"The river girl picks the lotus by the autumn water. The narrow sleeves reveal the double golden bracelets. The shadow picks the flowers like the face. The maiden's heart is in turmoil. The wind and waves are late at the shore. The fog is heavy and the smoke is light. I don't see my companion. The faint singing returns … "
On the wide and gentle lake, a beautiful double-decker pleasure boat slowly paddled the water. On the top floor of the pleasure boat, several young and beautiful girls were singing in unison. Their voices were sweet and soft, with the unique vitality and liveliness of young girls. This poem made them sing with great joy.
A girl in green sitting in the corner did not sing with them. Instead, she hugged her shoulders tightly with a sad expression on her face.
"Okay, stop."
The beautiful woman sitting in the main seat of the cabin waved her horsetail whisk to stop the singing girls.
The woman had her hair combed into a bun. She wore a light yellow Taoist robe and held a green jade horsetail whisk in her hand. She was dressed like a female Taoist cultivator, but it could not hide the romantic charm in her eyes.
"This is a poem about the feelings of young girls. The line 'maiden's heart is in turmoil' is the most charming. It must be sad and worried, and the heart is in a mess. Only then can you sing the beauty of lovesickness. You all sing so happily without a trace of sadness. "
The beautiful woman's tone was indifferent, but the girls were silent. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"All of you, go and think about it." The beautiful woman waved her hand, indicating that they could all go.
The girls were relieved. They hurriedly bent their knees and saluted, then hurriedly left the cabin.
After the girls left, the beautiful woman sighed. "This group of children is not very enlightened. It's really worrying."
The girl in green sitting in the corner looked at the beautiful woman. The corner of her mouth moved, but she did not speak.
The beautiful woman smiled. "Little Yi, have you gotten used to it these two days?"
The girl in green nodded slightly. "Thank you, Qiniang, for taking me in."
"Your father and I are also old friends. He has taken care of me all these years. I will not forget this friendship. You just need to stay here with peace of mind. In Swallow Dock, no one can touch you. "
Qiniang said rather heroically.
Hearing Qiniang talk about her father, Little Yi could not help but feel heartache. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Just a few days ago, she was still the daughter of the Jiujiang Gang's leader. With a single call, hundreds would answer to her every request. But when her father died, she immediately became a sinner that everyone wanted to beat up.
Jiang Yueyi was only fourteen years old. She had been spoiled since she was a child, so her personality was rather arrogant and willful. Suffering such a huge blow, he almost wanted to commit suicide. However, there was still a strong hatred in his heart. He was not willing to die just like that.
The cruel blow had actually stimulated the unswerving determination in her bones. According to Jiang Zhenggong's arrangement, she fled all the way to Swallow Dock and sought refuge with her father's old friend, Seventh Madame.
Swallow Fort was a fiefdom specially granted to the Yan Clan by the Jiang Country. The Yan Tribe of the Barbarians was rich in beauties, and they loved poetry and literature. They did not like fighting. A few thousand years ago, he had formed an alliance with the Jiang Country.
After thousands of years, the Yan Clan had become one with the Jiang Country. Because of Swallow Fort's special status, not only did it gather beauties from the Yan Clan, but it also gathered beauties from all over the world. In the end, it became the most famous place for fireworks in Jiang Country.
Qiniang was the owner of the famous Green Jade Building in Swallow Dock. It was said that she was also one of the four managers of Swallow Dock. They were extremely powerful.
When Jiang Zhenggong was in charge of the Jiujiang Gang, he had a close relationship with Seventh Madame and had worked together for many years.
Just as the Dragon Subduing Academy was about to make a move, Jiang Zhenggong received the news in advance and sent Jiang Yueyi to Swallow Fort first. However, Jiang Zhenggong was unable to escape and was personally killed by Wu Se.
This battle caused a sensation in Jiang Country. The news of Jiang Zhenggong's human trafficking and collusion with the Demon Clan spread like wildfire in all directions.
Jiang Yueyi actually did not like Seventh Madame. She was a procuress and was definitely not a good person. She was best at buying and selling young girls.
For the past two days, Jiang Yueyi had been on tenterhooks, afraid that Seventh Madame would sell her out.
Fortunately, Seventh Madame did not restrict her movements and took care of her food, clothing, and transportation. This more or less calmed Jiang Yueyi down a little.
Looking at the young girl who was crying bitterly, the Seventh Madame gracefully walked over to Jiang Yueyi and reached out to help her wipe her tears.
This gentle action touched Jiang Yueyi even more, and she cried even more sadly.
"Good child, it's fine. "Everything will pass …"
Seventh Madame hugged Jiang Yueyi and comforted her in a low voice.
Jiang Yueyi cried for a while, wetting a large area of Seventh Madame's clothes, and a clear mark of * * appeared on her light yellow robe. When Jiang Yueyi saw it, she couldn't help but be surprised by the other party's tall and plump figure. At the same time, she felt very ashamed of her rash actions, and her small face immediately turned red.
Seventh Madame smiled in understanding, stroked Jiang Yueyi's black hair and said: "Just cry it out, in the future, follow Seventh Madame, no one can bully you."
Seventh Madame's eyes flashed with a gentle and kind light, which made Jiang Yueyi feel extremely amiable. His original vigilance had been tossed away somewhere.
"You're tired too, sleep well …" Under Seventh Madame's comfort, Jiang Yueyi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, but her consciousness became lighter and lighter. Before Seventh Madame could finish, she had already fallen asleep.
Seventh Madame slowly put down Jiang Yueyi, her beautiful face revealing a trace of pity, "Jiang Zhenggong has raised a beautiful daughter, and she is also very naive."
