Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Escape

He Qiaogu was about to pick it up with a smile on her face, but Yao Qing shook her hand and splashed her all over her face.He Qiaogu screamed, Yao Qing smiled and said: "Oh, I'm sorry." She reached out to help He Qiaogu wipe off the wine stains, but took advantage of the chaos with her fingertips, and pinched He Qiaogu's plump breasts hard. He Qiaogu let out a scream like killing a pig, and slapped Yao Qing with her backhand. Unexpectedly, Yao Qing was already prepared, she gently swiped the palm with her left hand, swung her right hand round, and slapped He Qiaogu's mouth fiercely on the face, shouting in her mouth : "What a bitch, dare to be rude to the guests?"

Poor He Qiaogu, a frail girl with no strength, was hit by this slap and turned somersaults and passed out on the spot. Shen Xiu originally looked at the two of them chattering and smiling, and she was really itchy, salivating, and she didn't know that a glass of wine in her hand was dripping down her crotch.Unexpectedly, suddenly, Yao Qing attacked suddenly, beating He Qiaogu so that she didn't know anything about her.Shen Xiu was startled at first, then shocked and angry, she thought that the owner of the first floor of He Qiaogu had a good relationship with her, and Yao Qing made such a fuss, how could she come here to have fun in the future.

At this time, a group of turtle slave thugs arrived, but seeing Shen Xiu at the table, they were all discouraged.Everyone in Qinlou Chuguan in this city does not recognize this Young Master Shen, they all know that he is very skilled in martial arts and has a good command of the government, so even though the servants arrived, they shrank their heads and only looked around the door. Yao Qing pretended nothing had happened, poured a glass of wine with a smile, and splashed it on He Qiaogu's face.Shocked by the cold wine, He Qiaogu woke up, got up and tried to escape, but Yao Qing pulled her shoulders, pressed her back to the table with a smile, and said, "Good mother, I'm quite offended, don't take offense."

He Qiaogu has played with all kinds of men and women in her life, but who knows that she will meet such a moody master today, just like a mouse meeting a cat, she can't help turning pale and trembling, the five finger marks on her face come from Red to purple, from purple to blue, high swelling, as if burned on the general. Yao Qing smiled and held her in her arms, while feeding her drinks, kissed and touched her, and teased her like a man.If it's really a different man, it's fine. He Qiaogu just happened to be coquettish and weeping, venting her grievances, but at this time being played by Yao Qing like this, she wanted to cry and couldn't laugh, so she swallowed her breath and drank a round of wine. Empress Dowager Lu had three thousand banquets.

Seeing that Yao Qing was so capricious, Shen Xiu didn't understand why, so she just sat aside and forgot to speak. Suddenly he heard a chuckle, he turned his eyes and saw Gu Zhen entering through the curtain with a smile, Shen Xiu frowned and stood up abruptly. Gu Zhen smiled, waved his hands and said: "Be safe and don't be impatient." As he spoke, he sat down with his robe lifted, and looked at Yao Qing with a smile in his eyes.When He Qiaogu saw him, as if she was a savior, she said in a trembling voice, "Master Gu...help, save me..." Gu Zhen nodded at her, and said with a smile: "Beautiful Yao, if you slap her and prostitute her again, you should have had enough resentment for being bullied by her that day." He Qiaogu panicked and said, "Mr. How can you come to trouble me? This girl is like a queen, even if I have a thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to bully her. "

Gu Zhen smiled and said nothing, but Yao Qing was afraid that he would reveal her identity as an ugly slave, so she smiled and said: "Good mother, go and do your work." Let go of He Qiaogu immediately.He Qiaogu seemed to have been pardoned and flew away. Yao Qing glanced at Gu Zhen, and said coldly: "What are you doing here?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Come to remind you?" Yao Qing just sneered. "Don't you believe me?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Look out of the window." In a blink of an eye, Yao Qing looked through the round window and saw Zuo Feiqing on the top of a tall building in the distance, sitting with her knees hugged, looking up at the moon, with a detached appearance .

