Strange Tale of Qingluan

Yang Bin turned around and led the two of them through the downtown area to a restaurant, then went upstairs to a corner, where several people were sitting, and those people raised their heads at the same time, their faces were all familiar to Su Zhongming of.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Su Zhongming opened his mouth first, apologizing to everyone.Everyone didn't care at all, and hurriedly asked Su Zhongming to sit down. Su Zhongming chose a seat at random and sat down. He glanced at a big piano box next to Jiang Xiaoyao, and asked, "This box contains the ones that are going to be sent to Hongyan Sect." Pipa, right?"

Jiang Xiaoyao nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. Unlike her, Wen Qian graciously reached out to pick up a bottle of good wine and poured it into several bowls, and distributed it to others.At this time, the food in the big clay pot was already cooked. Everyone put up their chopsticks and stretched them into it at the same time. Some put tofu, some vegetarian dishes, and some meat, and they all began to eat with relish.

Afterwards, Su Zhongming took a sip of wine to warm up, and accidentally mentioned something, "When I first came to that street, I met people from Xiyutai." After hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyao was slightly surprised, and couldn't help saying: "In the past, Master Xue would not send people here. This place is regarded as the territory of the Hongyan Sect, and the two factions have been at odds recently. It stands to reason that it is even more impossible to meet them here. It is really strange."

Ye Shuangshuang held the bowl, chewed for a while, followed suit, but persuaded, "I'm afraid only they know what they came here for, and we can't guess anything, so why don't we eat more now?" Hey, we'll be on our way soon!"

The crowd stopped mentioning the Xiyu Terrace, they just ate and drank, and when they were full, Su Zhongming told the others to go back to their room and wait, while he borrowed a coat from a woman in his company to put it on, followed Jiang Xiaoyao out of the restaurant, and went straight to Confidante teach.

After walking a long way, at the end of a wide and long street, I finally saw the building of Hongyan Sect. Su Zhongming quickly followed Jiang Xiaoyao and reported the big long box for her.Jiang Xiaoyao instructed, "Be careful, this is not an ordinary pipa, but a special weapon of Master Chang."

Su Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and then tightened his grip. He also knew very well in his heart that the instrument made by Changyue was by no means an ordinary musical instrument that was only used for performance.The two climbed up the stone steps and knocked on the door. After a while, the door creaked open, revealing two beautiful faces. One of them shouted, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Xiaoyao replied politely: "If you trouble me, please tell Master Chang that the pipa will be delivered by Tianzun." The girl from the Hongyan sect immediately opened the door and led them to the meeting hall on the building.

Entering the room, one of the women said, "You wait here first, and I will report to the head." Jiang Xiaoyao nodded slightly, and then sat down gently on the armchair next to her.Su Zhongming didn't sit down, but stood holding the long box, and looked left and right, admiring the unique decoration in the room.

After a while, I saw a majestic young woman with a boy's hair in a bun, wearing a light red cross-collared robe and a soft armor jacket, walking in slowly, and then sat in the statue. seat.Jiang Xiaoyao got up and bowed slightly to her, and slightly parted her lips: "I have met Master Chang."

Shang Yanhua stared at the long box in Su Zhongming's hand, stretched out his right hand, and bent his index finger towards him, "Hand over what I want." Su Zhongming stepped forward, and just after three steps, Shang Yanhua drank again. Stop him, "Slow down! Let me take a look at what it looks like first, so you can rest assured."

Jiang Xiaoyao came up, opened the lid of the long box, took out the pipa inside, and personally delivered it to Shang Yanhua, who inspected it carefully before handing it back to Jiang Xiaoyao. After returning the box, Shang Yanhua ordered the female disciple to accept it and take it away.

"As expected of Le Nv Pavilion, I am very satisfied that I can make things so perfect according to my requirements." Shang Yanhua praised him face to face, showing a faint smile.Jiang Xiaoyao just thanked: "Thank you, Master Chang, for your praise." Glancing at her eyebrows secretly, she found that she was happy at the moment, so she took the opportunity to ask: "Master Chang, since the things have been delivered as promised, and they are also in line with your wishes. , I have a request, and I hope that Master Chang will agree."

Shang Yanhua was not surprised at all, as if she had already become used to it, she calmly said: "What request, you can say it." Jiang Xiaoyao replied, "It is my friend who wants to ask the leader of Chang, but it is a very small matter. If this matter makes Master Chang unhappy, I hope Master Shang will forgive him for the sake of Le Nv Pavilion."

