Volume 1: The Taiping Bureau (Part I) Chapter 94, The Spring Festival

The night was dark and silent.

In a large courtyard on the east side of the ancient city, there is an elegant building built on the water's edge that is still lit.

The door of the building is ajar, and the spacious hall is covered with a heavy veil, making it difficult to distinguish the surrounding furnishings, and you can only vaguely see a spring pool in the center of the inner hall, which is emitting a curling white mist and the sound of water.

Behind the pond is a large white jade screen, underneath which is a bed and chair carved out of jade.

Oiran Red Slave was lying lazily on the bed, one hand slightly curled lightly on the forehead, the other hand leaning on the waist, playing with a mirage, listening to an uninvited guest who came late at night to tell an incident.

Being able to come uninvited, knock on the courtyard door of Huayue Building at night, and walk in and stand in front of this small building, it shows that the identity of the person who came is not ordinary.

But the man kept standing outside the door, keeping his head down, never glancing into the room.

If he raised his head, he would see that the red slave was gone tonight, wearing only a thin shirt, her graceful body looming in the candlelight, and even the moisture in her hair had not yet dried up, which was a beautiful moment that the men of the ancient city could not even dream of.

But even if he was full of lust, he had already vaguely guessed through the fragrance in the house that the red slave had just come out of the bath, and he didn't dare to have the slightest evil thoughts in his mind.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to leave the courtyard tonight.

This person is none other than Fan Yan, the head of the Wuji Palace who was deflated at the night yesterday.

After talking about participating in the gambling fight between Zhao Chengqian and Ye Yan, Fan Yan paused again and hugged his fists: "I know that the seventh girl went to the tower prison to see Ye Yan and was very concerned about his situation, but I didn't expect him to be so important in your heart, and made such a request, Fan really didn't know how to deal with it, so he came to ask for guilt tonight."

The red slave chuckled, but her tone was very cold: "Master Fan is very good at talking, obviously suspecting that I am tampering with your life behind my back, but he says as if you have been doing things for me"

Fan Yan shook his head: "Don't dare"

Red Nu'er was slightly silent: "If I say it's not me, won't you think it's more tricky?" ”

Fan Yanjian's eyebrows frowned, and he couldn't help but want to look up to see the expression on Hong Nu'er's face, but he forcibly suppressed his impulse and nodded sincerely.

The red slave sighed lightly, and said coldly: "Is your brain in the water, the trouble you caused yourself, and you still want to sell this to me, so that I can carry the black pot for you?" ”

Fan Yan's expression was solemn, before he entered the door, he thought that the red slave was the most likely person to secretly calculate him, and the only one who had the ability to tamper with his fate, because the Book of Heaven was in his hands, but after hearing such a contemptuous answer, he realized that things were more complicated than he thought.

He hurriedly shook his head: "Naturally not, Huayue Lou specializes in cleaning up spies, and the fairy is now the person in charge, this matter is very important, and you should know about it."

Hong Nu'er snorted coldly: "If you turn fast enough, and you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, why don't you go directly to Lu Ding and ask him to send someone to take strict care of Ye Yu and throw him into the dungeon."

Fan Yan gritted his teeth secretly, and saw that the red slave, who knew everything well, clearly refused to help, so he had to retreat and bow deeply.

"The fairy has a clear mind, when you know what Fan is asking for, I have no strengths, I can only kill, I am willing to kill three people with a knife in your hand, in return for this favor"

"Why, so quickly it's not selfless?"

Fan Yan smiled helplessly.

The red slave suddenly waved his hand lightly and threw out three red lights: "One person is enough!" ”

Fan Yan took the three pills, but he was slightly stunned, his face became solemn, thinking that the red slave already had a goal in his heart, and he must be an extremely difficult person to deal with, and said: "Let me finish avenging my family revenge, and I will do what I say!" ”

The red slave smiled lightly: "Yes!" ”

Fan Yan took the medicine and left the small building, but this walk tied him and the red slave tightly together.

The smuggler of the secret medicine Ringing Pill is no joke, and the fact that Hong Nu'er did not handle this matter impartially, indicating that there may be intrigue between the upper floors of the Taiping Tower, and now that he has given someone a handle, it is difficult to get out.

But now, whether it's right or wrong, he has to settle the matter in front of him before he can think about anything else.

