Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Chonglouyuan is located in the south of Jinzhou, and it took more than ten days to reach Jinzhou. Sleeping in the open air, the white clothes are a little dusty, or they have already arrived at the destination, but there is no trace of the Jiutianmen, and there is no experience of encountering the Hell Gate by chance. Except for Mo Xichen's delay in meeting the two in the future, no other troubles have come. Bai Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and strode towards the gate of the city. Su Xiu reached out and touched the pony's mane, and followed slowly.Before entering the city, Bai Jin once caught a white pigeon in the air and released it back. She thought it was Bai Jin's joke, but it turned out that she had notified the people from Changtianfang Jinzhou Hall to come to pick her up. There were already several people waiting outside the city. When Bai Jin arrived, they greeted her one after another.

"Congratulations, Young Master. When I received the letter from Young Master the day before yesterday, our shopkeeper was overjoyed. Jinzhou is located in a remote place, so it is rare to see Young Master. The shopkeeper is cleaning up the room and waiting for Young Master to go." Bai Jin wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, frowned and said, "How can Lin Feng always be so extravagant?" Su Xiu jumped and landed beside Bai Jin, she turned around and introduced: "This is my little lady, you are so kind to take care of me." Su Xiu hastily withdrew her curious eyes, and imitated the appearance of the so-called little lady, blessed her shyly, and looked up at the people in front.

An elderly man with a kind face, quite a bit of a headmaster, dressed in a green lotus-colored brocade gown, is the head of the Jinzhou Hall, and his name is Lin Chaoxi. Mr. Lin is nominally under the management of the shopkeeper Lin Feng, but in reality he is The real head of Jinzhou Church.Lin Feng was his adopted son raised by him alone. Mr. Lin handed over the Jinzhou Hall to Lin Feng when he was old. As they said, the current treasurer, Lin Feng, is cleaning up the Jinzhou Hall, waiting for the arrival of Mr. Xixiang. Bai Jin took out her usual small fan from her waist, waved it in her hand, and said, "I'm afraid Lin Feng is hiding something that I can't let me see."

Lin Chaoxi stroked his beard and smiled ambiguously, "Lin Feng, I'm afraid those little Jiujiu really can't hide it from you, son, but this time he really misunderstood him. He heard that you came to Jinzhou with your fiancée and is arranging for someone to clean up the wing. To make Mrs. Sister-in-law live comfortably, his exact words." Su Xiu smiled knowingly, although the feeling of being supported by others was a little uncomfortable, but in order to cherish the face of Mr. Xiang's fiancee, she still had to put on airs, and said softly: "It really bothered everyone."

Lin Chaoxi hurriedly turned around and cupped his hands, "Where is it, madam, wait a moment, the sedan chair will come soon." She froze for a moment, and then looked at Bai Jin. She hadn't experienced such a rich scene for many years. Bai Jin walked over, took her hand and said softly, "Just take it easy. My father... lady." It was rare that she lost her mind for a moment and almost spit out the word "princess". Su Xiu pinched her to make her react. This scene made people around think that the relationship between Mr. Xixiang and his fiancée is very rare, and they are so affectionate in front of outsiders.

The sedan chair was rickety, Su Xiu sat in it and felt as if she had been in another world, as if many years ago, she was still held in her arms, walking along the Longwei Road in front of the palace, and through the long corridor.She looked outside through the window pane of the small water chestnut in the sedan chair. Jinzhou is located in the southwest, at the eastern foot of the Jiufeng Mountains.You can see the mountain peaks in the distance, and there are simple and unique shops on both sides, most of which are two to three-story wooden buildings covered with green tiles.Both men and women in Jinzhou are unrestrained, and all the women who travel together are dressed lightly, some talk softly, some laugh loudly, and they don't care about the curiosity in the eyes of outsiders.

It would be understandable if the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes were more unrestrained; but the city of Jinzhou makes people feel unrestrained.Especially after entering the city, the surrounding area is surrounded by a tangy aroma, which may be related to the fact that Jinzhou is originally a place rich in spices, and it is no wonder that it has won the reputation of a fragrant city. Not long after, the sedan chair stopped, Bai Jin opened the curtain with a fan, pulled out Su Xiu, pointed to a gorgeous small building with two floors in front of him, frowned at the winking man at the door, turned his head with a smile and said: " This is the Jinzhou Hall in Changtianfang, what do you think, my lady?"

Su Xiu nodded, "Very rich." Bai Jin shook his head and pointed at the handsome man at the door who suddenly put on a bitter face, "The wealth is really this kid's ostentation, and it has nothing to do with me." Su Xiu understood, maybe this is the Lin Feng they were talking about just now.As expected, it was indeed the shopkeeper Lin Feng.He is also like what Bai Jin said, the silver gown with red rims is also shining against the sun, and against the gilded three characters Chang Tian Fang written on Bai Jin, it is almost full of the smell of copper. Lin Feng still said with a bitter face: "Where is the ostentation... I have already..."

Bai Jin sighed, "You have already removed a lot, for example, the gem-encrusted jade Buddha bought from overseas in front of the main hall two years ago, you must have moved it to the back hall before I came." Lin Feng sighed, "Of course! But I really think this Jade Buddha is so beautiful! It's a pity not to put it in the front hall..." Seeing that Bai Jin's eyes gradually turned cold, and his words gradually softened at the end, he flinched and changed the subject: "The wing room is ready, why don't you let my sister-in-law rest first?" Bai Jin looked at Su Xiu from the side, she was looking around, obviously very curious, the look in her eyes was indeed exhausted.She obviously didn't gain weight these days, but she really lost some weight because of the long journey. She nodded, "Send Xiuer to rest first, I have something to discuss with you."

Lin Feng hurriedly walked out of the counter, and said to Su Xiu with a flattering smile: "Madam sister-in-law and I will go to the back garden to rest." Su Xiu nodded in response, and looked back at Bai Jin, she had already asked Lin Chaoxi to take out the account book, and began to review the accounts of Fuzhou Church, then turned around and sighed softly. Lin Feng asked, "Why is Mrs. Sister-in-law sighing?" Su Xiu shook her head, "It's just because I feel sorry for her, I can rest, but she can't." He is obviously the same as himself, but he is used to treating himself as a man, and he is burdened with things that should not be imposed on him all the time.