Shang Yanhua looked at Su Zhongming, and opened his mouth to ask, "What do you want from me, little girl?" Su Zhongming was aggrieved for a while, and in a low voice, imitated a woman's tone and replied: "I want to ask Master Chang about the way to Xuanxiu Valley Hearing this, Shang Yanhua hesitated a little, and asked him: "That's not a place where ordinary people can go, what are you, an ordinary woman, doing there?"

Su Zhongming replied, "I have a disease, even the best doctor can't cure it. I heard that there is an expert in that place who is more powerful than a genius doctor. I want to ask him to cure my strange disease." Shang Yanhua laughed , "He is my master's best friend, but the two elders never like to be disturbed by outsiders. Tell me your name and see if I can help you."

"En!" Su Zhongming nodded, and then the disciple of Hongyan Sect brought the paper and ink pen. He picked up the pen and wrote the three words 'Su Xiaowei' on the paper.The female disciple handed the paper to Shang Yanhua for her to look at it, Shang Yanhua glanced at it and said, "So your surname is also Su?"

Su Zhongming was a little puzzled, and asked: "Master Chang is so surprised. Could it be that he knows many people with the surname Su?" Remember, that person is called Su Zhongming... is his enemy."

When she said that name, she gritted her teeth involuntarily, hatred quietly surfaced from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't notice it.When Su Zhongming heard the end of the sentence, he was slightly stunned, and couldn't help blurting out: "He Xiao mentioned me to you?"

As soon as the words fell, he realized that he had unintentionally revealed his original male voice, but it was too late, his real voice had already been heard by Shang Yanhua.

The woman who had experienced many hardships quickly became vigilant, and quietly clenched her fists, "Are you a man...? Are you the one named Su Zhongming?" Her tone became severe, "Tell me, is it!"

In front of him, the fire could not be wrapped in paper, so Su Zhongming had no choice but to admit it, and responded: "Yes. The Su Zhongming that Master Chang said is indeed me, but..." Before he could explain, Shang Yanhua drew his sword and Jumping up, he quickly rushed to him, pointed at him with a sharp knife, sharp eyes, and said in a strict voice: "How dare you come! How dare you come to see me!"

"Master Chang, listen to my explanation, I..." Su Zhongming insisted on explaining, but the angry woman in front of her didn't want to hear anything he said, so she raised her sword and stabbed at him immediately.Seeing this, Su Zhongming hurriedly took a few steps back, and tore off the woman's coat on his body. Seeing the sharp sword point piercing the air, he had no choice but to draw out the Qiu Xue sword, and blocked it with all his strength.

Seeing that the two sides were fighting, Jiang Xiaoyao hurried forward, trying to persuade Shang Yanhua, "Shang Yanhua, even if there is a grievance, you should not take revenge at this time! Please stop!" Shang Yanhua squinted at her, bit her Gritting his teeth, he suddenly put his sword back and said to Su Zhongming, "Su Zhongming! For the sake of Le Nv Pavilion today, I will spare you for the time being, and get out of here immediately! You are not welcome in the Confidante Church!" After saying that, turn around.

Su Zhongming lowered his Qiu Xue sword, took a step forward, and insisted on asking, "Please tell me the road to Xuanxiu Valley!" Shang Yanhua lowered his head slightly, and replied ruthlessly: "You should give up! I won't tell you Yes!" Turning around, pointing at him, he said sternly again, "Get out of here immediately!"

"Master Chang, we can have a good discussion!" Su Zhongming said anxiously.Like a snow leopard, Shang Yanhua yelled in a stern voice, "Get out!" Su Zhongming had no choice but to put his sword back into its sheath, picked up the woman's coat that fell on the ground, turned around and walked away disappointed.

Shang Yanhua thought for a while, then suddenly changed his mind, and shouted: "Wait a minute! I can discuss it with you, but you have to agree to my request!" Su Zhongming turned around when he heard this, "What request? What do you say? "Shang Yanhua faced him, "I want you... to return Tianli to me! I want you to persuade him to come back!"

Zitianli is He Xiao's alias...Su Zhongming understood it very well, so he simply agreed, "Okay! But, I don't know where he is now." Shang Yanhua replied, "I know! He likes to stay in the place of debauchery If you go to Xiangdong Pavilion in Dongzhou, you should be able to find him, if you can't bring him back, don't come to see me!"

