Qining was surprised when he saw Tang Nuo mixing in the crowd on the street from the window.
After Tang Nuo came to Beijing, her life had always been very regular. Although she lived in the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion was no different from an inn to her. She would rush to Yong'an Hall early every morning and spend the whole day in Yong'an Hall for consultation. At dusk, he would return to the Hou Mansion and devote himself to studying medicine.
Precisely because Tang Nuo was used to this kind of life, Qining would never easily disrupt her regular life.
But at the moment, it stands to reason that Tang Nuo has returned to the Marquis Mansion a long time ago and will never wander around outside. Tang Nuo is a celibate person who likes quietness and never likes the excitement. He walks through the streets with people coming and going, unless he has to. , otherwise it would never be in line with Tang Nuo's temperament.
Seeing Tang Nuo at this time, Qining felt very strange.
He saw that Tang Nuo was staring ahead, not walking very fast, and seemed to be staring at someone. Qining felt strange, and couldn't help but slowly move his eyes forward. Soon, he understood that there was nothing in front of Tang Nuo. About ten steps away, a young man in brocade clothes was walking proudly among the crowd.
The young man in brocade clothes was not tall. He was mixed in the crowd, looking left and right, but not paying attention to what was behind him. Qining only looked at the figure of the man, and immediately saw that it was the little witch Anao. The cunning and weird little witch was dressed like a young master. , swaggering on the street, Qining suddenly frowned.
At this time, he already understood that Yong'an Hall was by the Qinhuai River. Tang Nuo did not return home on time today. He probably discovered the traces of the little demon girl, so he followed her.
Tang Nuo and the Little Demon Girl have a close relationship. Not only are their masters brothers, but they are both from the Black Lotus Sect, and they are both Black Lotus Holy Envoys. The Little Demon Girl has always been at odds with Tang Nuo. Tang Nuo discovered that the Little Demon Girl was in the capital. Anao's traces clearly indicate that he wants to see what this little demon girl wants to do.
Although the little enchantress is dressed in brocade and looks as fair as jade, there are already many wealthy young men on the Qinhuai River, and there are so many young men in brocade and gorgeous clothes, naturally no one will pay special attention to her.
This time Jiuxi Poison King Zhuo Qianyi brought Xiao Anao to the capital and learned about the rebellion of the Black Lotus Sect Duan Qingchun, so Zhuo Qianyi is now looking for the whereabouts of Duan Qingchen. Zhuo Qianyi said that Duan Qingchen is as lustful as life, as long as he is in Searching on the Qinhuai River, traces of Duan Qingchen could always be found. Thinking of this, Qining immediately understood that Xiao Anao appeared by the Qinhuai River, probably looking for Duan Qingchen.
Qi Ning did not waste any time and quickly went downstairs. When Qi Feng saw Qi Ning coming down, he hurriedly greeted him. Qi Ning was worried about losing Tang Nuo and whispered: "You go back to the house first." He didn't explain much. Shape is like the wind and quickly goes out the door.
When he went downstairs, he had already identified Tang Nuo's location. At this time, he looked for it and mixed in the crowd. Sure enough, he found that Tang Nuo was not far ahead. He followed him from a distance, neither getting too close to Tang Nuo nor getting too close to Tang Nuo. Keep Tang Nuo within his sight.
People were coming and going, and little Anao didn't notice Tang Nuo's presence, and Tang Nuo also didn't notice Qin Ning following him.
After walking along the Qinhuai River for a while, Qi Ning suddenly noticed that Tang Nuo was moving quickly and quickly hid under a big willow tree by the river. Knowing that something had changed, Qi Ning quickly hid under a nearby tree. Behind the willow tree, there were crowds of people. He was a little far away, and he couldn't see clearly what Anau was doing there for a while, but Tang Nuo was hiding behind the tree, and there was a high probability that he had something to do with little Anau.
After a while, he saw Tang Nuo walking out from behind the tree and continuing to walk forward. Qi Ning followed. When he saw that Tang Nuo had only walked forward for a short distance, he stopped and looked towards the river. Qi Ning followed. Tang Nuo looked over and saw that little Anao had boarded a small boat and was heading towards the river.
Qi Ning frowned slightly and saw that Ye Qingzhou was quickly approaching a painting boat. The painting boat was also very gorgeous. It had three floors. There was a circle of red lanterns hanging under the eaves of each floor. The lanterns were all hung up, so It looked unusually bright, but the bow of the boat was crowded with people. A large group of people had gathered. Looking from the river bank, one could vaguely see a woman holding a pipa on the second floor facing the bow. Playing and singing at the same time, the sweet singing voice came from far away.
Qining is quite familiar with the Qinhuai River and knows that the girls on the Qinhuai River are all skilled in singing and dancing. They are not like the young ladies in the clubs of later generations who can open their legs and do business.
The girl who painted the boat will show off her talent every day. After the guests on the boat appreciate the girl's talent, they will each contribute money. It is not the one who contributes the most money who can spend the spring night with the girl. The girl who paints the boat has absolute freedom to follow the guests. Select the guest of honor.
It was still early at this time, so the girls on the boat were all showing off their talents to attract guests to board the boat and watch.