From Lin Feng's point of view, Mr. Xixiang has always been a romantic man, and he really didn't expect that he would find his true heart so quickly.Originally, he was guessing how beautiful this woman would be in order to surpass Qiu Yeqing, the number one beauty in the Jianghu. It was only the moment he saw her that he put his guessing heart back to reality.Although Su Xiu is not as beautiful as an autumn night, she has an aura that makes people want to protect, like a lonely lotus in a pool of spring water, fearing that it will be hit by frost and rain, and only wishes to turn into a lotus brocade Carp like to be a companion or a lotus leaf to protect each other closely.Or the young master doesn't need a strong man as a companion, but a woman who can protect him. Lin Feng quickly replied: "Young Master has always been busy, please don't be offended by Mrs. Sister-in-law, just get used to it." Su Xiu nodded, "I know..." I know, I know, after all, Bai Jin has to bear so much, she doesn't even say it's hard, she should be proud of her. Lin Feng pointed to the atrium garden full of flowers, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of my garden?" It is impossible to say that it is extremely elegant, but it is enough to say that it is rich and prosperous, bright yellow and red, and luxuriant.But as far as Su Xiu's heart was concerned, he had already reached the end of the bustling place, but he couldn't stand the glamorous splendor, so he agreed, "This garden is really very compatible with Lin Feng." Lin Feng was very happy when he was praised, "Young master always said that my taste is a bit problematic, but most of the refined scholars in the world, such as me who pursue beauty, are also a different kind of person. They always smell the fragrance of green bamboos, but think of the beauty of peonies. What does my sister-in-law think? " Su Xiu's heart moved slightly, and seeing Lin Feng's extraordinarily serious expression, he suddenly felt that if he waited for someone who didn't see impetuousness, would there be other sources of these behaviors?I always smell the fragrance of green bamboo, but miss the beauty of peony... A thought came to Fang's mind, the door in front of him opened automatically, Lin Feng sent Su Xiu in, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, the servants will bring water in later, take a good rest, Lin Feng is going to find the young master first." Su Xiu raised her lips and nodded slightly. Lin Feng trotted through the garden all the way, and returned to the front hall. Bai Jin was still standing with his adoptive father Lin Chaoxi, looking at the account book carefully in his hand. He leaned over and patted Bai Jin on the shoulder, "Master Bai is really amazing! Ah... where did I find such a beautiful wife, she is so sweet that my heart is moved." "What are you thinking?" Bai Jin glanced at him. Lin Feng scratched his head, "Don't you think Mrs. Sister-in-law has some rich and noble temperament? Others can't see it. People like me can see it at a glance." Bai Jin squinted at him, "You are really wicked, you dare to say that to me." Lin Feng smirked, "Isn't this the young master, don't you usually mind..." Bai Jin closed the ledger, stepped forward coldly, "No, I don't mind this time." Lin Feng was startled, Bai Jin pushed the ledger back to Lin Chaoxi, and patted Lin Feng's head with the small fan in his hand, "Come with me, I have something to say." Lin Feng followed closely, and didn't dare to mention Su Xiu anymore. He thought that Bai Jin had been moved by the truth, but how could he know that the two of them had such a close relationship. With Bai Jin in front, the two arrived at a relatively quiet place in the back hall.She sat down slowly and said, "What's the recent move of Chonglouyuan?" Bai Jin is a thoughtful person. In order to be able to know the movements of the previous emperor's deployment, he set up branch halls wherever they existed. Originally, he planned to spend the financial resources of the imperial court to maintain the expenses of the branch halls in various places. How could he know? , but Changtianfang will bloom everywhere, getting bigger and bigger.It can be said that it was unintentional, but it made their follow-up actions more convenient. After all, there is no need to worry about a comfortable place to stay. When Lin Feng saw that he was getting down to business, he replied in a low voice: "Occupying the landlord doesn't do anything special, as usual, he is very busy with entertainment." "Who is always in Jinzhou in Jiutianmen recently?" Bai Jin knew that these places that are now taken over by the imperial court must have nothing to do with Jiutianmen, and so does his own Changtianfang. "Fu Baiqing, head of law enforcement at Nine Heavens Gate." "Fu Baiqing?" Bai Jin raised his eyebrows strangely, and then fell into silence. Fu Baiqing didn't go down the mountain all the year round, so why did he come to Jinzhou now.Even the daily contacts between Jiutianmen and Chonglouyuan should not be Fu Baiqing.After guessing for a while, she frowned and asked, "Any other trends?" "Jinzhou is fine. After all, it's a remote place. I was still saying that you won't come to Jinzhou to see us for a few years, son, but you're here so soon." Bai Jin smiled, "Didn't you ask to come to Jinzhou yourself, and now you're making arrangements for me to let you go too far?" Lin Feng scratched his head, the silver gown was shining