Lu Qian blushed and his heart raced. "Even if I succeed," he said, "Afterwards she … will kill me." Ji Qiannian smiled, "What's done is done. She'll throw a tantrum for a few days, but she'll have to obey eventually. She can't let the child in her womb lose its father." Lu Qian had a good impression of Chu Menglin. He thought what she said made sense. He hesitated for a moment and took it.
The Five Immortals Cult's secret medicine was not ordinary. Chu Menglin had been unconscious for several days. Lu Qian was able to travel day and night and finally returned to where he had left off. This time he was passing by Jingxi. He changed into a maroon gown first, and then leisurely looked for an inn to stay for the night. The inn's business was very good, there was only one empty room. Lu Qian had no choice but to let Chu Menglin sleep on the couch, while he leaned over the table and dozed off. The next day at five o 'clock, he was still half-awake. Suddenly he heard Chu Menglin mumbling, "What is this place?"
Lu Qian's sleepiness disappeared. He stepped forward to help her sit up. "Are you awake?" he said with a laugh. Chu Menglin pressed her forehead. "Where is my bracelet?" she asked. Seeing Lu Qian's blank face, she sighed and said, "Forget it, I didn't expect you to do it anyway. I'm a bit hungry, go find something to eat. "
Lu Qian complied and went out, thinking that perhaps this was Heaven's will. He bought several steamed buns on the street and turned to a corner. He looked around and saw that nobody was around. He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and pulled out the cork. His heart was still thumping wildly. He was about to flip the bottle over when suddenly he felt someone lightly patting his shoulder. He turned around in shock and saw the Kongtong Sect Leader standing behind him with a gloomy face. This was the first time he had done such a shameful thing, and he was caught red-handed. Moreover, the other party was his own elder. Immediately he was ashamed. Hastily he wanted to put the bottle into his sleeve, but his hands trembled and the steamed buns fell to the ground. "Se … Shibo …" he stammered.
The Kongtong Sect Leader scolded him, "What are you doing? Are you out of your mind? How dare you touch the woman that Jiang Liechen and An Yesun have their eyes on? Are you tired of living? " To Lu Qian, these words poked at his sore spot. Thinking of Nangong Xue, he sighed and said, "I … I indirectly caused the death of the person I love because I wanted to live. I feel terrible."
The Sect Leader of Kongtong Sect looked very kind. He gave a thumbs up and praised, "Well done. Of course, it's more important to protect yourself. If you lose your life, you have nothing left. If you want to play with women, how about Shibo take you to a good place? "Lu Qian asked listlessly." Where? "the Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader smiled faintly and said word by word," Agarwood Courtyard! "
Agarwood Courtyard was bustling with life as usual. Lu Qian had heard of the world's number one brothel for a long time, and he had long wanted to come here to broaden his horizons. However, he had been a disciple of an upright sect for many years. This was the first time he entered this kind of brothel, so he was very uncomfortable and did not know how to position his hands and feet. The Sect Leader of Kongtong Sect was very familiar with the place. He called a maid and asked, "Where is Madame Ruhua?" The maid replied, "The Lady Boss is resting upstairs, she does not see any guests."
The Sect Leader laughed and said, "I am not a guest. Go tell her 'an old friend is here to visit', and then give this to her. She will know." While saying that, he stuffed an object wrapped in thin paper into the maid's hand. The maid half-believed, half-doubtfully went to report. Not too long afterwards she returned and said, "The Lady Boss invites you." Her attitude was a lot more respectful, as if she already knew the Sect Leader's special status. She led the way. Madame Ruhua sat in a private room on the second floor, silently drinking tea. After the maid reported, she immediately bowed and left, gently closing the door behind her.
Madame Ruhua was still sipping her tea. After half a day she cast a glance toward the Sect Leader and angrily said, "You are a dead heartless man, you haven't come to see me for a long time!" The Sect Leader stepped forward and embraced her with one hand. He laughed and said, "Are you still angry? Aren't I here now? A few days ago I ran into some trouble, it was not easy for me to settle it. " Seeing Madame Ruhua still had a straight face, he continued, "I also suffered some injuries, I almost couldn't see you again." Madame Ruhua's face turned pale. "You are injured?" Madame Ruhua asked, "Let me see where the injury is. Is it serious?" While saying that she hastily reached out to take off his clothes; her concern was evident in her words.
