Zhou Xiaoxiao woke up from her sleep,
She came back from Transmigration, these few days, she always woke up to dawn,
Never walk in a dream and know the soul and soul.
Zhou Xiaoxiao once thought that this could no longer be done.
Who knew that she was in a dream just now, and in a trance, she came to a dim cell,
The cell was full of filthy, muddy water.
Xingzhi stood in the water, tied to a post.
know,
He is crying.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart surged with anger,
She rolled out of bed, put on her clothes,
Knocked on the door of Yu Xingyong and Cheng Shizhao.
The three sat around.
After listening to her narration,
Cheng Shizhao asked in surprise,
"You said you saw Xingzhi locked in a water prison? How did you see that?"
"Well, I can't explain this for a while, but I'm sure he is locked in a water prison. The water prison should be set up underground. Inside, you can see a skylight on the top, vaguely revealing the shape of some rockery on the ground."
"There is no need to ask more about this." Yu Xingyong raised his hand slightly. "The fifth brother said earlier that there are many differences between the younger brother and the younger sister from ordinary people. Today, I will believe it."
Cheng Shizhao looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao's completely changed face,
I thought in my heart, yes, she can come back to life and appear in front of us in a new face. What is this little thing.
No wonder the eldest princess said that she was not from this world.
He suddenly felt some hairs stand upright on his back,
I dare not think about it any further.
Cheng Shizhao took out a brief topographic map of the house,
Spread out on the table.
"Zigui must be detained in this general's mansion at the moment. This picture is roughly drawn by the businessman Luo Tong based on his memory. It's just that this mansion covers a vast area, and the map is very simple, and it is impossible to see where the water prison is hidden. We need to do more. survey."
The three gathered around the map, each thinking about it.
Since the meeting on the fire that day, the three led carefully selected elite players to break them into pieces, and carefully followed the traces left by Yu Xingzhi all the way to Taiyuan, Shanxi.
The enemy was very vigilant and guarded closely, not only did they not find a safe time to save people along the way.
Also nearly broke the trail a few times.
Until Taiyuan, came to Yelu Xiu Ge's base camp.
Brother Yeluxiu and others stopped and imprisoned Xingzhi in the general's mansion, which allowed them to find a breakthrough.
This breakthrough came from a businessman named Luotong,
This person travels back and forth between Jin and Liao for many years, doing some fur business.
He has a lady like Lin Qiushui.
Coincidentally, due to some opportunities, I begged Yelu Xiu to be a concubine, and often went to the mansion to bring some exquisite brocades and new toys to the wives and young ladies in the mansion.
When Cheng Shizhao and others left the capital, just in case, they asked Cheng Shiqi to compile a list of the merchants he was familiar with, especially those Han merchants who often traveled to and from the key cities of Khitan.
After arriving in Taiyuan, Yu Xingyong found Luotong, and under heavy coercion, he used his net for his own use.
"Is this Luotong reliable?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked.
Cheng Shizhao narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, "He is from the vicinity of Kyoto, and I have ordered someone to hold his parents and children's equipment in my hands, so that I am not afraid of what he will do."
Yu Xingyong added: "The businessman pays great attention to profits. I promise him that as long as the conditions are comparable, we will give priority to purchasing military wool materials from him. As long as he is not stupid, he should do his best for me."
As he was talking, the servant told him, and Luo Tong asked to see him.
As soon as Na Luotong entered the door, he lay down on the ground and kowtowed a few times to Cheng Shizhao and Yu Xingyong.
Seeing the two nobles, sitting beside a beautiful young grandma, no matter who it is, they saluted together first.
Luo Tong was called to the door by Cheng Shizhao and others,
There was a lot of unease in my heart.
If these people wanted to seize people from the residence of the Great General Yelu, it would be tantamount to pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth and taking chestnuts from the fire, which was extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, I am afraid that my own life will be confessed.
I feel sorry that I am from the Jin country, and my family is in the suburbs of Kyoto.
These two were ruthless, and the parents Jiao Er of the family were all held in their hands by them.
I have a hard time saying that I have to obey.
But then again, if it can happen this time, it will be hugging the thighs of Prince Yan's residence and the Duke's residence.
Between the fingers of these two big men, just a little bit of slag leaked out, and it was enough for their own success.
It is said that wealth is at risk.