brightly, "My lord is joking." Bai Jin got up and stretched, "I'm a little tired, where is the room, I'm going to have a rest." "It's still the original East Wing on the second floor, Mrs. Sister-in-law may be taking a bath..." Bai Jin raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Is it still a room?" Lin Feng responded strangely, "Isn't it? Dad only asked me to prepare one room in advance." Bai Jin "coughed", fortunately, this Lin Chaoxi was really old and disrespectful, and he was not ashamed to stroke his beard and continue to smile honestly, making no secret of that he thought he had done a great thing. Bai Jin shook his head, waved his small fan and walked towards the east wing of the back garden. The dense water vapor almost steamed Su Xiu into the clouds, and she lay in the five-spice soup made of five-flavored Chinese herbs such as angelica, rose, and vanilla, and fell asleep for a long time.It wasn't until he heard a light knock on the door that he woke up and called out, "Who?" "Little lady! It's me." When the frivolous voice sounded, Su Xiu lay softly back in the water and shouted: "Come in." Bai Jin gently pushed the door open, leaving only a gap to slip in. Sure enough, Su Xiu was still lying in the water and rolling around, coquettishly saying with a bored look: "Bai Jin, the water is so comfortable, I I can't even get up." Bai Jin smiled slightly, wiped her hair, and said softly, "Get up quickly, don't catch cold." Su Xiu obediently climbed out of the water, yawned and said, "When shall we go to Chonglouyuan?" Bai Jin stopped, "Tonight." Bai Jin's so-called tonight is not an aboveboard visit. According to Su Xiu's original thought, Bai Jin and Zhan Qingxiao still have some friendship, so they should visit the door directly, how could they know that when the two of them were lying on the roof of the Chonglou Mandarin, it was the bright moon hanging high, and the round light covered the gauze At that time, Su Xiu looked at Bai Jin suspiciously, but she told her to take care of herself tightly, so that no one would notice her whereabouts because of her carelessness. Su Xiu glared at her in dissatisfaction. It has been some time since she practiced the "Pure Heart Dafa". With the entry of mountains and rivers, Su Xiu's hiding ability is probably even higher than Bai Jin's at this moment. The place where Chonglou is located is the avenue in front of the five-story small building with mountains and lakes, and cars come and go.The fragrant wind wafted by, and the voice of a woman who was Yingying, Yanyan, and Yingying Yanyan was coming from the building.Silk, bamboo and string music can be heard endlessly, creating a prosperous scene. "I'm sure, Lin Feng must like this place." Su Xiu said softly. Bai Jin looked at her unexpectedly, "You really know him very well. He used to love to come here when he had nothing to do, don't believe me." Su Xiu stared at the direction of his fingers, opened his mouth wide, but saw not far away, on the avenue in front of Chonglouyuan, a man in silver shirt was smiling very ostentatiously, walking towards the direction of the two of them. It was Zhonglou Yuanyuan who came. "Huh?" Su Xiu looked at Bai Jin strangely. Bai Jin should trust Lin Feng a lot, so what's going on here. Lin Feng obviously didn't know that the two of them had come out, and he greeted the passing merchants and passers-by with smiles all the way. Seeing that Bai Jin lost his mind for a moment, Su Xiu gently pushed her and asked, "Could it be that the person in Lin Feng's heart is the woman in this Chonglou Yuanli?" Bai Jin secretly praised Su Xiu's cleverness, but he was only half right.She shook her head, not intending to explain further, but let her see for herself. Lin Feng had already walked downstairs, and opened his mouth to ask, "Is sister Qingxiao here?" The woman in red downstairs said with a smile on her face: "The host said earlier that if Lin Feng didn't need the door stickers in Changtianfang, he just had to wait. The host is talking to the lord of Shang Li, please follow me." Shang Lisi?Chonglouyuan has such close contacts with the imperial court?However, thinking about the responsibilities of Chonglou Yuan, one can also understand that in the exchanges between overseas countries, beautiful women are often victims, and Chonglou Yuan is the place to cultivate victims. Wu's red sleeve, but a little more sympathy. Bai Jin tapped Su Xiu's shoulder, and after she realized it, the two of them moved towards the far right again, and after a while, they came to Bai Jin's so-called light-occupied room, pried open a tile, and left There is a gap, there are already waves of conversation between Zhan Qingxiao and the adults of Shang Lisi, overflowing the beams, the little thief Su Xiu wanted to listen carefully, but was stopped by Bai Jin, she waved her hand, probably saying this The words of the two are not important, just wait now. Who are you waiting for?Wait for Lin Feng. Su Xiu was full of curiosity, what was the relationship between Lin Feng and Zhan Qingxiao. She waited quietly, squatting with Bai Jin on the roof of Chonglou Yuan, enjoying the baptism of the cool breeze, not too comfortable.In fact, what Su Xiu was most worried about was that Lin Feng would dump the two of them out, but seeing that there was no strange look in Bai Jin's eyes, she was slightly relieved. I don't know when, when Su Xiu's eyes started to twitch, Lin Feng's voice finally