Downstairs room.
When Nangong Xueyi was listening with great interest, Cai'er rushed in again rashly.
Nangong Xueyi frowned and became a little angry: "What's the matter again?"
Cai Er quickly reported: "Mr. Luo just came down from upstairs in a hurry, his face was red, and he said he was going out to buy some things, and then he left in a hurry."
"Blushing? Left?"
Nangong Xueyi was stunned when she heard this, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.
Cai Er whispered: "Miss, Mr. Luo has probably never read that kind of book, so he is shy..."
Nangong Xueyi suddenly asked, "How long has he been up there?"
Cai Er thought for a moment and said, "About a cup of tea."
Nangong Xueyi couldn't help but smile, and looked at Miss Qin Er and said, "Wei Mo, your husband must have been reading with great interest when he found Jianjia up there, so he blushed and ran away. After all, it's really uncomfortable for a man and a woman to read this kind of book alone."
Miss Qin asked softly, "Cai'er, is my sister still up there?"
Cai Er hurriedly went out to take a look, then came back and whispered, "Miss Qin just came down, I wonder if she has read those books."
Miss Qin Er pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Sister Xueyi, please wait here for a while. I'll go out and see my sister."
Nangong Xueyi nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. I just want to write down the story you just told me."
Miss Qin Er left the room.
At this time, Miss Qin, wearing a snow-white dress, was standing quietly at the bookshelf in the corner of the first floor, flipping through a book.
When Miss Qin Er walked closer, she saw the name of the book: "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".
Miss Qin Er's heart moved slightly. She walked closer and whispered, "Sister, wasn't Brother Qingzhou reading a book upstairs just now? Why did he leave suddenly? Did you see him upstairs?"
Miss Qin didn't answer. She paused, picked up a book from the bookshelf and handed it to her.
Miss Qin Er was full of confusion. She took it in her hand, looked at the cover, and her face suddenly froze.
《Jade Foot Illustration 5》…
"Sister, he was reading this book just now?"
Miss Qin Er's face was immediately filled with embarrassment, as if she had just peeked at the book.
Miss Qin looked at him and said calmly, "You touched me."
Miss Qin Er: "..."
After Luo Qingzhou escaped from the bookstore, he wandered around the street for a while. After he calmed down, he went into a shop selling warrior supplies.
This kind of shop is the same as the one in Mo City, with all kinds of books displayed on the first floor.
If a warrior practices martial arts, he naturally has to learn to read and write.
The second floor is where you’ll find some real warrior supplies.
When Luo Qingzhou first discovered the jade foot illustration, it was in a shop selling warrior supplies.
It was the fault of the store that it was so filthy that it actually sold such shameless books. Otherwise, he would not have been lured into it and caused such a socially disastrous incident today...
Miss Qin already had a bad impression of him, and now she will probably despise him even more. She thought he was just a playboy at first, but now she probably thinks he is a pervert.
Why…
"Sir, what kind of books do you want to read?"
At this time, a waiter came over enthusiastically.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the books on the bookshelf, thinking about the embarrassment just now, and subconsciously said: "Jade feet inserted..."
He immediately responded: "Medicinal herbs, are there any books introducing various medicinal herbs?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's in the second row of bookshelves over there. You can go and have a look yourself."
When Luo Qingzhou was about to go over, the waiter immediately leaned close to him and whispered, "Sir, the Jade Foot illustrations have been published up to five. We have the full set in our store, all hardcover editions, and the illustrations inside are extremely lifelike. If you buy five copies at once, you can also get a free foot appreciation coupon. On the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month, you can go to Yuxianglou to enjoy free feet. On other days, you can also take this volume to Yuchunlou and enjoy a half-price discount..."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
The waiter whispered obscenely, "All musical instruments and singing are half price. No matter what you like, it can be satisfied there. It is said that Yuxianglou has recently bought a few exotic women with blonde hair and blue eyes and very white skin. The customers who have been there are full of praise for them."
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't help asking: "Are you a waiter in a shop, or a madam in a brothel?"
The waiter chuckled and said, "To be honest, sir, I will get money for recommending a customer. If you don't like it, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Luo Qingzhou ignored him and went to the bookshelf in front.
The waiter smiled, didn't take it seriously, and went to greet other customers.
Luo Qingzhou soon saw books introducing medicinal materials on the bookshelf, as well as two books specifically introducing rare spiritual medicines.