Yao Qing bit her red lips, her eyes were murderous.Gu Zhen poured himself a drink and said with a calm smile: "When Feng Junhou was sixteen years old, he avenged a shepherdess and chased a group of horse thieves from the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to Lake Baikal. The horse thieves changed horses along the way and ran wildly day and night. After fleeing for ten days and ten nights, only one of the three hundred or so people survived, and it is said that because of exhaustion, hunger, fright and madness, Zuo Feiqing didn't bother to kill him, so he escaped with his life."

This matter was widely circulated in Jianghu, Yao Qing and Shen Xiu had heard of it, Yao Qing said: "So what?" "Don't you understand?" Gu Zhen said with a smile, "When Feng Junhou was young, he could chase and kill horse thieves without sleep for ten days and ten nights, and now he can stay awake for seven days and seven nights, guarding the girl .” Yao Qing picked up a glass of wine and said with a sneer, "You came here just to talk nonsense?" Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "Of course not, because I have a way to escape Feng Junhou's pursuit."

Yao Qing glanced at him, her eyes were full of color.Gu Zhen showed a wry smile: "You don't have to be so happy, I know you've been fooled. As long as you are in trouble, Lu Jian will help you desperately. I am his friend. If you want to help him, you must help me. Damn, I knew it was your trap, but I had no choice but to jump in." Yao Qing snorted softly, with a faint smile on her face, but she said indifferently: "Girl, I am better than you stinky fox. You should be fooled and suffer." Gu Zhen looked at her and sneered slightly.Shen Xiu saw that the two of them were only talking and didn't pay attention to themselves, she was annoyed in her heart, and couldn't help shouting: "Boy Wu, this is the place where grandpa spends money for fun, don't you think it's an eyesore when you sit here? "

Gu Zhen glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I spent a total of three thousand two hundred and sixteen taels and five cents to have fun tonight, right?" Shen Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and she wondered, "How do you know?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Not only do I know the money you spent tonight, but I also know that you have four houses in Nanjing, two in Wuxi and two in Hangzhou, and one garden in Suzhou. There are nine women in these nine houses. , three were given by Japanese pirates, three were kidnapped, and three were redeemed from brothels..." "You fart." Shen Xiu's face was bright red, and she stood up abruptly, with a murderous look in her eyes.