came, "Sister Qingxiao, please make Lin Feng wait." Zhan Qingxiao's voice can be described as melodious, melodious, touching, soft and numb, or hearing such a voice, I am afraid that the resentment in my stomach will be dispelled in an instant, "Lin Feng is here to sit. I haven't come for a long time. Why do you want to come today? Sister is here." Lin Feng said: "Today I really saw a beauty, which reminded me of my sister. I can't sleep at night, so I came here to relax." Zhan Qingxiao was as surprised as Su Xiu. Su Xiu's accident naturally came from what he said, and it might be himself; Zhan Qingxiao's accident came from Lin Feng's next words: "Young master also returned to Jinzhou, bringing his fiancée..." Zhan Qingxiao exclaimed, "What? Bai Jin didn't even come to see me." This sentence was full of resentment, so that Su Xiu squinted at Bai Jin, her face was full of innocence, those watery eyes obviously did not miss the rumored love story of the rich mandarin mandarin house. "Young Master still cares about Sister Qingxiao very much." Zhan Qingxiao complained repeatedly, "I already have a fiancée, why do you still miss me?" Lin Feng hurriedly said: "With Lin Feng here... for the sake of my sister, I am willing to stay in a corner of Jinzhou, and I will not go anywhere." Zhan Qingxiao sneered, "Nonsense, you are obviously thinking about my sister in the palace, so what have you got to do with me?" At this point, Su Xiu probably heard something. She first slashed at the merciless Young Master Bai Jin, who accepted it unceremoniously, and listened to Lin Feng and Zhan Qingxiao's singing with great interest. . If it was the younger sister of the well-known Chonglou Mandarin House, she would indeed be a beautiful woman, and Lin Feng's sentence "I always smell the fragrance of green bamboos, but miss the beauty of peonies" presumably refers to Zhan Qingxiao's younger sister.He turned out to be an infatuated kind.Thinking of his liking that was out of the secular world, he suddenly felt normal. People, as long as there is an obsession, they will love the house and blacken it. At this moment, it finally turned to the main topic, that is, Zhan Qingxiao suddenly said to Lin Feng: "Mr. Xixiang brought the little lady to Jinzhou this time, just to see the Changtianfang Jinzhou Hall?" Lin Feng replied with a smile: "How do you know, maybe it's just to meet your sister." The teacup was lightly opened, and Su Xiu seemed to be able to imagine the elegance of that woman's tea, "Don't say it, Changtianfang Baijin is the only young man who cherishes fragrance in the martial arts world. Every time he plays chess and piano with me, it makes me think about it several times." , not as simple as you." Lin Feng laughed again, "Oh? I'm very simple...?" "At least it's clear. It's not like Bai Jin, who always has something to say, and often makes me think about what he said after he left." "This shows that the young master is knowledgeable, unlike me, he is indeed very superficial." Zhan Qingxiao's voice became more and more charming, "Lin Feng, are you jealous? You obviously only have my sister in your heart..." "There should be love for a long time." "Nonsense!" Zhan Qingxiao laughed softly, and took a long time to rest, "Recently, I'm really irritable. Many adults come to me, talking about things, and I'm so tired every day." Lin Feng hurriedly said: "Why do these adults have so much trouble with you, sister? Do you need Lin Feng to take care of it for you?" Su Xiu secretly said hello, and looked at Bai Jin.Sure enough, Lin Feng was still on Bai Jin's side, but even though Bai Jin let him come here to inquire about the situation, he still personally guarded Chonglou Yuan. Bai Jin cursed inwardly, it seems that this kid often used things from Changtianfang to buy Zhan Qingxiao. Zhan Qingxiao was a little surprised, but still calmed down, "No need. It's all old stuff, they all think I'm so stupid..." Lin Feng didn't understand, Bai Jin knew what she was talking about as soon as he heard it. During the Dayuan period, the Zhan clan was found to have hidden evil intentions, and the nine clans should be imprisoned for their crimes.Zhan Qingxiao, who had just become a favorite concubine, instantly fell from the sky to the mortal world because of this incident.The head of the Zhan family was beheaded at the Meridian Gate, and all those involved were exiled to the frontier.On the day before his departure, Zhan Qingxiao was secretly sent to the southwest frontier by Yuan Qing, and his main job was Chong Lou Yuan. Bai Jin knew that this was the emperor's greatest forgiveness to the Zhan family, because there were many members of the Zhan family who followed Zhan Qingxiao.This is also the reason why Bai Jin chose to send Lin Feng to Jinzhou.With such an incident of overwhelming kindness, it is impossible for the emperor not to hand over the thing to Zhan Qingxiao. It's just that she would guess like this, and many people in the court would also guess like this, including Fengdi Feng Yilin. "Could it be that the emperor..." Zhan Qingxiao's voice sounded slowly, "Forget it, it's all over, and I don't want to mention it anymore. There is nothing else to do today, so go back and rest first." "Yes, before Lin Feng came, he put my sister's favorite overseas agarwood on the second floor." Bai Jin couldn't laugh or cry and scolded this troublesome boy again. He spent all Changtianfang's money to flatter him. Sure enough, Zhan