rested.Song Xiaocheng asked Badger to quickly recall what Huiyu's place looked like.Badger tried to open his eyes wide in the night: "I still have the impression that Huiyu is sitting on the terrace of a small building. There is a pool in front of it, and there are rockery and flowers and plants beside it." Yuan Qingzhu nodded: "Song Xiao Cheng, please be more careful."

The two of them and a badger were running around in the night. The eunuch's mansion was beautifully landscaped, with gurgling streams, ancient trees and beautiful rocks, and the slight chirping of insects could be heard among the vegetation.But it was night after all, and the field of vision was not wide. Song Xiaocheng searched for a long time, but saw three ponds and buildings, and couldn't tell which building Huiyu was in.

One small building is in the east, passing through three flower walls, hidden in the flower and tree forest along the clear stream; the other small building is in the south, with more than ten peach trees planted by the water bank, it is like a small paradise. In summer, there are many sweet and fresh peaches on the trees. The huge iron gate of the small building is very conspicuous, probably the eunuch Liu’s treasury; there is also a long lighted corridor in the west, and the pool in front of the building is lingering.

After running around like this and seeing three matches, Song Xiaocheng asked Yuan Qingzhu if he should check them out one by one, maybe he was right.Yuan Qingzhu nodded and that was all she could do. The moon haloed lightly and the clouds moved softly. She said, "Choose one."

Song Xiaocheng became a little timid: "Tell me to make a decision. I can only choose C when I do multiple-choice questions, which means I choose the third one." Yuan Qingzhu made a quick decision: "Okay, let's go to the west." Song Xiaocheng yelled , She is talking nonsense, Badger jumped into her arms: "Just go there, there is a long corridor, it looks very high-end."

The two of them headed west together. As expected, there were five or six guards on the corridor, but Song Xiaocheng felt relieved. If the beauty wasn't there, why would the guards be so strict?At this moment, the shadow of the moon was fascinated, they walked on the water to avoid people, and the water in the pool trembled and rippled with their footsteps.See this two-story building with a terrace from a distance.Badger whispered that it was very similar to what it saw, and Yuan Qingzhu's pace was faster, urging to lead the way faster.

Song Xiaocheng walked side by side with the badger in her arms, she was also very excited, she finally saw the big beauty in the painting, Yuan Qingzhu's gait clearly revealed her urgency, Song Xiaocheng turned slightly curious Sour feeling: cut, he said that he has nothing to do with her anymore, and if he really wants to meet, he is running fast.

From a distance, I saw a plaque hanging on the main entrance, with the words "Hidden Jade Tower" written on it. After the badger read it again, Yuan Qingzhu's footsteps were obviously lighter. Song Xiaocheng really didn't know whether to be happy or sad, so she chose C out of nowhere. , was right.

Stop near the gate and check the situation first. There are two guards standing at the gate in the dark. Yuan Qingzhu motions to enter through the roof or window, try not to disturb them.Song Xiaocheng understood, and together they found an open window on the side wall with no candles inside, and they slipped in gently.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Song Xiaocheng smelled a strange smell, which was a strange fragrance that she had never smelled before.The room is dark and gloomy, and I can barely see it through the bright stars and moonlight. This is not a bedroom, but an empty room. There is a wooden box like a treasure chest in the middle. I don’t know what is inside, but I can smell it faintly. See some good smells of traditional Chinese medicines such as mugwort leaves and perilla.

"Sure enough, choosing C is wrong. There is only one box here." Song Xiaocheng lowered her voice, "If I knew it, I would have chosen another answer." Yuan Qingzhu said, "It's okay, let's go to another room to have a look."

They quietly went to the other rooms to look around, it was hell, every room was the same as the one just now, with a treasure chest in the middle, smelling of various traditional Chinese medicines, such as ageratum, borneol, magnolia, etc., no room was occupied.

"Isn't Huiyu hidden in this hidden jade building? It seems we have misunderstood." Badger muttered.Yuan Qingzhu agreed and proposed to search in two other places.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Song Xiaocheng suddenly pulled her back, "Woman, don't go, I have a hunch before that your eyes will definitely heal one day. Now that you see so many treasure chests, you still have a heavy heart. The smell of traditional Chinese medicine, could it be that there is some kind of elixir in the eunuch's mansion?"

Yuan Qingzhu didn't respond, and Badger also chimed in: "Yes, since it's here, we can't leave empty, let's take a look." It bears the brunt of running to a treasure chest, tiptoes to push open the lid, unexpectedly There is no lock, and the box shows a gap.Yuan Qingzhu shouted in a low voice: "Don't move, be careful of fraud." Song Xiaocheng stepped forward to help: "It's okay, there is nothing wrong with opening it."

She gently opened the box, "Hey, there are indeed some Chinese herbal medicines in here, but there is a brocade box in the middle... which is a piece of jade." She reached out to take out the jade and looked at the moonlight, feeling very disappointed "I don't know anything about this." The badger also scratched Fuzzy's head and couldn't figure it out. It slipped to the next room and opened the box. There was also a brocade box in the same place, and there was a piece of jade in the box.

Song Xiaocheng sighed in disappointment, put the jade back, and the badger ran out from the darkness, hugged her skirt and shouted in fear: "It's dark, I don't want a badger to rummage through the box, what is this?" Song Xiaocheng repeatedly said that she didn't know. Yuan Qingzhu took the jade, felt the size and shape, and gestured for them to stop: "This is a heng, take a closer look, is there any writing on the side?" name?"

Song Xiaocheng searched carefully in the dark, wishing to have the night vision ability of a cat, and finally saw the engraved words on the inside of the flip cover of the brocade box, which said "Chu Baiheng".

"Is this the name of jade? It sounds very nice." Song Xiaocheng picked it up and looked at it. Yuan Qingzhu asked in a low voice: "This jade is shaped like a weight tree, with small holes hanging down at both ends. You can see if the color is as white as cream. There are traces of red markings on it,?"

Song Xiaocheng took a closer look and said it was right.Yuan Qingzhu asked them to go to the adjacent room to look for any similar but turquoise jade.Song Xiaocheng sneaked into the night with the badger, and came back after a while and exclaimed: "You are amazing, female hero, there is indeed a piece just like it, green in color, with black markings on it."

Yuan Qingzhu whispered: "This is the beautiful jade produced by Chu State during the Warring States Period. The white is Chu Baiheng, and the green is Chu Congheng. The priceless Chu State and Shiheng back then, can it be seen here today?"

Song Xiaocheng felt that her hands were sweating too. It couldn't be that it was a jade from the Warring States period. She could only touch it through the blessings of several lifetimes of cultivation.Yuan Qingzhu said: "These two pieces of jade are a pair, put them back first, and go to see other rooms."

The two of them closed the box together, and went to other rooms. In the treasure box, they also saw some boxed jade stones, including jade teeth, lacquer pens, jade rings, peihuang, etc...they were all worthless. high.Song Xiaocheng's search became more and more vigorous, and she felt a sense of novelty in tomb robbery.