He immediately opened it, read it carefully page by page, and memorized everything in his mind.
After finishing reading the two books that specifically introduced magical medicines, he only took a book that introduced common medicinal materials and prepared to pay for it.
He is now in the identity of Luo Qingzhou, and must be vigilant against the exposure of his other identity at any time.
When he took the book to the counter to pay, he suddenly found a stack of books on the counter. On the cover of the top book, there was a picture of a pair of beautifully curved jade feet of a girl, and next to it were neatly written a few big words: Jade Foot Illustrations 5 - Hardcover Edition.
There seemed to be exactly five books in total.
The waiter who had just received him glanced at him from the bookshelf not far away, and continued to sort the books on the shelf.
The shopkeeper who collected the money took a look at the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Sir, are you only buying one? Here are five more books. There is a discount today. Why don't you take them all home? If you don't read them yourself, you can give them to friends."
As he spoke, he pushed the five jade foot illustrations on the table.
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved. Friend
He put the books in his hand on the table, picked up a book with jade feet illustrations, flipped through a few pages, nodded calmly and said, "It just so happens that Brother Feiyang's big day is in two days, and I'm worried about what to give him. Well, take these five books with you, pack them for me, don't expose them and make them dirty."
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely pack it for you. It says "Examination Preparation Books" on the outside, so no one can tell."
After saying that, he immediately picked up the wrapping paper and began to wrap it carefully.
After paying the money, Luo Qingzhou prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, just as I walked to the door of the store, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind me: "Mr. Luo?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look.
A girl in a light green dress came out with a look of surprise on her face. She was holding a book in her hand and said excitedly, "It really is Master Luo! I thought I was seeing things."
Then he asked excitedly: "Mr. Luo, do you still remember Qingwan?"
Of course Luo Qingzhou remembered her.
Back when they were in the Qin Mansion in Mo City, this girl brought Miss Qin II to him in the middle of the night to ask for poems, and he was forced to write two poems about plum blossoms for her.
I heard that this girl is a relative of the Wang family. She originally lived in Kyoto, but left before the Wang family got into trouble.
It seems that what happened to the Wang family did not affect her.
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said, "It turns out to be Miss Su. It's been a long time."
Su Qingwan smiled and said, "It's been a long time indeed. Mr. Luo, where's Weimo? Is he feeling better?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Much better."
Su Qingwan said: "That's good, where do you live? When I have time, I will go to see Wei Mo."
The two were chatting at the door of the store, which was a bit awkward.
Su Qingwan said quickly, "Mr. Luo, let's go out and talk while walking. Where are you going, Mr. Luo? If you have nothing to do, can you accompany me to have a few drinks? I just have something to say to you, Mr. Luo."
Luo Qingzhou left the shop without answering her question, and said, "I have something else to do today, so I won't go."
Su Qingwan glanced around and whispered, "Master Luo, Qingwan has heard some news recently about the Qin family and the rumors about Miss Qin. Qingwan just wanted to inform Master Luo."
Luo Qingzhou frowned when he heard this, looked at her and said, "About Miss Qin?"
Su Qingwan nodded and whispered, "Mr. Luo, there are many people on the road, let's go to the restaurant in front to talk."
Luo Qingzhou stared into her eyes for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Su Qingwan hurriedly led the way, and suddenly glanced at the books in his hand, and smiled softly, "What books did Master Luo buy? Are they all about the imperial examinations?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes."
Su Qingwan smiled and said, "With Mr. Luo's talent, he will definitely pass the Spring Examination this time."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else.
Su Qingwan led him across a street and came to a restaurant. She said, "Mr. Luo, the wine here is very fragrant. You must taste it later."
As soon as the two entered the door, a waiter came to greet them.
Su Qingwan said, "Let's go to the private room upstairs and bring up your signature dishes and fine wine."
The waiter quickly agreed, picked up the teapot, walked in front, and took the two of them upstairs.
The two followed the waiter into box number two.
"Please wait for a moment, sir. Have some tea first. The food and drinks will be here soon."
The waiter bent down and said this, then immediately stepped back and helped the two of them close the door.
Su Qingwan said: "Mr. Luo, please take a seat."
As she spoke, she picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea. She looked at him with a complicated expression and said softly, "Ever since meeting Master Luo at the Qin Mansion that night, Qingwan has never forgotten him. After returning to Kyoto, she often inquired about Master Luo's news..."