Qingxiao's mood suddenly improved, and his voice softened a bit, "Okay, I'll let you be the last one later." Ceylon, who I like, will accompany you back." What the two said next, Su Xiu didn't have time to listen.Because Bai Jin was explaining some things to herself, she said that since Zhan Qingxiao still missed her, she would greet her head-on, and what Su Xiu had to do was to search for possible Xuantian gossip in Chonglouyuan. The place of the residual image. Su Xiu was curious, "Shouldn't this thing be on Zhan Qingxiao's body?" Bai Jin had a smile in his eyes, "Of course not. Changtianfang's was originally on the plaque. I still remember the gossip and hexagrams I taught you a few days ago." Yes, although the map drawn on my body marked all the places where the gossip fragments were hidden, there were no other reminders.For example, I am in Chonglouyuan at the moment, but I don't know where Remnant Map will be in Chonglouyuan, I still need to understand it by myself.Originally, she and Bai Jin came all the way, and at night she would teach herself how to read and write, practice the "Pure Heart Dafa", and she would also point out the gossip and trigrams to help her know.Bai Jin is very straightforward, if the two of them get separated someday, at least Su Xiu will have the ability to walk the rivers and lakes by himself. Qiantian, Kundi, Zhenlei, Genshan, Lihuo, Kanshui, Duize, Xunfeng.Of these eight hexagrams, which one is Chonglou Yuanyuan?In Su Xiu's heart, he blamed his father for making things so complicated, wouldn't it be better to be simpler? Suddenly, she leaned close to Bai Jin's ear and whispered, "I probably guessed it." "how?" "Chonglou mandarin ducks are all women, and women are yin and water. This Chonglou mandarin duck should be the Kan hexagram." Bai Jin gently twisted her nose, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I have to look at you with admiration." Su Xiu gave her a dissatisfied look. At this time, Lin Feng had already left, and Bai Jinfang was about to straighten his clothes and enter the Chonglou through the front door, but he heard Zhan Qingxiao's soft words from below him, "When did Mr. Bai become a thief on the beam? When you meet people, you are not afraid that your fiancée will be jealous." Su Xiu looked at Bai Jin in surprise, she was not found, how could Bai Jin be found?When did my own concealment skills actually beat him? Bai Jin smiled wryly, and waved her hand, meaning not to act rashly, so he stepped lightly on his own, and walked in through Zhan Qingxiao's open window. "Bai Jin has always been famous for appreciating fragrances and jades, pitying fragrances and cherishing jades, but it also has a title that others don't know." Zhan Qingxiao stood up slowly, and looked at Bai Jin with a smile on his face. Bai Jin walked towards her, slid one hand over the white jade and suet-like skin, and whispered rather ambiguously: "Of course it's stealing incense and jade." Zhan Qingxiao patted her hand away, shaking with laughter, "As expected of Bai Jin, I feel a little better when you come." "What? Which Xiao Xiao has made you unhappy recently? Bai Jin will teach him a lesson for you?" Zhan Qingxiao leaned softly on the big chair, with light white slender fingers pressed against Bai Jin's chest, but was gently avoided by him, and smiled unconsciously, "What is the difference from you? They are all harboring ghosts, no one Sincere." Bai Jin grabbed her hand and brought it into his arms, "How do you say, it's all because I didn't come to see you all these years?" "How dare you!" Zhan Qingxiao slammed the opponent fiercely, "You have your number one beauty Qiu Yeqing, you are accompanied by Lin Xiyuan from Liuyun Villa, and now you even have a beautiful wife in your arms, how can you remember me like this?" Poor woman in remote Jinzhou." Su Xiu, who was hunching over and flitting quickly, almost bit his own tongue. Bai Jin is obviously very used to dealing with such situations, and softly comforted her, "You have someone else in your heart, how can you say that Bai Jin doesn't care?" Zhan Qingxiao was obviously stunned, and immediately withdrew his hand, walked back to the original place, poured a cup of tea for Bai Jin, and passed it slowly. With Su's sleeves out, he looked up curiously without suppressing it, just in time to meet Bai Jin's gaze, sticking out his tongue and then backing down, the floating light flashed by, but captured the beauty of Zhan Qingxiao fundus. There are many kinds of women. If the orchid blooms quietly and fragrantly in the empty valley, it is the arrogance of Lin Xiyuan standing in Liuyun Villa overlooking the clouds and smoke; Ye Qing; there is also Ruo Baijin, which is full of mysterious poison, seductive evil, and the charm of a short-lived woman; there is also Zhan Qingxiao, which is really a beautiful peony, extremely graceful, Her black hair is like lacquer, her skin is like jade, her beautiful eyes look forward, and there is an indescribable charm in every frown and smile.Beautiful but not bewitching, gorgeous but not vulgar, charming and charming, incomparable. Bai Jin took the teacup and got straight to the point, "Why, those people still want your thing?" Zhan Qingxiao frowned, "I said it earlier, it has nothing to do with me, I am just a small host exiled here, how can I have that thing? The imperial court will not let me go, why do you say such things." Not to tell the truth.Woman... Bai Jin watched