"Come on slowly, it's not over yet." Gu Zhen waved his hands and smiled, "You still have a large warehouse in Nanjing, and you have 35,000 stones of grain and rice. You want to wait until the famine year and hoard it. There are six households in Suzhou. The weaving workshop sells the raw silk spun to Suzhou for weaving, and the satin weaves is smuggled to the barbarians in the northwest; there is also a brothel, two gambling houses, and 20,000 taels of silver. Shen Xiuchu's face was full of anger at the beginning, but as Gu Zhen narrated, his face changed from anger to surprise, and then from shock to darkness. His eyes were bright and frightening. Suddenly seeing Yao Qing's gaze shifted, he couldn't help but sternly said: "Junior Sister, you Don't believe his nonsense..." A smile appeared on Yao Qingzhu's lips: "Yes, but it is very disappointing. If you really have such a big fortune, it would be enviable." Shen Xiu looked at her, momentarily in doubt, suddenly frowned, and slowly sat down. Yao Qing asked again: "Stinky fox, you have said a lot, but how much is it worth?" Gu Zhen pointed his fingers and said, "Only the principal is counted, not the interest. This Mr. Shen's property is worth two hundred thousand taels of silver for the time being." Yao Qing heard something in his words, she couldn't help laughing and said: "What is temporary?" Gu Zhen said: "The so-called temporary means that it is worth two hundred thousand taels today, and in a few months, it may not be worth a single penny." .” Shen Xiu was terrified when he heard that, Gu Zhen knew his bright and dark property like the back of his hand, and the estimated value had a slight error, but when he heard him say "it's not worth a penny", he suddenly felt terrified, but he couldn't figure out why. But he no longer has the interest to drink and have fun, looking at Gu Zhen, he couldn't help thinking: "Who is this person?" One must know that his success and fame only happened in the past two years. Before that, Gu Zhen had already been imprisoned on Prison Island, so Shen Xiu didn't know his name, so she couldn't figure out his details at this time. Gu Zhen got up calmly, walked to the window, and looked at it leisurely. On the river in the distance, a lotus lantern was slowly rising, and the precious light was shining like stars and moons.Gu Zhen turned around and smiled, "Beauty, it's time to leave." Yao Qing got up with a smile, Shen Xiu hurriedly said: "Junior Sister, where are you going?" Yao Qing said with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother, I will leave for now." Shen Xiu was furious, and stared at Gu Zhen fiercely.Gu and Yao ignored it and left the room side by side.Shen Xiu couldn't bear the shame and anger, suddenly threw down the money for the drink, laughed and said: "Good junior sister, didn't you say that? I'm homeless because you offended my father, so you just have the heart to leave me alone?" Yao Qing frowned slightly, but Shen Xiu didn't care if she was willing or not, and quickly rushed to separate her from Gu Zhen.Yao Qing couldn't help sighing: "Senior Brother Shen, you are really annoying." Shen Xiu said with a smile: "If you want to blame, then blame my junior sister for having a pair of soul-wrenching eyes. That day, with just one glance, my three souls and seven souls were hooked away. Alas, now senior brother, I am like a walking dead. The only way is to follow you to the ends of the earth and never leave." Yao Qing listened, and smiled lightly, but Gu Zhen said: "So, I have a way to revive my soul, and I don't know if it will work or not?" Shen Xiu was flirting happily, but was suddenly interrupted by him, and immediately glared at each other.Yao Qing smiled and said, "What method? Quickly teach me." Gu Zhen said: "First use a pot of black dog blood to wash brother Shen's hair and hands, then throw him in the cesspit and soak him for three days, not to mention three souls and seven souls, even seven souls and eight souls. I'm back." Before Shen Xiu could get angry, Yao Qing frowned and said, "You stinky fox, you not only cursed him for being possessed by evil spirits, but also accused me of practicing evil methods." Gu Zhen smiled and said: "How dare you, I am purely out of good intentions." Yao Qing sneered: "If you have good intentions, there will be no bad intentions in this world." Gu Zhen laughed, cupped his hands and said, "I've been praised by Yao Damei, and I'm about to walk that corpse and walk that flesh." Suddenly seeing Shen Xiu staring over, he smiled and said, "Brother Chen, don't worry, 'the walking dead These four words are exclusive to Xiongtai, there is only one family in the whole world, there is no other semicolon, even if my younger brother yearns for it, I dare not pick up my brother's teeth and wisdom, and tarnish Brother Shen's good name." He spoke eloquently, but every word was sinister and sinister, Shen Xiu was so angry that her face turned pale, although she hated Gu Zhen in her heart, but because of Yao Qing, she couldn't fight. Feeling stuffy, I suddenly saw a group of merchants coming from outside the door. One of them was potbellied and