Thinking of this, Luo Tong felt itching in his heart without realizing it, his blood was boiling, and he could not wait to show his loyalty now.
"The villain found out the news. Although this Yelu dog thief has married a concubine of about ten houses, he may have committed too much sin and gave birth to only daughters. Only the wife of the main house has a young son who is seventeen years old. He was regarded as a treasure by Brother Yelu Xiu. He was named Yelu Abao."
"It's a pity that this person is weak in urination, and he doesn't know the martial arts skills of bowing and horses. He is only raised in the mansion to spend his days leisurely. He has only one hobby. He likes painting and calligraphy. The concubine sent him a copy of the picture of the family's female history, and he couldn't put it down, so I searched for the real one and made an appointment to meet on another day."
When Zhou Xiaoxiao heard this, his eyes turned, his mind came to his mind, and he turned to Yu Xingyong and said: "Sir, the water prison where Xingzhi is imprisoned must be heavily guarded and difficult to attack. But if we can make money out of this young master Yelu, In exchange for hostages, I wonder if it is feasible?"
Yu Xingyong looked at her for a moment, then nodded.
He said to Luo Cheng: "In this way, you can arrange it, and let your Mrs. Ru take me here... This subordinate, enter the mansion and see the truth. It would be best if you could lure that young master out of the mansion by chance. Send someone outside the house to respond. There is no need to worry about the cost of this matter, I will give you a thousand taels of gold to use."
…
Luo Cheng's wife, surnamed Lin, named Qiushui.
Quick-witted and eloquent.
Since she married Luo and became a concubine, she followed her husband to the south and the north,
They often walk in the homes of these Khitan nobles, selling precious goods from the south.
Years of experience made her handle these noble wives with ease.
Gradually, he gained some fame, and he also gained a little face when walking on a daily basis.
Therefore, although Luo Cheng is getting older, Luo Cheng still does not take the concubine beside him when he goes out, but always takes her by his side.
However, this time, the big thing her husband was going to do made her feel uneasy.
At this moment, she lowered her head and walked on the path in General Yelu's mansion, her heart pounding.
And the young lady who was following her seemed unusually calm.
The little lady was wearing an ordinary dress, holding the goods in her hands, pretending to be her maid, and following behind her without any rush.
Round eyes, looking around without a trace.
Obviously in the environment of the Memorable Mansion.
Sometimes, she even got close to the maid who led the way in the mansion: "Sister, your general mansion is like a heavenly palace, and it's so beautiful. I'm fascinated by it. Oh, look, that rockery is really handsome."
The maid smiled and said: "The little hoof that I have never seen in the world, there is the front yard, the important military place where the general handles official business, not to mention you, even we will not let in and out casually. If you accidentally break in, If you lost your life, don't blame my sister for not reminding you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao pulled her affectionately to thank her, and stuffed a packet of osmanthus candy from Wangfulou in her sleeve. He quickly became acquainted with the maid.
Under her influence, Lin Qiushui slowly regained her composure.
She remembered Luo Cheng's promise to her,
If it happens, put yourself right.
The deceased first wife's family would not dare to offend those two nobles.
Thinking of this, she didn't panic, her legs didn't tremble, she raised her head and walked towards the yard of Young Master Yelu with Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Yelu Abao turned over the silk painting brought by Lin Qiushui with great interest.
"It's wonderful to think about it, and use the shape to describe the spirit. It's a matter of caring for everyone. It's a pity that there is only this volume of silk paintings."
He turned the silk painting page by page, and suddenly a small piece of white paper fell out of the middle of the album.
"Hey, what is this?"
Yelu Abao took the page of paper,
There was a sketch on the paper,
Just outline the facial features of a woman,
The facial features are exquisite and lifelike.
The artist skillfully used the technique of anti-white to draw the curled eyelashes.
There is a feeling of a slight trembling in the sun,
A drop of clear tears fell from the eyelashes, and the crystal clear almost rolled off the paper.
That bare nose, slightly pursed lips,
The beauty of the country and the fragrance of the sky, the charming beauty, jumped on the paper.
"This, who painted this?" Yelu Abao was surprised and delighted, and he held on to Lin Qiushui's sleeve.
Lin Qiushui glanced at it and said casually, "Little Young Master, this person is an unknown painter in our city. His surname is Wu, and he has a quirky personality. Everyone calls him Weird Wu."