Zhan Qingxiao's eyebrows and movements carefully, and a wisp of white smoke hovered in front of her eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Why is Bai Jin not willing to believe you, but because Zhan's family committed such a serious crime back then, Emperor Xiaowu just sent you here. From the outside, it is exile; from the inside, it is extremely distressing. Even His Majesty Feng Emperor will doubt you, let alone Bai Jin." "What is Xuantian gossip? If it is possible to have Zhan Qingxiao, will the emperor let me go? First find someone to raze Chonglou Yuan to the ground, and dig three feet to dig it out. I stayed until now?" Oh...it turns out that those people wanted Xuantian gossip, but Bai Jin only wanted the residual picture. She smiled, followed Zhan Qingxiao's words and said with her head down, "If the former emperor really dared to put the gossip of Xuantian on you Qingxiao, it would be really a blessing to the Holy Heaven." Zhan Qingxiao's voice turned soft, rather melancholy, "Grace to Shengtian? In the end, it's just a cloud of smoke, drifting in the long river once, and everything is gone." At this time, Su Xiu had climbed over the fence and touched the middle of the backyard.He didn't even notice that the battle between Bai Jin and Zhan Qingxiao was in full swing in that square inch of land at the moment.However, since Bai Jin has set aside time for himself and kept Zhan Qingxiao, he should also take advantage of this moment to get a good feel for the bottom of Chong Louyuan, where the possible location of Remnant Map is. In fact, she didn't understand Bai Jin, Ruo Sui Sanhan, they could go straight up to Yanxue Mountain to show their identities; but when facing Zhan Qingxiao, she made every possible detour, obviously thinking that if it could be stolen, she would not know her face. Explain it to Zhan Qingxiao. Although Su Xiu doesn't understand, she trusts Bai Jin.Whatever Bai Jin said, she would do. According to what she and Bai Jin said just now, her eyes fell on a round lake in the back garden, surrounded by several women in red, sitting or standing, seemingly unintentionally, but actually on guard.The hexagram Kan is water, or the remnant picture is in this round lake.It's just how to get into the water, Su Xiu is a little embarrassed and doesn't know what to do. Pulling everyone away seems to be the way to win with one move, but it will inevitably involve too much trouble, not to mention that Chonglouyuan is an important place in the eyes of the court, if there is any rash action, they will all be exposed to the court's eyes, so she thought about it , still standing still and hiding in the corner, watching the waves of the lake. At this time, the woman in red who was closest to him suddenly said: "I don't know what's going on recently, there are always many people coming to see the landlord, you see Lin Feng who just sent away Changtianfang, and I don't know who is here, and the lights are not on. off." The person next to him looked at the full moon hanging high, and sighed, "Could it be the one from Jiutianmen?" Su Xiu regained his energy suddenly, and heard the other party answer: "Fu Baiqing? I think he is very sincere to the landlord. I hope the landlord will not be hurt again this time." Fu Baiqing?He has such a relationship with Zhan Qingxiao?Su Xiu suddenly felt suspicious, but saw that the two women standing in front of him suddenly began to mutter again. Unknowingly, he gritted his teeth and quietly touched the big rock by the lake. The "Pure Heart Dafa" was released slowly, and the whole body and the big stone instantly into one.Those two were still talking privately, and everyone was wandering around the round lake, no one noticed Su Xiu's movements. She took a deep breath, this was her first time going deep into a dangerous situation, and also the first time she acted alone.A little nervous, but also a little excited, looking back at Zhan Qingxiao's room, the light inside is still yellowish, and the reflections are in pairs. I think Bai Jin is still reminiscing with him, so I calm down, stretch my feet slowly, and think about it unconsciously. Slip into the water. According to her state of natural fusion of "Pure Heart Dafa", it is not uncommon to slide into the water without knowing it, but when her feet moved forward slightly, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her ankle, and within a moment, the bell rang loudly , She was so shocked that she immediately withdrew her feet, hurriedly lowered her body, and hid herself behind the boulder. Watching groups of women in red begin to search around the round lake, she gritted her teeth and moved her body, hoping to take the opportunity to rush out of the fence, but the ringing of the bells only attracted a lot of people, and it was not good for a while Breaking through, she frowned, with a little sweat on her forehead, not knowing what to do. Just when she was in a stalemate, there was a burst of shouting from a distance, several women's screams rang out frequently, several people fell from the roof, and then a black shadow quickly passed over the room, and at this moment , The women in red who had come towards the round lake drew their swords and rushed towards the black shadow on the house. Su Xiu stroked the bouncing heart and realized who that black figure was, and Master Mo came back!A feeling of guilt and joy lingered in her heart, she gritted her teeth, quickly escaped