smiling, listening to the flood of flattery from everyone around him.Shen Xiu's eyes lit up, she hurried to catch up two steps, cupped her hands and said with a smile: "Master Hong, it's a pleasure to meet you." That "Master Hong" squinted his slender eyes and glanced at him, but he didn't return the greeting, he just smiled and said, "Brother Shen? Long time no see, which sister are you looking at tonight? How about Hong's treat?" Shen Xiu said with a smile: "Master Hong's kindness, how dare you not accept it? It's just that Mr. Shen has something to do, so why don't you go first?" Turning to Yao Qing, she said with a smile, "I'll introduce you to an earth-shattering big shot. It's called 'Throwing silver to break the river', if his family's silver is thrown in the Yangtze River, it can block the river water!" Yao Qing smiled lightly, but said nothing.Master Hong looked at her, with a lustful expression on his fat face, and drooling, "Here, is this a new girl? Brother Shen is so lucky..." Shen Xiu was extremely proud, and was about to say something polite, when Gu Zhen suddenly said with a smile: "Xiao Hong, you have a leisurely heart!" When Master Hong heard the sound, his fat body shook, he turned his head, and suddenly saw Gu Zhen, he just froze for a moment, the fat on his face twitched a few times, he broke free from the attendants on both sides, like a big ingot, rolled to the valley At Zhen's feet, he kept shouting: "Hello, Master Gu, hello, Master Gu, I'm blind, I didn't see you getting old, damn it." For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.This old master Hong was so majestic just now, but when he saw Gu Zhen, he was half shorter, and Shen Xiu was even more surprised. He knew that this old master Hong was a rich man, and he couldn't catch up with him, but now he was so in awe of this brat, It's unbelievable. Gu Zhen stretched out his hand, touched Master Hong's fat head, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hong, I heard that your name has also been changed, and it is called 'Investing in Banks and Breaking the River'. How prestigious?" Master Hong hurriedly said: "Then It was all the friends on the road who yelled indiscriminately, how can a small one be so majestic." "Really?" Gu Zhen smiled, "Although you can't cut off the Yangtze River, it's more than enough to block this little Qinhuai River." Master Hong was dripping with sweat, his clothes were soaked, and he said in a trembling voice, "Little one, I just came here to accompany a few friends. Next time, next time, I won't dare." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a woman giggling upstairs, Gu Zhen raised his eyes and saw Han Yu, Wan Niang, and Qiu Hen leaning on the Zhu Lan, looking over here. Gu Zhen smiled unconsciously, and sighed: "Xiao Hong, get up, don't let people laugh at you." Master Hong got up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Master Gu, do you want to sit in our house and have a drink? Have a cup of tea and look at the accounts." Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "I have something to do, so I'll come back in a few days. Before I come, you should reflect on yourself." Master Hong apologized and said with a smile: "Don't dare, next time Master Gu sees you here again, just whip me peel off my tendons, peel off my skin, throw it away and feed it to the fish.” After saying that, he sang a promise, and regardless of the hard work of his belly, he bent over and stood aside, not daring to lift his eyelids. Gu Zhen turned around, and suddenly saw the three women smiling at him at the top of the building, and suddenly there was a burst of piano sound, melodious and melodious, drunk and happy, but it was a fold of "Yao Pian".Everyone in the hall was surprised. They all knew that in "Cuiyun Tower", the Suqin was as famous as the man, and his qin art was unmatched in Qinhuai, but he was proud of himself and never tuned the strings lightly. Listen, there was a sudden play today, no wonder everyone was surprised. Gu Zhen heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, smiled slightly, clapped his hands suddenly and sang: "Thinking of the vulgar people, it's just like a wall of dung. Wang Hong's visitor is watching by the fence, Li Baimen's funeral is in the heart of the river, and Liu Linghe is buried on the grave. I will wait for Lang Yin to fly over Dongting Lake, so I must have never strayed into Pingkang Lane with a whip." After he sang the song, he laughed loudly, cupped his hands and said: "Miss Suqin used the qin to remonstrate, and Gu took it with her heart." As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the qin stopped suddenly, and a sigh came faintly. Shen Xiu saw it in her eyes, and her heart was burning with jealousy. The four famous prostitutes in Cuiyun Tower, he threw countless gold and silver, but only saw two or three sides, and hadn't been able to kiss Fangze. Looking at the situation at this time, Gu Zhen had clearly done it. If the guest of the four girls hadn't been in full view, Shen Xiu would have already used "Xing Luo San Shou", three punches and two kicks, beating him to pieces. Gu Zhen laughed, and