Walking on the streets of Xiangyang City, Zhou Laojiu kept muttering in a low voice. Qin Mubai asked: "Zhou Laojiu, what are you muttering about?"
"The villain is still wondering, how did the general understand the meaning of those sentences? It's so strange. If I were a villain, I couldn't figure out the "lonely fireworks in the willows of Chuiyang Lane", which refers to the villain. Widow Xu Liang's home." Zhou Laojiu said, "What if... what if I make a mistake?"
"What can I do? Go in and have a good time!" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "I didn't lead any troops to catch her. Besides, I just guessed that the location is here. As for whether the little widow is an accomplice of the water ghost or not? There is no final decision. Let’s see what happens then!”
"No, we're here! General, this is the house!" Zhou Laojiu pointed to a house with a tall lintel in front of him and said.
"Oh, it's really a big family." Qin Mubai looked up and down, waved his hand, "Go back, remember, don't make any noise, don't tell anyone what we talked about today, even if you fall asleep. Keep your mouth shut, don't let the news slip by talking in your sleep, understand?"
"Understood, understood!" Zhou Laojiu nodded and bowed, "I will remember the general's words word by word on my bones. I will never forget them!"
After that, Zhou Laojiu left.
Qin Mubai walked to the door and observed it carefully, only to see that the door was closed. After pushing hard, it was indeed locked from the inside.
He frowned and thought for a while, then walked along the wall of the courtyard. When he arrived in the backyard, he smelled a strong fragrance of gardenia. Next to a wall, willow trees were planted inside and outside, and the branches were connected to each other, as if they were connected into one body.
Qin Mubai raised his lips and smiled. He quickly climbed up a willow tree, climbed the branches and slipped over, landing safely in the courtyard.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of Chen Yan, and thought to himself: It would be convenient if Chen Yan were here. She has a unique skill in Qinggong, flying over walls and flying over walls like a civet cat... I haven't seen her for a few days, and I really miss her.
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Qin Mubai looked around the courtyard.
It was quite clean. The place where he was now was a small willow forest with about sixty or seventy willow trees. It was about the place where the owner usually rested and walked. There was also a gravel path. There are also stone benches and chairs in the forest, making the environment quite quiet and elegant. There is a circle of gardenias planted outside the forest. They are in bloom at this time, and a strong fragrance of flowers can be smelled from a distance. Further ahead, there is an artificial stream, with a wooden bridge and corridor built on it, and the pavilions and towers are quite elegant.
"This master has some taste and knows how to enjoy it." Qin Mubai wiped off the mud on his clothes, cut his hands behind his back, and walked forward leisurely and contentedly as if on an outing. I also picked up a gardenia in my hand, smelled it, and was full of praise for its fragrance.
Along the way, he didn't meet anyone. Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and said to himself: "I finally went in to pick flowers, but the host didn't come to greet me. It really ruined the scenery."
Walk to the small wooden bridge, walk straight ahead along the corridor, and pass through a stone arch to reach the front yard. When I first saw it, I saw a two-story exquisite building. In front of the building, there were flowerbeds, willows, rockery and flowing water, which was quite peaceful.
"There must be someone here when we get here, right?" Qin Mubai shouted angrily, "Hey, come here, catch the thief!"
With this shout, there was finally movement. A window upstairs was pushed open, and a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old said in panic: "Where is the thief?"
Qin Mubai raised his head and smiled: "What do you think?"
"You, how did you get in! Who are you?" The little girl panicked, pointed at Qin Mubai and exclaimed, "Come quickly! Catch the thief, catch the thief!"
I shouted several times, but no one answered.
Qin Mubai curled his lips: "It seems that there is no one else in the courtyard. Just save your energy and don't break your throat by shouting."
"Hmph!!" The little girl snorted loudly and opened the window with a bang.
"Hey, that's interesting!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but laugh, "I'm a thief. If you close the window, will you let me steal everything outside?"
No one responded.
Qin Mubai curled his lips in confusion and looked around. I saw a huge copper pin on the door leading upstairs. Qin Mubai took it in his hand and fiddled with it several times, making it tight. Unless this equally strong door is dismantled, it is impossible to break through the lock.
I walked around the courtyard and looked around. Except for the little girl upstairs, there seemed to be no one else in the house.
Qin Mubai couldn't help but shook his head: What kind of mystery are you trying to make
So he walked downstairs to the small building and chanted: "Willows in the sunlit lane, lonely fireworks. Since you invited me here, why didn't you show up to meet me?"