from the dark place, and ran towards Mo Xichen. Zhan Qingxiao quickly recovered from the ambiguous conversation with Bai Jin, and looked out the window. She turned fiercely to look at the unmoved Bai Jin, and the two of them looked at each other for a long time before she calmed down and said coolly, "Master Bai, you are so ruthless." Bai Jin smiled slightly, "Are you cruel? What does it have to do with me?" Zhan Qingxiao was stunned, then gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, it has nothing to do with you." She turned around and opened the door, "It's getting late, Mr. Xixiang, let's go back earlier." Bai Jin nodded, stood at the gate for a while, then suddenly turned around and said, "Think about it, sometimes when you don't know how to choose, just think about your past and make a decision." "What do you mean by that!" Zhan Qingxiao stood up suddenly, very dissatisfied. Bai Jin's lips floated, "It doesn't mean anything. I just hope you don't go astray." Zhan Qingxiao rushed forward and stopped Bai Jin, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, "What is the wrong way? What is the right way?" Bai Jin turned around, "You don't need Bai Jin to explain, Qingxiao, you should know." Zhan Qingxiao took a step back and put some distance away from her, "I don't know anything. When I know, I will definitely share it with you, Bai Jin." Bai Jin sighed softly, "Why bother?" Zhan Qingxiao turned around slowly, and leaned gracefully by the window facing the river. Right now, there was silence around the round lake, and there were still many women in red guarding nearby. She quietly looked into the distance, her eyes moved slightly, "You let's go." "Okay, I'm leaving." Bai Jin didn't force her, and she was dressed in white clothes, sinking into the darkness.Zhan Qingxiao's shoulders trembled slightly, and he couldn't hold back his tears. Su Xiu followed all the way, and finally after Mo Xichen got rid of the women's army who was chasing, he succeeded in side by side with him. The two of them walked slowly in a bamboo forest. Finally, she couldn't hold back her excitement and rushed to Mo Xichen's side, "Master, have you recovered from your injury? Are you all right?" Mo Xichen avoided it without a trace, and let out a dull "hmm". Su Xiu didn't feel disobedient at all. Mo Xichen didn't talk much at first, so she got used to it after getting along for a long time. She walked around Mo Xichen back and forth for a long time, and then asked hesitantly, "Master, when will you come back?" of?" Mo Xichen replied: "I have arrived a few days ago. I have been following behind, and Bai Jin will not let me appear." "Ah, you guys have been hiding it from me." Mo Xichen glanced at her, as if he didn't intend to explain further.Su Xiu got bored, so she had no choice but to stare back, waiting for Bai Jin to appear. Sure enough, this is the place where Bai Jin and Mo Xichen made an appointment to meet. When he saw Su Xiu staying in the bamboo forest without saying a word, Bai Jin was slightly taken aback, and asked with concern: "Just now?" Not hurt?" It was only then that Su Xiu remembered that he followed Mo Xichen all the way, and unexpectedly forgot the pain in his ankle, and after a soft cry, he sat down on the ground.Bai Jin hurriedly stepped forward, held her left foot, and glanced at Mo Xichen, who immediately turned around knowingly, and she untied the leggings under Qingxing's clothes, revealing a section of white and tender skin like jade. I saw an obvious red mark on the ankle, which was already oozing blood. When I touched Su's sleeve lightly, I frowned in pain. It was obvious that it was cut by a sharp knife. Bai Jin laughed, "You are tired. Injury is really Bai Jin's fault." "It's me. After several days of investigation, I didn't find this hidden setting." Seeing what Mo Xichen said, Su Xiu also guessed that although he had come back, he still had to avoid Lin Feng and the others. After all, even if you trust such things, you should be careful. Bai Jin sighed, took out a piece of plain white silk with a scent from her bosom to wrap her wound, and explained, "Although Lin Feng is loyal to me, I have never told him about Remnant Map. In his heart, he always misses Zhan Qingxiao's younger sister—Concubine Rong, who is now in full swing, and there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. So as soon as Xichen appeared, I asked him to check everyone's movements in Chonglou Yuanyuan first. " Su Xiu supported the bandaged ankle, but saw Mo Xichen staring at the silk.Unconsciously, she retracted her legs and supported Bai Jin's shoulders to stand up. Bai Jin raised her lips narrowly, "This silk was given to me just now by Zhan Qingxiao. Seeing your Master Mo's face, I'm afraid I'll be jealous again." 苏袖忍着足踝处的抽疼，也跟着愉快地笑了。 白锦在地上画了幅图，正是根据墨昔尘口述下的方位，坐北朝南的重楼鸳，南面的大道以一条宽宽的石桥连接，桥下水波荡漾，与重楼鸳软语细言的女子们相得益彰，而重楼鸳除却面客的这一主楼，东西方向一排同样装饰华丽的房屋环抱住院中小湖。用墨昔尘的话说，从来没有见过这等奇怪和复杂的房屋建筑。 白锦点头，“重楼鸳只有主楼是对外迎客的，内中房屋错综的确是十分难行。” 她忽然转头看向正低头看着自己所画图样的苏袖，“这般复杂你居然一下子便找见当心圆湖，很是不易。” 苏袖有些不好意思地点头，“在主楼顶上偷听占轻绡与林枫对话时候，因是最高所以格外留意。这重重叠叠的房屋也是掩不住那圆湖风色，可能因为自己晓得残图与水有关，所以一寻了机会，就径直从房梁上到了圆湖那处。” 白锦终于忍不住笑出了声，看向此刻一声不吭的黑面阎王墨昔尘，“你晓得你师傅为何方才不与你多说话吗？他在重楼鸳里探了如此多天毫无进展，却被你一举踏中机关，如何不生自己的气。” 苏袖张大了嘴，半晌才冲着墨昔尘道：“师傅，不过就赢了你一次，无须如此痛苦。” 话刚说完，她与白锦就笑到了一处，好半天才恢复，继续说那重楼鸳残图的事情。 “要说重楼鸳里，还是占轻绡最难应付，此人在江湖朝堂都很受尊崇，武功也是极高，所以万事想要脱开她的控制，有些难。今番她是被我牵制，下回可就有些难了。” 自今日起，占轻绡定会将惜香公子列为戒备对象，想到这里，白锦便叹了口气。 墨昔尘说：“有机会。” "what?" “五日之后，重楼鸳将应皇命，送出一批精心培养的美人至邻国，其中便包括重楼鸳排位第三的美人凤筱筱，当日重楼鸳会举行宴会为诸人送行。” 