Su Zhongming turned his head, continued to walk forward, took Jiang Xiaoyao out of the conference hall, and left the Beauty Sect.On the street, Jiang Xiaoyao asked, "City Master Su wants to go to Dongzhou now?" Su Zhongming replied, "No, let's go back to the restaurant first!" Jiang Xiaoyao followed him and returned to the restaurant along the road with him.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Yang Bin was the first to ask, "The matter was successfully completed?" Su Zhongming shook his head, Wen Qian was taken aback when she saw this, and guessed to herself, "Rejected?" Su Zhongming replied, "She wants me to go to a restaurant?" Find someone somewhere, as long as you bring him to her, she will tell me the way to Xuanxiu Valley."

Wen Qian said 'oh', and then Yang Bin answered, "Where are you going to find someone?" Su Zhongming replied, "Go to Dongzhou, the person you are looking for is in Xiangdong Pavilion." Yang Bin was slightly surprised, and blurted out: "What? ! That big light building?!" Even so, but after that moment, his eyebrows danced again.

Yitian was puzzled, and interjected: "Why did that person stay in Qinglou? Why did Master Chang ask Teacher, you go to Qinglou to find that person and bring her back?"

Yang Bin lightly touched the top of his head, and said to him, "It must be a pair of confidante friends, and then they got angry with each other because of certain things. But now, maybe one of them has forgiven the other, so he wants to find him." come back?"

Su Zhongming didn't know the real answer, so he chose to remain silent.Yan Ying listened for a while, and then made a judgment, "Running to a place like Qinglou on purpose, that person must be very cool."

"Well... Dongzhou is a long way from here, and it's getting late now, let's rest for a night first, and I'll go to Dongzhou to find someone tomorrow night." Su Zhongming opened his lips again.As soon as he finished speaking, he was objected by Gong He, "Xiangdong Pavilion is not an ordinary light building. The city lord should be very clear that going there rashly may be dangerous, so the city lord should think twice."

Su Zhongming replied, "I've thought about this issue too. I won't go alone. When the time comes, I want you and Yang Bin to go with me. If they want to make a move, they can handle it."

Yang Bin and Gong He looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and then went back to their rooms.In the early morning of the next day, Su Zhongming and the two of them borrowed horses and hurried to Dongzhou, and did not arrive at the destination until dusk.

They temporarily handed over the horses to the post station, walked to the gate of Xiangdong Pavilion where people come in and out, looked up at the plaque hanging on the high place, then walked in, and just stepped into the vestibule inside the gate , I happened to meet the young old Bao who was also dressed up in fancy dress.

"It's you!?" Luo Ying, the old security guard of Xiangdong Pavilion, was startled when she saw Su Zhongming, and after a while, her brows became happy again, "I invited you to come last time, but you didn't come, but today you came here by yourself! Why, Figured out?"

Su Zhongming was very calm, and replied: "You are mistaken, I am here to find someone, not to cast myself into a trap." Luoying laughed loudly, and said: "You only brought two people, obviously outnumbered, And you said you didn’t throw yourself into a trap!” Su Zhongming got a little angry, pointed at her and said, “I’ll say it again, I’m here to find someone!”

Luo Ying squinted at him and asked, "Who are you looking for? This is Qinglou, and there are only girls here. City Lord Su is feeling lonely. Do you come to me to find a girl to relieve your loneliness?" Words always carry a fine-tuned charm or charm.

Yang Bin on the side couldn't help but say: "Yes, it's fine, but it's a pity that it's not, so stop being so sentimental, and call out the person we are looking for!" Luo Ying glanced at him, hummed softly, and said proudly : "How much weight do you think you have? Dare to shout here! Tell you, you are here today, no one will leave!"

"Then give it a try!" Yang Bin blurted out his brains but was extremely brave.Su Zhongming held out his hand to stop him, and said to Luo Ying, "The person I'm looking for is He Xiao, you call him out." When Luo Ying heard the name, her face immediately changed, "What are you looking for? The boy is now addicted to drinking and watching the sunset all day long, and the old lady's teeth are itching to kick him out!"

"It has nothing to do with you, you call him out." Su Zhongming didn't intend to say too much with her, but only lightly.Luoying was proud again, and made a condition, "You want to see that kid, it's very easy! Come with me to see the boss, I guarantee you can see him every day!"
