General's humble stand-in
Chapter 49
It was the General's Mansion who came out to look for Tao Zhuo's guards.
When he heard that Tao Zhuo had escaped from Fengmingxuan, Princess Pingnan was very angry, and immediately gave orders to the guards in the mansion, and immediately beat him to death and dragged him to the mass grave after he found it.
Since they couldn't show off, a few guards dragged Tao Zhuo into a remote alley, and they combined their fists and kicks to land on Tao Zhuo with no effort left.
Tao Zhuo lay curled up on the ground, holding his head in his hands and curled up into a ball.A dense mass of pain fell down, and the dust that was rolled up was mixed with the smell of blood.
"Stinky boy, the brothers who killed you are looking for you day and night. You say that it is not good for you to offend anyone, offend our young lady. Don't blame us for being cruel. If you want to blame, blame you for not knowing good and bad, and not knowing what is good. Look at who I am, I really think that after staying with our general for a few days, I will fly to the top of the branch? What is it, is the general's mansion clinging to you and other little bastards?"
Those voices buzzed in my ears, more painful than fists and feet falling on my body.
At this time, above the eaves, two shadow guards in black saw everything in their eyes.
That night, the person who pretended to die was about to go down to help, but he was grabbed by his side.
"Xiaohua, wait a minute."
The tense muscles on the man's face twitched twice, he turned around and grabbed the other man's collar, "Yue Wuhen, you are looking for death."
"Master Ling gave it to you, not me." Yue Wuhen explained helplessly, her cheeks flushed from being strangled.
"Master Ling can call, but you can't."
"Okay, Xuancang Xuancang." Yue Wuhen pointed to the beaten Tao Zhuo below, "Hurry up, I'll be beaten to death in a while."
Loosening Yue Wuhen's collar, Feng Xuancang was about to fly down the eaves, but was held back.
"If you go on like this, the kid will recognize you at a glance, take off your clothes."
Feng Xuancang could only feel the veins on his forehead twitching non-stop, if it wasn't for Master Ling pressing down on him, he really wanted to play a game of cannibalism and chop up Yue Wuhen who suffered a thousand knives.
Not long after, two masked men descended from the sky, one of them was wearing a sleeveless robe very stylishly.
Just in a blink of an eye, several guards of the General's Mansion were beaten to pieces.
"Who? We know that we belong to the General's Mansion. This is a private matter of the General's Mansion." The head guard had a loud voice, but his trembling figure betrayed his pretended strength.
Xuan Cang gave a cold snort of disdain, "Not to mention your General's Mansion, even if you add Pingnan Prince's Mansion, our Master Ling will not pay attention to it."
Tao Zhuo, who was beaten to the point of fainting, struggled to open his eyes, the blood on his forehead was sliding down onto his curled eyelashes, smudged into a red blur.
Master Ling?In Tao Zhuo's mind, the man who was as beautiful as an evildoer appeared.
The guards of the palace didn't know who they were talking about, Master Ling, "Who are you? You have the ability to leave a name."
Xuancang embraced his arms, with his toes high and high, "My father, I will change my name and sit down, and I will not change my surname."
Wuhen squinted at Feng Xuancang from the corner of his eyes, showing a bit of contempt.
And he can't expose him, so he has to lie together and pretend to be with his grandson.Wuhen nodded and said, "Yes, his name is Wumingshi, and I'm Shiwuming." Knowing that they were perfunctory, but their fist and kick skills were not as good as others, he had to say a harsh word, you wait, and fled away.
—Tong turned around and looked at Tao Zhuo, only to see that his eyelashes moved slightly and his eyes blinked slightly, he was still alive.The two breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and then flew away tacitly.
The sun is westward, and the afterglow is very warm, but it cannot penetrate the cold stone wall in the alley, and only casts a shadow to cover Taozhuo in the dark.
Touching the dust on the ground lightly with blood-stained fingers, Tao Zhuo still maintained that defensive posture lying on the ground, his eyes were as empty as a pool of stagnant water.