went out freely. Both men and women along the way bowed their heads and folded their hands, with a respectful expression. Shen Xiu was overwhelmed by this burst of limelight, bitter in her chest, only thinking about how to humiliate Gu Zhen, and let out a bad breath. When I went out, the night was full of moonlight and stars, and a lotus lantern hung high in the night sky far away, which was particularly eye-catching.Gu Zhen was about to speak with a smile, but suddenly his face changed drastically, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it anymore. Shen and Yao were amazed, following his gaze, they saw a girl in silver shirt with a bamboo basket walking on the long street along the embankment, she was so beautiful and indescribable. As soon as Shen Xiu saw this girl, she felt her chest was hot and her heart was itchy. If Yao Qing wasn't by her side, she would definitely go forward to hook her up immediately.But I saw the girl walked three zhang away, stopped quietly, staring at this direction, her expression was both sad and desperate. Shen Xiu turned her head and saw that gaze was falling on Gu Zhen. Her heart sank, her desires were extinguished, and her jealousy suddenly arose. Suddenly Gu Zhen let out a breath and said with a smile, "Miaomiao, what a coincidence, you Are you coming to congratulate me too?" Shi Miaomiao was taken aback when she heard the words, then her face flushed, and she spat: "Nonsense, what are you talking about, what kind of respect?" Gu Zhen asked in surprise, "You don't know how to be respectful, what are you doing here?" Shi Miaomiao was furious, and shouted: "I was going to ask you, what are you doing here?" "It's a long story." Gu Zhen sighed, "I was walking on the street just now, and I suddenly became anxious. You think, I am a gentleman, I can't just mess around in the street, so when I saw this house, I bumped my head into it, out of respect It's been a while, and it's been a while since I came out." Shi Miaomiao listened to his words with a rush of congratulations, and his words were so embarrassing that it was difficult for others to ask detailed questions. After a while, she blushed and asked again: "The streets and alleys here are not clean. You don't walk in other streets, why are you here?" How about going here?" Gu Zhen groaned in his heart, thinking that this girl is usually delicate and honest, but when she encounters such a thing, she is wiser than Zhuge, trying to overwhelm Zhang Liang, but he has always been quick-witted, and said bluntly: "Why is it not clean? I just walk with all my heart , but I don’t know anything..." After finishing speaking, he looked left and right, suddenly gasped, and lost his voice, "Isn't this the place of fireworks? Damn it, why did I come here?" He was good at both singing and singing, but it was difficult for Shi Miaomiao to tell the truth from the fake, and his anger turned weak.Shen Xiu suddenly chuckled, and interjected: "Girl, don't be fooled by brother Shanggu, he is a regular visitor here, not to mention the Cuiyun Tower, it is the Qinhuai River, from the bustard up to the turtle slave, there is nothing wrong with it." I don't recognize him..." Gu Zhen was both startled and angry, seeing Shi Miaomiao's face turned pale, and if there was fire in his beautiful eyes, he immediately cried out in embarrassment.While anxious, Shi Miaomiao suddenly glared at Shen Xiu bitterly, and shouted: "Look at you, you are not a good person. Gu Zhen used to be a good person, but you guys taught him to be bad." A curse, inexplicable.But Gu Zhen secretly called out: "Be good, Miao Miao, good scolding." Shi Miaomiao turned her eyes and saw Yao Qing's gorgeous makeup and clothes again, so she regarded her as a prostitute, and snorted coldly: "And you bitch, you know how to seduce men without shame." Yao Qing's face sank, and she raised her voice: "Who are you scolding?" Shi Miaomiao didn't expect this "slut" to contradict her, and felt even more annoyed, and shouted: "Whatever scolding you, I'm going to kill you." There is a small silver carp in the room. Gu Zhen shouted anxiously: "Be careful..." Before he finished speaking, Shi Miaomiao raised her jade hand, and the sky was dotted with stars, as if it was raining silver. As soon as "Thousand Scales" came out, it covered the sky and covered the ground, and the three people on the opposite side couldn't dodge it in time, and they all lost their colors. Suddenly, a figure came from the side, and with his arms rounded, the silver light in the sky disappeared in an instant. Gu Zhen was startled, fixed his eyes, and recognized Lu Jian from the back, but saw that his hands parted, and the fingers flickered, and suddenly his fingers spread away, and the silver scales jingled and fell to the ground. Except for Gu Zhen, everyone present was surprised, and Shi Miaomiao didn't expect that someone would catch "Qianlin" empty-handed. With a sinking heart, he grabbed three silver carps, bit his lip, and stared at Lu Jian angrily. Lu Jian made Gu Zhen pursue Yao Qing wholeheartedly, so Gu Zhen asked him to come here, and he refused to go with him. He just followed secretly