The Sect Leader pulled her hand and placed it on his chest. He laughed and said, "With your concern, no matter how serious the injury is, it will be fine. But you don't pay attention to me, my heart hurts very much." Madame Ruhua had already revealed her concern, she could no longer pretend to be angry. She sighed and said, "Who told me to be willing? Tell me, when are you going to take me as the Sect Leader's wife? When I achieve meteoric success, I am afraid we will have to reconsider our relationship. " The Sect Leader laughed and said, "We both know very well how capable we are. How are you going to achieve meteoric success? Tell me."
Madame Ruhua was very proud. She said, "I don't know if you have heard, but my courtyard's Miss Yun 'er really lives up to her reputation as a courtesan. She has hooked up with the Emperor and has already been conferred the title of Imperial Concubine! Recently she is going to send several large carts of gold, silver and jewels to show her filial piety to me. She also wants to take me into the palace to enjoy life! "The Sect Leader laughed and said," What are you doing in the palace? Breastfeeding her little brother? "Madame Ruhua sneered," Only you can think of that! " The Sect Leader pinched her face and pointed to Lu Qian. "This is my martial nephew," he said, "I specially brought him here to support you."
Madame Ruhua laughed and said, "Well said, well said." She clapped her hands and called in a servant girl. "Go find Miss Bi 'er," she ordered, "Take good care of this gongzi." "Bi' er?" Bi 'er asked, "Is she a new girl? How is her appearance? "Madame Ruhua laughed and said," She is beautiful! Which girl in my courtyard is not beautiful? " The Sect Leader laughed and said, "That's good. This martial nephew of mine has very high standards, he doesn't like ordinary girls. Open another room for them, the two of us can be affectionate here and reminisce about old times. "
Madame Ruhua laughed and said, "Do I need you to tell me that?" She saw Lu Qian's hands were clutching the corner of his clothes, he was so shy that even the tips of his ears were red. She brushed her sleeve over his shoulder and said with a laugh, "Xiao Xianggong, don't be nervous. All the girls in my courtyard are as passionate as fire, I guarantee you will be satisfied." Lu Qian's face was even redder.
Seeing him like this, Madame Ruhua turned to the Sect Leader and said with a laugh, "I really can't see it. You are such an indecent person, yet you have such an honest martial nephew." The Sect Leader laughed and said, "It's because you haven't heard him fawning over other girls. Even I can't say those words to you."
Madame Ruhua said, "Why can't you say it? You and I don't have any … "Before her voice faded, the door collapsed in front of the three people. A girl in emerald green clothes fell in. Madame Ruhua valued the girl's manners the most. She reprimanded," Why did you just barge in? Didn't you see there are honored guests present? Where is your etiquette? "
The girl cried and said, "Lady Boss, I'm … I'm sorry!" She saw a large group of men in black guarding the door, while several others went in to rummage through the chests and cupboards. The man standing behind the girl was obviously the leader. He raised his saber and chopped the girl's right shoulder down to her left waist. He shouted, "Irrelevant people, get out of here!" Madame Ruhua saw blood dripping from his saber. She had lived in the midst of singing and dancing all year round, when had she ever seen such a scene? She pulled the Sect Leader's sleeve and cowered behind him.
Another man in black said, "Hu Dage, we can't let these people go easily. If by any chance they take that thing away with them, we won't be able to complete the mission. Brothers' heads will be removed!" That Hu Dage Hu Wei muttered, "Exactly. Come, search them for me!" Lu Qian angrily said, "I want to see who dares to come up! My Shibo is the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Pai. Everybody in Jianghu gives him some courtesy, how can you offend him? "
With a cold laugh Hu Wei said, "So what? Do you think the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Pai is more important than the Emperor? Consort Yun Niangniang has ordered us to come here to retrieve her things and kill all the rebels in Agarwood Courtyard! " The Sect Leader flicked his sleeve and said, "Madame Ruhua, turns out your Miss Yun is so filial to you. That's your family's business, we can't interfere."