After a long time, Taozhuo stood up with difficulty, clenched his hands tightly into fists.
You want me to die, but I want to live...
Fengmingxuan is still prosperous, rich and powerful come and go, romantic and elegant.
Hong Zhao was greeting the guests, when he looked up by chance and saw a dirty Taozhuo at the door.He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and greeted him like a flower.
"Little thing, why are you back? Life outside is not easy, right?"
There was a sneer in the words, Tao Zhuo lowered his head in embarrassment.Mustering up some courage, he whispered, "I want to see you, Master Ling."
After finally waiting for him to regain consciousness, Hong Zhao will not be in trouble, "Okay, you go upstairs and wait, eat something and wash your body, I will send someone to inform Master Ling."
The red felt is laid over the stairs of pineapple wood, which has a soft texture when stepped on.The prostitutes who laughed at every occasion walked by, leaving a strong fragrance of powder in the air.The chattering and laughing guests walked by, reeking of alcohol and a bit of obscenity.
Tao Zhuo paused, then looked up to the end of the stairs.Since then, I can't help myself, just to live.
That night, he didn't see Young Master Ling, and Tao Zhuo lay on the soft bed, which was rarely stable.It's just that Gu Yan's leaving back and Shen Feng's jumping figure kept appearing in the dream, Tao Zhuo went into convulsions several times, and was so frightened by the nightmare that his temples and hair were drenched in cold sweat.
The next day, when I opened my eyes, I heard the sound of rainwater hitting the window screen.
Looking down the window, I suddenly saw two little rabbits in a cage in the backyard.Because there was nowhere to shelter from the rain, the two fleshy little things cuddled together.Suddenly, he remembered the pair of porcelain rabbits that he had given to Gu Yan, as if he hadn't seen them since he returned to the General's Mansion, maybe they were left in a corner by Gu Yan.After all, he didn't care, unlike the jade pendant left by Mo Zizhi, he took care of it like a treasure.
With a hint of sadness in his eyes, Tao Zhuo let out a soft breath and discarded those unhappy memories.Then he put on his clothes and walked downstairs quickly.
Carefully taking the two little rabbits out of the cage, feeling them trembling all over, Taozhuo comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to find a place to shelter from the rain."
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a shout from behind, "Put it down."
Tao Zhuo was taken aback, turned around and saw Master Ling in a purple costume standing in the rain with a purple umbrella.The rain was hazy, but it couldn't hide his alluring face.
"What are you going to do to my little red and little green?" Young Master Ling asked.
Little Red?Little green?Tao Zhuo looked down at the two snow-white rabbits in his arms, and twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, what a good name.
"I just want to find a place for them to shelter from the rain." Taozhuo explained softly.
"Trouble." Young Master Ling walked past Tao Zhuo, and snorted coldly, "Why avoid the rain, I will eat rabbit meat in two days."
Stuffing two little rabbits into the chicken coop, chickens flew and rabbits jumped inside.Tao Zhuo couldn't care less, and quickly followed Young Master Ling up the stairs.
The clothes that had been drenched in the rain felt a little uncomfortable on the body, Tao Zhuo lowered his head and rushed to wipe away the contaminated water droplets, and wiped the wet hair on his forehead.
Suddenly, her waist tightened, and someone pulled her into her arms from behind.Those hands were cool, and there was a slight chill on Tao Zhuo's waist.
The smile on Young Master Ling's lips was soft, he approached Tao Zhuo's ear gently, and said in an ambiguous tone, "I heard Hong Zhao said that you were looking for me, but you missed me? I was thinking of you too, it's strange to say , there is no beauty in Fengmingxuan, but I have taken a fancy to your little appearance."
After speaking, he blew hot air on Tao Zhuo's earlobe, and the hairs all over Tao Zhuo's body stood up.In a panic, he pushed the person behind him away, Xu did not expect Tao Zhuo to struggle, Young Master Ling took two steps back unprepared, his shoulder blade hit the door frame, he frowned slightly in pain .