"What is Jiang Zhenggong thinking? He actually gave his daughter to you."
A man in brocade clothes appeared silently behind Seventh Madame. His eyebrows were thin, his lips were red, and his appearance had a bit of feminine charm. His voice was also feminine and sharp, neither male nor female.
"Jiang Zhenggong is a smart man." Seventh Madame said without turning her head: "In this world, only we know the value of women. Only we will cherish women. "
"Hehe …" The man in brocade clothes laughed twice, "Things that can be sold at a good price, naturally need to be treated well. Jiang Zhenggong is open-minded. "
He laughed a few times again: "However, I am interested in this girl. Leave it to me. "
Seventh Madame turned around and looked coldly at the man in brocade clothes. Her eyes were deep, and there was a kind of coldness and ruthlessness that penetrated deep into the bones.
The man in brocade clothes felt guilty being stared at, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
"Do your job well."
Seventh Madame said indifferently: "Don't think about that nonsense."
The man in brocade clothes said with some unwillingness: "Jiang Zhenggong is dead, and his daughter is for others to play with anyway. So what if I play with her! "
"Jiang Zhenggong has controlled the Jiujiang Gang for a hundred years. Do you know how much wealth and how many connections he has accumulated? You are a eunuch, and you want to touch his daughter? Can you afford to play with her? "
Seventh Madame looked straight at the man in brocade clothes and said with a cold expression: "You have followed me for many years, let it go this time."
The man in brocade clothes was angry, but he knew Seventh Madame's ruthlessness, so he did not dare to show it. He hurriedly bowed his head to admit his mistake.
"Leave." Seventh Madame ordered.
The man in brocade clothes did not dare to look up, and retreated out of the room awkwardly.
"This guy hates you."
Before the voice died away, a woman came in with the breeze outside the window. She was wearing a green robe, a sword on her back, and long leather boots. She looked very clean and neat. Her appearance was not beautiful, but not ugly either. When she smiled, her white teeth were clean, and she was quite likable.
Seventh Madame did not seem to be surprised at the person who came, and said indifferently: "He thinks that his wings have hardened, and his behavior has become more and more arrogant these two years. Next time, I will send him to Langya Cave. "
"You are also ruthless enough. The old man in Langya Cave hates people who are neither male nor female the most. "
The woman in green clothes said with some surprise.
Seventh Madame smiled lightly, "The number one assassin of the left river, Qing Wuhen, actually said that others are ruthless. Hehe, this joke is a bit too cold."
The woman in green clothes waved her hand and said: "What number one assassin of the left river, such words are said by ignorant people. I am just a poisonous swallow of the Yan Clan, that's all. "
"The reason why the Yan Clan can continue to exist is because of our protection."
Seventh Madame said seriously: "Be it a madam or an assassin, it is all for the Yan Clan. To be able to contribute to the Yan Clan is our responsibility and also our honor. "
"There is no need to say more." Qing Wuhen stopped smiling, and his expression showed some loneliness and tiredness, "No matter how nice it sounds, I have to kill people, and you have to sell yourself."
This topic was too heavy, and Seventh Madame did not say anything else. She changed the topic and asked: "What is the situation outside now, what did Old Jiang do to be used as a scapegoat?"
"According to the news from Jiujiang King, there is a big problem in the Dragon Subduing Courtyard. The host, Yuan Tong, Chief Selfless and the others are all dead. Colorless cleaned the Dragon Subduing Courtyard from top to bottom. It is said that thousands of people were killed. Jiang Zhenggong is Yuan Tong's senior brother, of course he can't escape death. With so many people dead, he needs to be the scapegoat. "
Qing Wuhen sighed: "Colorless is usually smooth, making friends with the world, I didn't expect him to be so cruel."
Seventh Madame pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone knows that the Dragon Subduing Courtyard hides evil. Colorless did not know about it just now. Even if he is dissatisfied, there is no need to make such a big commotion. What is he doing this time? "
"Maybe he was forced, so he could only cut his wrist." Qing Wuhen guessed.
Seventh Madame nodded and said: "With Colorless' smooth way, even if he wanted to deal with it, the world would not know."
"I heard that Monk Wu Kong also went missing in the war."
Qing Wuhen guessed: "Wu Kong is from the Vajra Sect, maybe he had Wu Xiang's decree. Colorless saw that the matter was exposed, so he had to do it. But to vent his anger, he killed Wu Kong as well. "
"Wu Kong is talented in literature, but his martial arts is not strong. Wu Xiang is not muddle-headed, why would he let Wu Kong do such a thing. "
Seventh Madame sighed slightly: "If Wu Kong really died, it would be a pity."
Qing Wuhen did not care: "Poetry is after all just a small path. So what if he is dead or alive. The great calamity of heaven and earth, the reincarnation of the era, the gathering of the wind and clouds, who knows how many peerless experts will emerge. Thinking about that scene is exciting. "
"There are many experts, but only Wu Kong can conquer the world with his literary talent." Seventh Madame glanced at Qing Wuhen, looking quite disdainful of her vulgarity.
Qing Wuhen did not care, and said: "Buddhist monks will pretend to be merciful, so they will not chase after Jiang Yueyi. But it is hard to say for others. What do you want to do with this little girl? "
"I have to compare the goods, I have to sell it for a good price."
Seventh Madame smiled charmingly: "This is what I am best at, you don't have to worry too much."
"Humph …" Qing Wuhen was about to say something, but suddenly sensed someone coming. Her figure flashed and disappeared into thin air.
Someone outside the door reported respectfully: "Seventh Madame, they fished out a person from the water, it seems to be a monk …"
Seventh Madame's eyes showed a strange look and thought: "It can't be so coincidental …"