Madame Ruhua saw these people were all fiendish, they killed Bi 'er without batting an eye. She had no value, how could she expect them to be merciful? She pulled the Sect Leader's arm tightly and called out, "No, you can't go! I, I have some treasures. If you help me get out of here, I will definitely reward you handsomely! "The Sect Leader showed a big smile and said," People die for wealth, that's another matter altogether. I will protect you and let my Shizhi bring up the rear. "
Lu Qian said, "If you want to look for treasures, you can't leave me out. I have never done business without capital." "That's right," Madame Ruhua helplessly said, "Little demon, I won't forget your good fortune." The Sect Leader knew that downstairs they were surrounded by the enemy. Sending out a palm strike, he broke the window frame and leaped out with Madame Ruhua in his arms.
"Don't let them run away!" Hu Wei shouted. Lu Qian's shadow flashed and he leaped toward the window frame. Raising his elbow, he struck a man in black's chest and hooked his foot. That man was running too fast and could not stop his momentum. When he fell to the ground, his forehead hit the corner of the table. Lu Qian sent out a fist toward the man on his left. That man raised his palm to chop his wrist. Lu Qian flipped his palm over and slapped his lower abdomen, forcing him to retreat several steps. Hu Wei angrily said, "Where did this renegade come from? Do you want to oppose the imperial court? If you stop us from arresting this criminal again, we will arrest you as well! "
Lu Qian cupped his fists and said with a giggle, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Xiongdi is Prince Yu Ye's subordinate, we are all on the same side. Our Great Qing country is prosperous and the people are at peace, we should refrain from indiscriminately killing innocent people. We should value peace above all else." Hu Wei said, "We only take orders from Consort Yun Niangniang. I don't care what Wangye he is, even if he is the God of Heaven, he won't be able to order us around." Lu Qian laughed and said, "Hu Dage flatters Xiongdi as the 'God of Heaven', Xiongdi is disrespectful to accept it, but I feel ashamed to refuse. In that case, I thank you very much. If in the future you need Xiongdi's help, Xiongdi will definitely lend a helping hand. "
Hu Wei said, "If you sincerely want to help, then quickly get out of the way!" Lu Qian sternly said, "May I ask Hu Dage, is the thing that Consort Yun Niangniang wants you to find Ruhua Furen's hidden treasure?" With a cold laugh Hu Wei said, "Niangniang has lived in the imperial palace, what kind of rare and precious treasure has she not seen? Why would she care about those bits and pieces?"
Lu Qian said, "Xiongdi also thinks that it is not. Then wouldn't this treasure be an unexpected windfall for everybody? Let her dig it out first, then everybody can have a share of the soup. " Seeing everybody was faintly moved, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "I am stopping you right now because I am thinking for you. First of all, that thing may not necessarily be on her. You are working so hard, Consort Yun Niangniang won't have any other reward. Besides, my Shibo is not as easy to talk to as Xiongdi. If we fight, there will be a lot of casualties, but it will still be in vain. We will also let down our wives and children, old and young, who are waiting for us bitterly at home. Won't that be like trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing a handful of rice instead? In my opinion, we might as well burn down Agarwood Courtyard and put on a show, so that when we go back, we can give an account to our master. "
Listening to him, Hu Wei repeatedly nodded his head and said, "That's really a wake-up call! But don't you think you can play any trick on me. "Lu Qian laughed and said," In front of Hu Dage, how could Xiongdi dare to be rash? "Hu Wei laughed and said," Very well, you may go. "
Lu Qian saluted the man in black again and took his leave. Slowly he went down the stairs and saw the hall was littered with corpses; it was a complete mess. Sighing, he hurried back to the inn. Chu Menglin had fallen asleep, but he had just witnessed the massacre and lost his appetite. By this time he had already lost his impulse, so he sat on the side until the night fell. Just as he was about to open the door, he saw the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect and Madame Ruhua. Without saying anything, the two of them took his hand and quickly walked out of the inn. It was the dead of the night, the street was empty, other than the several of them, there was nobody else.