At this point, she smiled modestly and said, "Qing Wan knew that Mr. Luo was a married man, so she didn't think much about it. Qing Wan was very happy to see Mr. Luo again today. Unfortunately..."
She picked up the teacup and said, "Sir, please have some tea. Qingwan will offer you a cup first."
Luo Qingzhou stared into her eyes, paused, took the teacup, and said, "Let's talk about business."
Su Qingwan glanced at him again, picked up the tea, drank it all, and said: "It's not only about Miss Qin, but also about the Qin family and Mr. Luo... Mr. Luo is the son-in-law of the Qin family, but he is so favored in the Qin family. He can participate in the imperial examination and show his face at will. The Qin family, from top to bottom, dotes on Mr. Luo very much... Everyone says that Mr. Luo has taken good care of all the women in the Qin mansion, including... Aunt Song..."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the expression on the boy's face and was surprised to find that his expression was still as calm as before, as if the words just now had no effect on him.
Su Qingwan was slightly startled, and then continued: "Mr. Luo, everyone also said that it was Aunt Song who first fell in love with you, so she let you marry into the family, and then spend every night with her two daughters and let you serve them... Everyone also said that Miss Qin disappeared when she was a child and was sold to..."
"Which one?"
Luo Qingzhou suddenly interrupted her.
Su Qingwan stared at his expression and said, "The people from Mocheng... and Kyoto..."
"Tell me clearly, who is it?"
Luo Qingzhou asked again.
When Su Qingwan was about to speak, he suddenly said, "Forget it, don't say it. Even though it's fake, I don't want to hear it anymore."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Su Qingwan suddenly said: "Mr. Luo..."
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at her.
Su Qingwan suddenly took a few steps back, lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "I'm sorry... Qingwan was also forced, don't blame Qingwan..."
After saying that, three figures suddenly appeared from the inner room.
One of the figures was extremely fast and instantly rushed to the door and blocked it.
The room suddenly became dead silent.
Su Qingwan looked at the young man at the door and found that his expression was still as calm as before. She didn't know whether he was frightened or he didn't know what happened until now.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: A scholar is still a scholar after all. No matter how talented he is, he is just a weakling regarded as an ant by warriors and can be slaughtered at will...
She suddenly whispered, "Mr. Luo, don't be afraid. They just want to use your body. If you cooperate, maybe nothing will happen."
At this moment, a hoarse and sinister laugh suddenly came from above his head: "Young man, let me use your body for a few days. When I finish my work, I will...ah..."
Before he could finish his words, his throat was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand!
His eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened, and his face was full of horror.
However, people on the ground could not see what was happening in the air. They were just wondering why Mr. Wu suddenly stopped talking halfway through his speech.
The warrior standing at the door was the first to react, but before he could make any move, the young man he stopped suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck!
He clearly saw the hand reaching out, but he couldn't avoid it!
He was horrified and opened his mouth in panic, wanting to scream for help, but the hand suddenly exerted force and with a "crack", it crushed his neck!
His eyes widened, his head tilted, and his body fell limply to the ground...
"Walk!"
The other two warriors in the room finally reacted. They were shocked and horrified. They turned around and were about to jump out of the back window.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they jumped up, the young man's two hands suddenly appeared like ghosts, following them like a shadow, and grabbed their necks!
"Bang!"
Before they could react, their heads suddenly collided heavily!
"Pah!"
There was a crisp sound, like the sound of two watermelons suddenly breaking!
The two men's eyes went dark, and their heads suddenly exploded, with blood and brains splattering everywhere...
Then, the headless bodies of the two men fell softly to the ground...
From then on, the three warriors who had just appeared in the room didn't even have time to say a word or make a move, and they were killed instantly!
The whole process happened almost in the blink of an eye!
Su Qingwan, who was standing in front of the table, was immediately frightened by this horrific scene. Her eyes widened, her face turned pale, her mind went blank, and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.
A stream of liquid slowly flowed down her skirt and trembling legs, dripping onto the floor...
"stop!"
At this moment, a flying sword suddenly flew into the inner room and directly cut the body sitting in the corner with its soul out of the body into two halves.
At this moment, the soul whose neck was strangled in mid-air suddenly shook all over, and a sharp pain came from his brain!
He opened his mouth and his whole body was trembling, but no sound came out.
Because at this moment, a wisp of Luo Qingzhou's soul was strangling his neck.