After waiting for a long time, the window on the small building finally opened again. This time, half of the figure of a charming young woman was exposed. She seemed to have just woken up. She just put on a pink shawl hastily around her shoulders and neck, half covering her plump breasts. She didn't even wear any underwear. She lightly held her hands in front of her chest and looked at her angrily. Qin Mubai.
"Where did the prodigal son come from? Aren't you afraid of the sanction of the king if he breaks into a house in broad daylight?" The woman scolded him sternly.
"So you already knew that I was coming, and you also knew that I came in *." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Flower lady, you are indeed charming and charming!"
The woman (Hua Niangzi) frowned slightly when she heard this, her expression suddenly became a little confused and ambiguous, and she said with a charming smile on her face: "Do you know who I am?"
"Of course. The girl's name is as loud as thunder." Qin Mubai said.
"Then you came to me to have fun?" The flower lady smiled coquettishly, leaning against the edge of the window, looking at Qin Mubai carefully with a pair of big eyes, and suddenly laughed, "He is really handsome. "Tell me, where are you from, what do you do for a living, and why are you here?"
What a waste!
Qin Mubai couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart, but for a moment he had to suppress his boredom and replied with a smile: "I, Qin Mubai, is an official from Chang'an and has come to Xiangzhou to serve as an official. Be a good official."
"Hey, another one comes from Chang'an, and he's an official! He's also a high official!" Lady Hua said with a sweet smile, "What's happened to my little house these days? The bees and butterflies are gone, but Specially able to seduce Phoenix!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mubai knew that she was referring to Pang Fei. I knew in my heart that Pang Fei probably fell into trouble here too!
"The girl is so charming. You dare to fall in love with that Chang'an subordinate who came with me, but you are so smitten that you can't go home, right?" Qin Mubai sneered.
"He!" The flower lady held her orchid finger and giggled with her red lips half-covered. "His bones are numb. He is so happy that he doesn't want to go back. Of course he doesn't want to go back. He is the biggest official I have ever seen, and he is still yours." "Exit. Tell me how big your boss is. Will it scare me?"
"You talk so much nonsense!" Qin Mubai frowned and said in a deep voice, "Stop beating around the bush and tell me, what do you want?"
"Wha, what!" Hua Niangzi's face turned pale and she said in astonishment, "Why are you so emotionless? Do you just want to flirt with me and negotiate prices upstairs and downstairs? I can tell you. , I am not an ordinary brothel girl. No matter how rich you are, if you can't make me happy, you can never get into this small building."
"Okay, okay!" Qin Mubai took a breath, shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Tell me, how can you be happy?"
"Hee hee, that's right!" The flower girl's orchid fingers gently rubbed on the thin silk scarf, gradually spreading from her shoulders to her chest. The half-exposed shawl clung to her body, almost exposing her plump breasts. You could see two pointed and protruding small nipples, which were a little hazy, making her even more seductive and ecstatic. .
Qin Mubai looked up and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "You are such a beauty, you are indeed in ecstasy."
"Really?" Hua Niangzi smiled even more seductively and said in a soft voice, "You are so handsome, your body seems to be quite strong, and you are a young and promising official. Originally, a young master like you, This girl is my favorite. It’s a pity..."
Suddenly, Hua Niangzi's expression changed, and she shouted in a deep voice: "You hate you!"
With a "bang" sound, she suddenly closed the window and disappeared.
Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment: "What kind of plane is this thief bitch doing?"
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement upstairs. Qin Mubai couldn't help but have some doubts: "Did I make a mistake in my judgment and look for the wrong place?... No, she also hinted just now, saying that Pang Fei was here yesterday, and now he is too happy to miss Shu and not go home. Isn't that a hint? Has he been captured by her?"
Puzzled, Qin Mubai had no choice but to walk around the courtyard to see if he could find any clues. When he walked into the willow forest again, he found a person in the forest, standing by the stone table and chair with his back to him.
Qin Mubai raised the corner of his mouth with a cold smile and walked over.
It was the figure of a man, who looked relatively tall and strong. He was wearing a black cloak that covered his head, and there was no trace of skin visible on his body.
Qin Mubai walked up behind him and said, "Your Excellency invited me to come, why have you been reluctant to show up to meet me?"
"Qin Mubai, you are really smart and you didn't disappoint me." The man's voice seemed a little vague and weird. Only when he turned around did he realize that he was wearing a ferocious ghost beast mask on his face, which covered his neck. Covered.
"Hiding your head and showing your tail, why don't you dare to show your true colors to others?" Qin Mubai sneered.
"This question is of no importance. Don't think wrongly. I am not a big shot, nor am I the Lord of Xihe Cao and Song Cao you are looking for." The man's voice was very smooth, and there was no emotion at all.