and waited until Shi Miaomiao made a move before he was forced to show up.But his "Heaven-Mending Hand" has not yet been completed, and he is reluctant to take the next silver carp, let alone deal with three silver carps; Gu Zhen knows that Shi Miaomiao has a stubborn temper, and this time because he hates himself, he angered everyone and calmed her down hastily Murderous intentions in my heart, difficult and difficult, I was worrying, suddenly I heard someone laughing above my head: "Miss Shi, don't you come here all right?" Shi Miaomiao looked up, and saw Zuo Feiqing standing on the roof at some time, smiling at herself. Shi Miaomiao's heart sank, and she raised her voice: "Feng Junhou, I will meet you again after I kill these shameless people." Zuo Feiqing shook his head and said: "I don't care if you want to kill people, but you snatched Zuo's prey, but Zuo did not agree." Shi Miaomiao frowned and said: "What prey?" Zuo Feiqing said: "Among the four people , there is one person that I will capture alive after seven days, and whoever touches her within seven days will be my enemy." When Gu Zhen heard that, he was overjoyed, and saw the lotus lantern approaching the shore, and without waiting for Shi Miaomiao's answer, he pulled Lu Jian, and said in a low voice, "Go quickly." Lu Jian didn't know why, so he ran away while Yao Qing and Shen Xiu followed quickly.Shocked and angry, Shi Miaomiao raised her hand, and the three silver carps scattered like cold stars all over the sky, and shot at the four people.Zuo Feiqing flicked his sleeves, the paper butterfly came behind and blocked the silver scales.All of a sudden, these two masters didn't care about it, and fought their magical powers in front of the public.I was so shocked that the passers-by all over the street screamed, and one after another got into the brothel to paint a boat, and couldn't get out of it. Gu Zhen grabbed the lighted boat and jumped in first, followed by Lu Jian and Yao Qing. Shen Xiu was about to step on the springboard when Gu Zhen stepped on the other side, and the springboard bounced up. Shen Xiu I felt the strong wind blowing against my face, and I hurriedly leaned back. Even so, my chin was still scratched by the wooden plank, and it was hot and painful. I couldn't help saying angrily: "What a boy, how dare you plot against Grandpa?" Gu Zhen let go of the gangplank, laughed and said, "Just kidding, Brother Shen, please come in." Seeing his generosity, Shen Xiu felt suspicious, and dared not walk on the gangplank again, relying on lightness, she floated up to the bow.Gu Zhen clapped his hands and praised: "It's so easy." Although Shen Xiu hated it, but she didn't want to lose her demeanor, she smiled coldly, and said indifferently: "It's ridiculous." After finishing speaking, he got into the cabin and saw Lu Jian and Yao Qing sitting side by side. He felt jealous and rushed to sit next to Yao Qing, staring at Lu Jian like a knife. Hearing a sudden laugh, Gu Zhen came in through the curtain carrying the wine and dishes, set up the cups, poured a glass of wine for Shen Xiu first, and said with a smile: "I offended you so much, I would like to respect Brother Shen." Dried a glass. Shen Xiu looked at the sake in the glass, fearing that it might be a fraud, hesitated.Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Shen doesn't know how to drink?" He snatched the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then poured three more glasses, drank with Lu Jian and Yao Qing, and did not pour wine for Shen Xiu again.Shen Xiu was easily pushed aside by him, extremely annoyed, but she hadn't drank the toast earlier, and it was inconvenient to drink again at this time, watching the three of them talking and laughing, felt like a knife was piercing her heart. But Yao Qing said: "Smelly fox, do you think you have got rid of Feng Junhou?" Gu Zhen said with a smile: "It's still early, just watch me play tricks." Yao Qing sneered: "If you jump here Take a bath in the smelly water of the river, I thank you for your kindness." Gu Zhen smiled and said: "If you let the beautiful woman dive into the water to escape, wouldn't it be burning the qin and boiling the cranes, which will spoil the scenery? I will definitely not do such stinky things." Yao Qing stared at him for a long time, but couldn't see the clue, so she could only hum softly. No more words. Zuo Feiqing and Shi Miaomiao fought twice, the outcome was not decided, he had no intention of fighting, seeing the boat going away, he abandoned Shi Miaomiao, cast "Three Thousand Feathers of White Hair", floated on the river, and looked at Lingxu.Shi Miaomiao didn't have such supernatural powers, seeing him leave whenever he wanted, she had no choice but to stumble and get angry. Zuo Feiqing stared at the painting boat, not letting go of the slightest movement, and saw that the painting boat had sailed for more than two miles, suddenly eight painting boats sailed towards them, all of which were hung with the same color of lotus lanterns, surrounding the painting boat Yao Qing was riding in the middle of the river, The lights and shadows intertwined, as bright as day.