Almost instantly, a black shadow flew in from the window.Before Tao Zhuo could react, someone had already locked his throat and blocked all his breathing.
"Who allowed you to come in?" Young Master Ling said with displeasure in his eyes, "Get out."
While coming and going, that figure was so fast that Tao Zhuo didn't see his face clearly, if it wasn't for the faint pain in his throat, there would be no trace of other people coming in the room.
Young Master Ling sat on the birch chair, raised his hand to pour a cup of tea, and asked Tao Zhuo with a calm face, "What do you want from me?"
This change of face also became too fast, and Tao Zhuo became more and more convinced that Young Master Ling had a weird temper and could not be provoked.
After hesitating for a moment, Tao Zhuo gritted his teeth and said with determination, "I, I want to stay in Fengmingxuan."
"This matter is under Hong Zhao's control." Young Master Ling sipped his tea, his expression still calm.
"I know." Tao Zhuo lightly licked his lips, and said softly, "I have something to ask you."
"Say."
"I, I..." Tao Zhuo's cheeks were flushed, but he didn't know how to say it. He hesitated for a long time and saw that Young Master Ling was getting impatient. Tao Zhuo closed his eyes and blurted out, "I just I want to pick up distinguished guests."
Young Master Ling raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Your Majesty is honorable, do you accept?"
Tao Zhuo lowered his eyes, exhausted his courage, and now he looked helpless again.And there are still scars on his face, looking like a poor little girl who was bullied by Young Master Ling.
"Why do you only accept those with high status?"
Hearing his question, Tao Zhuo looked up at Young Master Ling, and explained softly, "That's right, I just don't want to be inferior to the General's Mansion."
Young Master Ling raised his lips and sneered, "You're still very high-spirited. Looking at the entire Shengjing, there are few who can compare to the General's Mansion."
Seeing that Tao Zhuo twisted his sleeves and did not speak, and there was a thin film of water in his eyes, Young Master Ling did not want to embarrass him anymore.
"Forget it, you learn the rules from Hong Zhao first, if one day you become our Fengmingxuan's number one, Gu Yan won't be able to reach you."
Tao Zhuo was stunned, Gu Yan was a first-rank general in the imperial court, and his family inherited the titles from generation to generation, and Gu Yan's father had already been granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan.How could he become that kid in Young Master Ling's mouth...
Suddenly I remembered what I vaguely heard today, that the General's Mansion plus the Pingnan Prince's Mansion would not come into the eyes of our Master Ling.Tao Zhuo looked curiously at the feminine and seductive man in front of him, really couldn't figure out what his identity was, but if he had a noble status, why did he open a brothel in Shengjing?
The so-called learning rules are to exercise the body every day. Hong Zhao said that in this line of work, the body must be soft so that it can bear various postures.I also need to practice my voice, saying that the sound of screaming on the bed is so captivating.You have to learn how to recite poems, sing songs while drinking, and even laugh when you see people.
Because of the strength in his heart, Tao Zhuo is willing to work hard to learn everything, but after dozens of days, he is already looking good.
The night covered the sky and the earth, Master Ling, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten days, came again, and brought some scrolls specially for Tao Zhuo.
Yuan Taozhuo thought it was those poems and songs again, but after opening it, his face became ugly instantly, and he clasped the scroll in his hand on the table with a "snap".
Stealing curses, "shameless."
When he heard that Tao Zhuo had escaped from Fengmingxuan, Princess Pingnan was very angry, and immediately gave orders to the guards in the mansion, and immediately beat him to death and dragged him to the mass grave after he found it.

"Xiaohua, wait a minute."
The tense muscles on the man's face twitched twice, he turned around and grabbed the other man's collar, "Yue Wuhen, you are looking for death."
"Master Ling gave it to you, not me." Yue Wuhen explained helplessly, her cheeks flushed from being strangled.