"Then what are you doing here?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Of course I'm here to help you." The man said, flicking his sleeves slightly, and threw something out that made a jingling sound on the ground. It turned out to be a bunch of keys.
"This is the key to the door of Hua Niangzi's small building. You go upstairs!" The man also chattered and laughed twice, "You have to work hard tonight. If you are a real man who is good at sex, , maybe you can find some answers you need.”
Qin Mubai picked it up with his toes, and the key jumped into his hand. He said suspiciously: "Is it interesting that you are playing so many tricks? If you have conditions, just mention it. I don't want to waste time."
"That's not up to you." The man said, "It's like entering a maze. You can't go around in circles even if you don't want to. Well, I know what you are thinking. You want to capture me now and stop me when you see me. Your true face, right? You better save it! I know you are very good, but now, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, and I’m afraid some people will fall to the ground. OK!"
Qin Mubai grabbed the key in his hand and smiled coldly: "Don't worry, I have always been very calm and have no interest in fighting with you for a short time. You are covering your head and face like this because you don't want to." Let me know who you are, just because I know you. Wait, one day, I will know who you are. When the time comes, I will tear off your mask and the skin on your face. ”
When Qin Mubai said this, there was a smile on his face. The man in black trembled involuntarily, forced himself to calm down, and laughed loudly: "Don't be so smart, you don't know me. Okay, go ahead! At this moment, Hua It’s time for the lady to take a bath and she’s already waiting for you to have fun!”
"Hahaha!" The man in black laughed and walked away.
Qin Mubai looked at his back and sneered: Just laugh and act pretentious! Do you think I don't know that you are more scared and timid than me? —It’s still not good, I fell into a trap! Lady Hua was teasing me deliberately just now, probably to delay time. I dare say that something must have happened in the moment I left the small building!
No matter what, if it comes, break into it! The sky is falling, that's all. Let's see what they can do to me!
Returning to the door of the small building again, Qin Mubai used the key to unlock it, and it opened as expected. When you push the door open and enter, you immediately smell the unique smell of powder in a woman's boudoir. The room was a little dark, so a lamp was lit. It's still the same kind of eight glazed lamps hanging on the roof, expensive and luxurious items commonly used in wealthy homes. I bet the lamp oil was mixed with spices, so the room was filled with a refreshing fragrance.
The furnishings in the room are also very neat and elegant, and the furniture seems to be quite high-end. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the furnishings that should be in a private prostitute's home.
There was no one in the lobby on the first floor, and there was a staircase exposed at the corner. Qin Mubai went straight up the stairs without thinking. The steps were deliberately a little heavier, making the stairs creak.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, you heartless man, why did you come here?" Suddenly I heard a burst of giggles coming from upstairs.
"Really?" Qin Mubai walked up to the second floor and smiled slightly, "Are we familiar with each other?"
"We have been friends for a long time, of course we are familiar with it." The flower lady was lying on her side on the couch, her jade body was half naked, a red brocade was draped on her hips, but her upper body was naked, only the pink shawl was slightly hidden. The jade peak is half exposed, and the fat skin is reflected by the red and pink quilt and shawl, and is coated with a layer of orange light, making it extraordinarily blurry and attractive.
Qin Mubai did not conceal his eyes, glanced around her, and said with a click of his tongue: "It is indeed tempting. At this moment, I really want to take off my clothes and lie on top of you, and live and die happily."
"Then come quickly, what are you waiting for?" The flower girl stretched out an arm with several circles of dark green arm jade rings, waved to Qin Mubai with her fingers, and moaned delicately, "Come on, you stinky man, Let’s see if you have the ability to make me want to die!”
Qin Mubai curled his lips and shook his head: "Forget it, I still want to live for a few more years! I know it's a pink skeleton and I still rush up to it. Isn't that getting tired of living? Besides, although you are tempting Human, but compared to my women, there is still a gap. If they knew that I was having an affair with a vile and vicious little widow, they would definitely castrate me. I'm a dissolute person, but I hate it... it's so tasteless!"
"You are so mean!" Hua Niangzi's face suddenly changed again, her expression was stern and her eyes were like daggers. She pulled her clothes and put them on her body, and said coldly: "I think highly of you, a pretty little man, and I want to be happy with you. I’ll deal with you again, but you talk so much nonsense!”
"Let's get back to the main topic. This man happened to be in Tiankui today and is not interested in women." Qin Mubai said coldly without getting angry at all.
"Nonsense, why did the man come to Tiankui!" The flower lady was obviously really annoyed, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she quickly put on her clothes, showing a bit of martial spirit.