The painted boats on the Qinhuai River are different from ordinary boats. They have a wide bow and a narrow stern. When night falls, dozens of tables and chairs will be placed on the bow, and drinks and snacks will also be provided to the guests.
There were many guests on the painted boat that the little demon girl boarded, which showed that the girl was indeed very popular. Everyone was attracted by the girl's beautiful pipa sound and melodious singing voice, and did not care about the newcomers boarding the boat.
Qining saw the little demon girl boarding the boat, and then turned to look at Tang Nuo. He saw Tang Nuo standing under the tree, looking at the boat from a distance, looking thoughtful.
Qining didn't know what Tang Nuo was thinking right now, but the little demon girl was able to board the ship, but it was obviously inconvenient for Tang Nuo at the moment.
Although the little enchantress is a girl, she is dressed as a young man, and Tang Nuo wears a simple and elegant dress. If she gets on the boat, she will definitely become the object of everyone's attention. After all, there are many boats, but no one will get on the boat. It is a man. It is extremely rare for a female guest to board a boat on the Qinhuai River.
He didn't know what Tang Nuo was thinking. After a while, Qi Ning saw Tang Nuo turn around. Qi Ning immediately hid behind a tree. Tang Nuo seemed to be preoccupied with his thoughts and didn't pay attention to Qi Ning. He walked slowly and passed by. He walked around the big willow tree, waited for Tang Nuo to pass the willow tree, and then turned behind Tang Nuo. He saw Tang Nuo walking back the same way, and he didn't know if he was going back to the Marquis Mansion.
Qi Ning looked at Tang Nuo, then at the painted boat over there, followed Tang Nuo for a few steps, but stopped and looked at the painted boat again.
Qining knew that Tang Nuo was a thoughtful girl. Although she looked weak, if she really wanted to take action, with her ability, even three or five big men might not be able to get close to her. With her wisdom and martial arts, ordinary people really couldn't. If there is any threat to her, if she really wants to return home, I really don't have to worry about her.
But the little witch suddenly appeared on the Qinhuai River tonight and boarded the boat. Qining always felt that it was not a coincidence, and wanted to see what the little witch was up to.
He pondered for a moment, then blended into the crowd, found a rather secluded alley, got in, and after making sure no one came in, he took out a few masks from his body.
These masks were given by Zhong Ya, one of the best disguise masters in the world today. They are extremely precious. Because of their convenience, Qi Ning always keeps them with him in case of emergency. He is already very familiar with these masks. He took out the third one, put the rest in his arms, looked around again to make sure there was no one, and then carefully put the mask on his face.
Zhong Ya specially made these masks for Qi Ning, taking into account Qining's ease of use, so putting on the masks is very simple, and the materials are special. Once put on, the masks quickly bond with the skin. If you are not a master, it will be very difficult for you to wear them. It's hard to tell that he's wearing a mask.
This mask is that of a young man who looks to be in his mid-twenties, not very handsome, but very attractive. This was specially made by Zhong Ya, so each mask is not too eye-catching. .
Coming out of the alley, Qining went straight to the river, summoned a small boat, and boarded the boat to go to the little demon girl's boat.
When Qining arrived at the boat, the waiters on the boat had already come to greet him. Qining boarded the boat, so naturally no one noticed. The chairs placed at the bow were already occupied, and there were still many people standing behind. The enchantress also stood on the edge, staring at the girl playing the pipa on the second floor.
Qi Ning glanced around, then stood in the crowd and looked at the little demon girl from the corner of his eye. The little demon girl was completely unaware.
The girl's skills were indeed good. When the pipa song ended, there was a roar of applause. The girl stood up and saluted the guests. At this time, someone shouted: "Miss Caihe, let's play your best song "Hua Man Yue". ”, that song was sung well, and it also made everyone appreciate it.”
Caihe smiled lightly, sat down again, hugged the pipa, and played with her slender fingers. The beautiful sound of the pipa filled the air, and then her sweet voice sang again.
Although the song was beautiful, Qining had no intention to appreciate it. He always paid attention to the little witch. He secretly thought that this little witch would not have the leisure and elegance to come to the Qinhuai River to listen to the music. While he was thinking about it, he saw the little witch suddenly appeared. Turning his head, Qining immediately looked forward, paying attention only with the corner of his eye.
The little demon girl also glanced at Qining, but did not stop. Apparently she saw that everyone's thoughts were on the Caihe girl. She quietly approached the side of the ship and moved slowly along the side of the ship towards the cabin. past.
Qi Ning sneered inwardly, thinking that the little witch had indeed had another purpose when boarding the boat, and she was not acting rashly. The little witch moved slowly, and after a moment she moved to the cabin, and then followed the corridor between the side of the ship and the cabin. Moving toward the stern of the ship, Qi Ning moved over quietly at this time. When he reached the side of the ship, he pretended to look over there casually. He saw the little enchantress, like a cat, moving briskly. She had already passed the cabin and ducked over. Over there at the stern.
Qining didn't know what the little demon girl wanted. He glanced at the group of guests. No one paid attention to him. No one cared about the little demon girl when she left. At that moment, she quietly moved along the side of the ship to the back. Miss Caihe was fully focused. While they played and sang, the guests stared at Miss Caihe intently. The little demon girl and Qining left one after another, and no one was aware of it.