白锦恍悟，“我居然忘记了这等事儿，如此盛景，江湖之中也有美言，尊为'送美宴'，与我们长天坊的珍宝大会甚可比拟。每到此时，便有无数江湖豪杰、文人雅士来到锦州这边远小镇，便是要瞧瞧今趟送出的美人，究竟是何国色天香。” 苏袖却忽然默然不语。送美宴即便是与珍宝大会同等声势，在她心里，却又大打折扣。本应享受大好年华的诸多美人，却要在重楼鸳里往来送迎，更要面临着离开国土前往他国，即便是声名浩大的送美宴，也不过是祭奠她最美好年华的一场盛事儿。也只有在这一刻，她才体验到女人为物的悲凉。幸好父皇选择逃离海上，而不是将她们留在宫中，否则最后的命运，恐怕比那些女人还要惨。 白锦拍了拍她的肩，将其从沉思中拍醒，“好啦。五天后的事情三天后再想，这三日先好好养你的脚，别伤了筋络。” 苏袖应下，起身要走，果然乌鸦嘴应灵，她跛了下脚就疼得走不动路。 后来是白锦背她回去的，墨昔尘也不知如何是好，一会儿想上前帮个忙却又怕白锦着恼，一会儿想又怕白锦太累几度想要接应却又担心苏袖不许，三个人默默然地回了锦州堂，倒是将林枫惊讶得合不拢嘴。 他压根不知道何时白锦出去，更不晓得白锦身旁时常相随的墨昔尘是何时归来。只看苏袖迷迷糊糊地耷拉个脑袋显然睡了良久，身外还罩着墨昔尘的外裳，这才惦记起来上前问安。白锦用眼色制止了他，轻声道：“袖儿贪玩，夜里非要出去看灯，以至于此刻才归，哪里晓得居然碰见了随后赶来的昔尘，你着紧地替昔尘准备好房间，我先送袖儿回去歇息。” 林枫挤眉弄眼，只觉白锦待这小娘子果真是实心实意，何时见过惜香公子如此背负着一个女子。要知晓江湖之中多少美人想要入了惜香公子的帐内，又或者是想进白家大门，终是不可得，最后居然叫如此良人拴缚，倒也颇有公子平日特立独行的风范。 林枫赶着去替墨昔尘张罗房间，白锦则对一直沉默不言的墨昔尘示意了下，“去将林掌事儿请过来。” 苏袖与白锦的房间里，林朝西匆匆忙忙地赶了过来，他一进屋就奇怪地看向坐在凳上捧着茶盏的白锦。 “公子……这是……” “此事儿还是避开林枫比较好。”虽则林枫在重楼鸳毫无异样，但始终白锦心中总觉着不踏实，思来想去决定将林枫先放在外围，而启用自己一向都十分尊敬的林朝西。 “夫人怎么了？”林朝西一听此话，还是压低了嗓门，看着白锦走上前，撩起衣摆将苏袖的脚搁在了自己的腿上。 苏袖一声轻呼，还是颇为羞赧，虽白锦与自己同为女子，但眼见着有外人在，还是红了面庞，垂着眼睛不敢看对方。 白锦笑，“林掌事都足以做我二人的爹爹，无妨的，他医术一向比我好，着他来就是要帮你看看这足踝是否有暗伤。” 苏袖抬眼看了看林朝西，咬唇点了点头。林朝西忙走上前，也不似白锦那般放肆，只是探头瞧了眼，问：“夫人现在感觉如何？” 苏袖拧了拧足踝，紧蹙眉心，“若只是外伤，应是无碍的，只是眼下感觉抽痛阵阵，怕是伤到了筋骨。” 回想起湖边探脚的那一幕，无意之中折射出一道红光在自己的脚旁，而光影掠过才是铃声大作。她咬唇自言自语，“该不会有毒吧？” 话刚落音，白锦便看向林朝西，“林掌事？” 林朝西眯着眼蹲下，不一会儿就起身与垂帘后头站着的墨昔尘耳语了几句，才躬身对白锦道：“公子别担心，我已经让墨兄弟去取药去了，不出十日，定能痊愈。” 十日？ 苏袖与白锦面面相觑，五日后的那大好机会怎能错过？见二人面有苦相，林朝西还安慰了几句，“无妨的，虽然伤了筋骨，但好在没有中毒。但切记不能碰水。” 白锦点了点头，将覆在苏袖踝上的丝绢取下，原准备放回怀中，却被苏袖拿住，满面通红地看着上头的血迹点点，“我洗完后再还给你吧。” 白锦诧异地看了眼上头的污血，不以为意地递回给了苏袖，口中轻叹，“五日后我与昔尘二人前去也好，免得我担心你。” “那不成！若是叫我在这里等你们，我会更加紧张的。” 三人缺一不可，这是苏袖心里的愿望。自从一路行来，她对二人的感觉越加亲近，只希望能一辈子都在一起，若是少了谁不在恐怕都会浑身不自在，更何况是让他二人单独行动，把自己落在这里，只会徒增担心。 白锦无奈，上前轻声说：“如何？小娘子此番是定要与我等一起了？” “那是自然。”苏袖不争气地看着自己微微抽疼的足踝，冥思苦想对策，总归不想被一个人丢下，终于她啊了一声，转怒为喜地看向白锦，“我倒是有一个办法。” 这时墨昔尘握着几个小瓷瓶走了进来，见二人举止亲昵，也是无奈摇头，对白锦这等处处留情的毛病当真没辙。若非苏袖与自己也十分渊源，此刻他又有上前分开二人的冲动。他黑着脸将瓷瓶递给了白锦，自己又转身走到了垂帘后头，不去看苏袖裸露出来的足踝。 白锦松开手，跪下来替苏袖上着药，口中问道：“有何方法？” “那日既然是送美宴，我看不若你这名满江湖的惜香公子前去捧场，让占轻绡放松警惕，而我则与暗处探查是否有外人侵扰以备随时应对，只是要辛苦墨师傅入水一趟，找寻那残图。” 白锦思忖着可行，自己苦笑着说：“如此说来，总是我占些便宜。” “哪里能计较那些，何况拖住占轻绡才行，否则若让她脱得身来，我们都有麻烦。” “只是这入水寻图，哪里是这么简单。”白锦替苏袖包扎好，坐回原处拍着自己的腿轻声道。 这时墨昔尘从帘外探头，“简单。” “嗯？”苏袖与白锦同时发出了疑问。 “水道相通，从外围大道下的水里，可以直接游进重楼鸳的后园湖中。” 白锦眯着眼睛想了半晌，最后咬牙说：“时间不等人，就这么办吧。五日后最危险但也的确最安全，我会让林掌事准备好一应物事，以备不时之需。” 夜里，苏袖躺在床上如何都睡不着。她闭上眼就念起萧茗的伤势，睁开眼就是自己的无能，翻过身便是这一路来的艰辛，再转身就听见隔壁房间里隐隐传来的春意，只好叹了口气用枕头盖住自己。 白锦墨昔尘，这二人何曾顾及到隔壁房间的别人……这到了明日，背黑锅的还是自己，一想起他人的眼光，她就有钻入地洞的冲动。 不过世事难料，谁能晓得江湖闻名的惜香公子其实是个女人，谁又能知道这个女人早已经有了性命相许的未婚夫。 咳咳，最要命的，还是他二人的感情如此之深，居然还能容忍化名惜香公子的白锦的四处风流，算来算去，都是一笔烂账。 烂账也比自己的账好。苏袖甩了甩头，坐在床上开始修炼“清心大法”，自己只有更强，才不能拖累白锦，也不会让墨师傅为了自己受伤。如今“清心大法”已经进入第三重境界。 她还记得萧茗的“冥心大法”已经进入第七重，自己不过才三重而已，不知何时才可追上。又因为今日自己意外受伤，终于将她心里本来并没有的争强好胜激发出来，顿时间整个房间内外如进入了虚空世界，万物皆停，风吹不动，树摇无声，只有一滴水，仿若凭空而来，在心湖之上，点滴渗透，顿时，一股寒气在房内刮过，屋外还是盛暑仲夏，屋内已经是凛冽寒冬。 一口清气缓缓吐出口，苏袖睁开眼时候已经差不多天光将亮，眸内是精光流转，显然是心法得当进阶在望的象征。房门轻轻打开，白锦打了个寒战，看向打坐在床上正自修习的苏袖。 二人相视，莞尔一笑。 苏袖让过自己的位置，朝内躺下，看着白锦似笑非笑地靠了过来，轻声说：“这明日，可又要袖儿替你背这黑锅，幸好是你，别人我还不耐管了。” 白锦侧身，情事过后红晕未消，糅合了阴阳两性之美的面上，方浮现出一丝女人的娇媚，却又让刚转过身的苏袖觉着孽障得可怕。苏袖好奇地凑过头，看向白锦的脖子。那脖颈上的花纹，不知为何仿若能滴出血来，红得惊人。 白锦摸了摸肩颈处，柔声解释道：“亡国那日，我命人在这里刺上的，白棋已死，白锦重生。” 苏袖伸手轻轻地触了下，轻声道：“这些年，苦了你了。” 话刚说完，就瞥见她脖间衣襟内深藏着的吻痕，顿时面红耳赤，话也说不利落，指着那里支吾了半天，旋即将薄被往脸上一捂，浮想联翩。 被子外头的白锦似乎哧哧笑了半天，扯开她的被子，戳着那白嫩的脸蛋问：“我的小袖儿尝过那番滋味吗？” 苏袖想起的便是第一次被萧茗按在树上吻了好一会儿的缠绵滋味，又想起二人亲近时候的那番悸动，最终是水中赤裎相见时的万千旖旎。但终究是半途而废，于是倒也实实在在地回答白锦：“怎么会……怎么能尝过……” “我与你说啊，若是与自己的爱人身心融合，简直是无上美事儿。” 苏袖打了个哆嗦，或者正是想到了那场面，更加红了脸短了胆气，“不说了不说了，羞死人了。” 白锦轻笑了半天，挪到她耳畔说道：“等来日小袖儿要嫁人时候，白锦一定告诉你这个中滋味。” 想起苏袖心中那人是萧茗，白锦又卧回床上，双手撑头看着床顶上细致的纹路，“可惜啊，可惜。” 苏袖知晓她说的可惜是为什么，自然不答，甩手说：“白锦你别想太多，若不能杀了凤以林那狗贼，我此生都不打算嫁人。” 白锦沉默下来。 一时无语，二人就在静谧当中，各怀心事地度过了最后一个时辰，天光已然亮了。 四日后便是送美宴，锦州城非常热闹，来往人群绝对不比珍宝大会时候的人少。白锦与墨昔尘要张罗五天之后所需的水橇等物事儿，苏袖起身走了几步，只要不快步撒欢的跑已然没有大碍，所以与林枫白锦等人打了个招呼，想往大街上溜达一趟。 苏袖为了入乡随俗，也穿上了锦州女子的异族服饰，蒙上面纱倒也不怕，只是露着一截胳膊让她十分不自在，但如果不这样做，白锦又不许她独自出门。待她打扮妥当后，只留着一双会说话的弯弯眉眼在外，她作势笑了笑，才在林枫等人瞠目结舌下扬长而出。 白锦淡淡地说：“林枫，下回你那眼睛……” 林枫忙慌转身朝着白锦鞠了个躬，“嫂夫人实在是太美，小弟总是有些错觉而已。” 街道上来往的锦州女子，莫不是裹着轻纱罗裙，于薄衫之间泻出万千风情，隐隐约约美不胜收。来往的外族男子都直愣愣地看着锦州的曼妙景象，大感艳福不浅。林枫摇头晃脑，直说苏袖那一身牡丹香，教他情不自禁啊。 自然苏袖是不知锦州堂内的动静，她正站在最繁华的那条街上，眼前是锦州城看不见尽头的燕落街，燕落街上人头攒动，商铺林立。锦州多以弄堂小街为主，燕落街应该是最宽的一条城中大道。 买了几样锦州特产的荣华祥沉香，掌柜的见苏袖眸光如水，谈吐优雅，还多送了几种沉香小包，着其可以送给亲朋。苏袖也不推辞，拿着包好的香料返身出了荣华祥。 不意却正好撞上来人，她也没有在意，错身走开。耳听一个好听的声音，“抱歉。” 她微微一顿，低着头抱着香料走了出去。 心却在怦怦直跳，九天门云连邀！虽然说没有见过他几面，但这声音她识得的，想不到居然已经来了锦州，太可怕了。此刻她是连玩的心情也没有了，抬脚就朝着锦州堂走去。 可是方一疾步前行，修习过清心大法的苏袖，于动中取静，知晓已是被人跟踪上了。 她咬住牙，后悔这般大意地乱逛，居然还被别人盯梢，但是九天门的人也不认得自己，尤其是云连邀，她连面都没有照过，为何会跟上自己？心里一紧，或者还是在珍宝大会的时候，白锦的一番介绍，让自己露了馅。 像是没有发觉后头来人，她抱着香料挤进人群，走到其中一家放着各种玉石的铺子前，老板见有人站定，还很是欣喜地介绍着，“这位姑娘，是要看我们家的玉吗？锦州玉石可是我朝瑰宝啊。” 苏袖随意地点点头，心神全被后头那几个人吸引去了。 无数人身边擦过，但她的眼底却印着不远处忽然站定的蓝色袍角，越发确认，云连邀果然是盯上了自己。 额上微汗冒出，她慌张地对老板说了声谢谢，朝着锦州堂相反的方向走去。眼下还不是让长天坊与九天门反目成仇的时机，至少在她不确定对方是何缘故跟上自己，就一定不能拖白锦下水。 可是自己的足踝初初受伤，只能勉强走路，跑起来就一阵阵地抽痛。她拐了几个巷道，只觉力有不逮，忽然一个趔趄，扑在一个人怀中。 那人轻轻一兜，就将其温柔地扶好，口中甚是熟稔地说道：“苏袖姑娘这般惊慌，倒是让云连邀不知所措了。” 他连自己是谁都晓得！苏袖的眸子一紧，“你，你怎么知道我是谁？” “若连死对头的贴身侍婢都不认得，如何能做九天门的门主呢？”云连邀拂开她的面纱，很是暧昧地压低身子，这一幕让周遭经过的行人都吃吃地笑了，只有苏袖的心，刚一提起才缓缓放下，好在他只是因为自己是萧茗的侍婢的关系，而并非晓得自己的真实身份。 “原来是云大门主，却不晓得拦着我有何贵干？”即便如此，面对云连邀的时候她还是心底惴惴，只因为那双仿佛看进人心里去的眸子，仿佛墨玉一般，映衬人心。 云连邀的面上同样罩着银丝软甲，如今这谜一般的人物，只是嘴角轻拂，“听闻苏袖姑娘贴身服侍萧茗数年，令他非常满意。早前你离开地狱门的时候，便有人知会我此事儿，想来你应该是不会拒绝去九天门的吧？” 他想通过自己解决萧茗？意识到可能是这问题后，苏袖自然也不可能答应他。 “我一直以为九天门都是正人君子。”苏袖认真地回答了他。 云连邀笑，“我何时说过云连邀是正人君子了？” 苏袖一面周旋，手中也在蓄力，清心大法走了一个周天，迅速地将那寒气逼入掌心，只待下一刻能够脱离险境。 云连邀又岂是寻常人，他借故上前，一股压制的力量从肩头直灌掌心，朝着苏袖的身体里冲刷而去。暗劲相逼，竟然让苏袖的手无法动弹，额上反倒是渗出了点点细汗，在云连邀的下一句话里彻底失去抵抗。 一字一重气。 苏袖不过是清心大法将将三重之人，又有何能耐与其相持。 云连邀的眸中闪过一丝赞许，居然像提着小鸡一样将她抓在手中，笑意盎然，“在下与娘子有些争执，诸位看客可以散了，我们回家计较去。” 他于瞬间便点了苏袖的三重大穴，让她毫无动弹之力，眼睁睁地看着他抓着自己，离开了燕落街，朝着不认识的地方奔去。心里更是七上八下，他究竟意欲何为？二人上了一个土坡，四野无人甚是安静，只有虫鸣鸟叫掠过，清风阵阵，他才将苏袖放下，解开了她的哑穴。 “苏袖苏袖，原本以为你不过只是个小侍女，不值一提。