"Gu everyone's pictures of the ladies were collected from him, and it took a lot of effort from the slave family. This piece of paper was probably brought in by him unintentionally. He recently said that he wanted to draw ten beautiful pictures, and it was scattered all over the house. This piece of paper."
"Here, this person is in our city, please come and see him."
"This person is weird. He never goes out for entertainment. He never comes. The young master likes his paintings, and he will buy them for you when he finishes painting them. It's just that this person is so slow that he can't come out for a year or two. A picture."
"No, no, I should go to see such a holy hand in person."
Yelu Abao's personal servant said with a bitter face: "Young master, don't forget. The master has recently instructed you to stay in the mansion, and it is strictly forbidden to go out to play."
"What do you know, Daddy is busy with official business, so we just sneak out as usual. How can Daddy find out?"
Lin Qiushui leaned forward and said, "This person's residence is in Yanghua Lane, and there is only half a column of incense from here. If the young master wants to go, the slave's carriage will stop outside the door, and it will be cheaper to take the young son there. "
…
In the water prison at this moment,
Lin Bingren opened the cell door and slowly walked down the slippery steps.
Looking at the water, Yu Xingzhi was tied to the pillar.
He sneered and took a long whip handed by the attendant,
The leather of the whip is tightly woven,
The whole body is black and oily, and it is secretly flowing with splendor.
He shook the whip and slapped it on the ground of the water prison, leaving a trace on the hard bluestone surface.
Lin Bingren lifted Yu Xingzhi's chin with his whip,
"Tsk tsk, what a beautiful face. My brother Bingzhi has always liked things like you."
Yu Xingzhi said, "You disobeyed General Yelu's orders and tortured me without authorization. Aren't you afraid that your new master will blame you?"
Lin Bingren smiled and said, "You expect him to save you? It's a pity that he is not here at the moment. Besides, he wants to use me now, and I will kill you. Could it be that he will kill me for a dead person? You're just a prisoner now, do you think you're still the high-ranking son of the prince?"
He raised his eyebrows and said half insanely,
"I remember that year, my father had just entered the official circle of Kyoto, and Bingzhi was still a child. My father took me and him to a flower banquet at Yang Da Shi's house."
"At the banquet, you were surrounded by the crowd like a jewel, Bingzhi saw that you were beautiful and liked it very much. He wanted to go up and have a word with you, but the sixth prince beside you gave him a hug. Push down the steps. That fool of him rolled two or three times on the steps, got up carelessly, and tried to squeeze in front of you. The funny thing is that there are too many people hugging you, and he can't squeeze even if he wants to. ."
He suddenly woke up from his memory, slammed the whip fiercely in the air, slammed it into the air, and slapped it on Yu Xingzhi's chest.
A purple-red welt appeared on Yu Xingzhi's fair skin immediately.
He tightened his body and gritted his teeth, preventing the painful sound from leaking out of his throat.
The cold sweat on his head was dripping uncontrollably.
Lin Bingren nodded the whip in his hand and sneered: "This whip is called the Dragon Tail. The last person who used it only walked twenty whips in my hand and died. Haha, Lord Yu, I really want to know. How long can you hold on?"
Yu Xingzhi closed his mouth tightly.
He was saddened,
Xiaoxiao, I really want to see you again, but I don't know if there is still this chance.
Lin Bingren stretched out his hand and touched Yu Xingzhi's face, "I really regret it, I should have sent you directly to Bingzhi's bed, so that he can enjoy himself. If people are forever separated today, as a brother, I want to follow him once. Wishes are impossible."
His face was contorted, his veins were exposed, his back molars were hissing,
"Bingzhi likes to hold a beauty like you in his arms, with all kinds of love and affection. I am different! I just like to tear off your hypocritical flowers of high mountains, step on them in the mud, and shred them! | Tortured! Tortured to death!"
Lin Bingren broke Yu Xingzhi's jaw and forced him to look at him,
"I give you two options."
"One hundred whips. Or like a woman, the female leans under me to please me."
He took a good time and sat down on a chair behind him,
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, a hundred whips means death."
He crossed Erlang's legs and nodded the whip in his hand.
Looking at Yu Xingzhi who was embarrassed in front of him.
"Choose," he said. "If you don't speak up, just choose the latter."
Yu Xingzhi closed his eyes and spoke with difficulty,
"One... Hundred Whip"
Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I may not be able to wait for you.