Qin Mubai raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "You are not a real flower lady."
The flower girl was startled for a moment: "How can you see it?"
"Hua Niangzi is a native of Xiangyang, a well-known lady, elegant, slender and delicate. Unlike you, you are born with a pair of thick legs, and you are also powerful. You obviously have martial arts. Although you try hard to pretend to be charming, you are more You are a **, and you don’t have the gentleness and sweetness of a Jiangnan woman in your heart. Although your accent looks like a native of Xiangyang, there is no doubt that you are from the north," Qin Mubai said.
"Humph, the little man really has some eyesight, and he is not an ordinary thing." The flower girl raised her legs and looked at Qin Mubai with a cold look: "Yes, I am indeed not a flower lady, but does it matter? You are clearly not here either. Looking for her. Aren’t you the one you want to see?”
"Are you the Lord of Song Cao?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Ha! You are such an idiot!" Lady Hua sneered contemptuously again, "Could Lord Song Cao be so stupid to come to see you in person? If he was as stupid as you, I'm afraid he would have been dead for a long time."
"Then you are his concubine." Qin Mubai smiled.
"Glib tongue!" Hua Niangzi scolded in annoyance.
"Listening to your tone, it seems that you are not forty, but thirty-seven or eighty-year-old." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Why do you still look and figure like a seventeen-year-old girl? Don't tell me, I almost couldn't hold myself back. You were coaxed into bed."
"I have the miraculous magic of harvesting yang and replenishing yin! To tell you the truth, I really gave birth to you!" Lady Hua smiled coldly, "Let me tell you clearly, I value a handsome young man like you. Today, If you just have fun with me and make me feel comfortable, I will have a chat with you and tell you something you want to know. Otherwise, not only will you not hear anything, but you will be killed on the spot."
"Then you're done." Qin Mubai said calmly, "I would rather commit suicide with a sword than sleep with an old witch like you."
"You!... You are really looking for death!" Hua Niangzi angrily scolded her, then suddenly she let out a deep roar, and a figure struck forward like a knife.
Qin Mubai felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and it was obvious that the woman had drawn out the blade. He hurriedly pulled away, and a cold knife wind passed by his face. Hua Niangzi's martial arts skills are really not weak. She didn't use any of her moves. With a shake of her arm, she swiped across Qin Mubai's neck.
Qin Mubai had sharp eyes and quick hands. He shouted softly and instead of retreating, he struck out with his palm and hit her wrist holding the knife.
He used the opportunity to defeat the enemy with one move, and now he was using it with great proficiency!
Hua Niangzi was obviously surprised. She didn't expect Qin Mubai to react so quickly and be so courageous. With one step, he suddenly pulled away and flew backwards, like a ball of lightly fluttering catkins, and actually jumped straight into the air. He went up to the roof and sat on the beam of the house.
Qin Mubai looked up and said with a smile: "Old witch, you are gone. I saw your gray buttocks with sores."
"You little thief, I must tear off your mouth and gouge out your eyes." The flower lady was a little angry and scolded her angrily. With a long scolding, she leapt down from the roof like an eagle swooping down on food, with a fierce look in her eyes. A sharp dagger flashed directly into Qin Mubai's eyes.
Qin Mubai sneered, swerved to avoid it, and shouted: "That's enough, no need to play anymore! You'd better show up!"
Hua Niangzi took a few staggered steps and stood aside, holding a sharp blade across her chest. She looked at Qin Mubai coldly and said, "What are you talking about?"
"Do you still want to continue playing?" Qin Mubai sneered impatiently, "Just now you suddenly changed your attitude and made me angry, just to buy some time to let people into the small building. Moreover, the small one who opened the window before The girl is gone too. Is there a third person in this room besides you and me? If there is, then the other person is the one I really want to see!"
Hua Niangzi's face changed slightly, and she slowly put down the knife: "You are indeed smart enough!"
"Quack, quack!" Several applauses suddenly sounded from behind the bed. A man also wearing a black cloak and robe came out and said in the same low and unclear voice: "General Qin, you are indeed extraordinary. I Very satisfied. Only smart people are worthy of being my opponent. Congratulations, General Qin, you have passed the test. Now we can get down to business!"
Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed: "It's really tiring to deal with you people! I have to use all the tricks of the ghost world. Are you tired? Just sit down and talk things over clearly, can't you?"
"Of course not." The man in black said, "If it weren't for the cunning rabbit, how could there be three caves? If there were no three caves, how could we survive today? General Qin, please be patient! This is just our habit."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Mubai shouted, "Let's talk. What do you want to do before we are willing to let him go?"