Thinking of this, the hatred in his heart for Ye Yu deepened a little.

After Fan Yan left, the red slave lay on the jade bed and pondered for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on her pretty face and muttered to herself.

"Little ghost, let's see if you can get a few true biography of my sister"

……

The top floor of the dimly lit A-shaped tower.

Fan Yanku, who had returned to his residence from Huayue Tower, sat in his cell, his cold face looking terrifying under the candlelight.

His mood was extremely gloomy at the moment, as if he was back in a dark dungeon, not knowing when bad luck would befall him.

There were three pomegranate-like pills on the stone table in front of him, but he didn't want to touch this damn thing if there was any other way, but now he was so deep in the mud that he couldn't get out of it with his whole body.

As he pondered who was behind all this, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Fan Yan put away the pills on the table, got up and opened the door, but saw an unexpected person.

In such a quiet and deep night, her arrival was like a spiritual light, and great shock instantly appeared on his face.

"Are you doing the?"

There was no verbal temptation, or pretense of composure, and the face of this man, who usually looked extremely cold and arrogant in front of people, suddenly turned into anger.

"Why, you still haven't figured out whose bowl you moved the meat?"

Phantom Bamboo, dressed in black, stood outside the door, staring at Fan Yan with cold eyes, watching him suddenly lift up, and the hand that was about to choke her throat paused in the air, smiling contemptuously.

Fan Yan froze, and after a moment of silence, he slowly withdrew his hand: "It's not you, you can't do it like this, why are you here?" ”

Phantom Zhu said coldly: "Since you have been to Huayue Tower, you should know how deep the water is behind this matter, I will negotiate a deal with you."

Fan Yan frowned and slowly moved away.

The girl in black entered the room, looked around, and saw that the room was full of jade furniture, more than a dozen swords hung on one wall, a portrait of a Taoist priest on the other, and an incense case was placed below, and three incense sticks were burning in the incense burner.

"What kind of business?"

When Fan Yan saw Phantom Bamboo tonight, there was no lust in his eyes, only indifference.

"You should know that as long as you don't leave the tower prison for a day, and you can't be a guest of the Taiping Tower for a day, you will always be someone else's pawn, no matter how high you climb, they will not see you as their own person, as long as there are enough interests, maybe this kind of thing will happen in the future."

Phantom Bamboo's opening remarks were very special, which made Fan Yan fall into confusion for a while.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the girl in black continued: "I know you want to make a deal with Yeyu, but he can't trust you, and you can't trust him, and I can help you solve this problem and help you exchange for those three martial arts beads, as long as you give me the three Zhenling Pills."

Fan Yan's forehead jumped with bruises, and suddenly thought of some abnormalities in Phantom Bamboo's behavior in recent days, and sneered: "You want the fisherman to profit, but why should I let you take advantage of this?" ”

Huanzhu also chuckled, and looked at him without showing weakness: "Because Ye Yu has never seen the real Zhenling Pill, he will never believe you easily, and he must try to verify the authenticity, and if you want to escape from the city, the safest way is to go to the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city and directly try the authenticity of the pill, but you can't go there, because no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will be found later, if you go with him and don't report it, you will be an accomplice, but I am different, I also want to leave here"

"Keep talking"

"It's a dead knot, you have a reason to stay here"

Phantom Bamboo said, deliberately tilting his head towards the portrait hanging on the wall: "I just need you to give me a Zhenling Pill first, and replace the other two with fake ones, and I can help you exchange those three gold beads"

Fan Yan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Ye Yan is not as stupid as you say"

"Of course, but I have my own way to make him believe in me, and without me, he can't enter the City God Temple, after I get it, you get back the gold beads, and give me the remaining two pills, we are all three, maybe you can have an unexpected gain"

"But what do you get by helping him like this?"

"Three Hanging Money"

Fan Yan's eyes widened in an instant, and the hanging money could be said to be a sword hanging over the heads of all the tower prisoners, but he couldn't understand what this money had to do with Yeyu.

Could it be that Yelu and Juyizhuang's big boss Cui Santong are still involved?

Huanzhu said quietly: "Today, I saw him go to Juyizhuang and led out a little girl from it, the relationship between the child and Cui Santong is very unusual, but it is called the master of the night, your person should have told you about this"

Fan Yan was shocked like never before, and his fists were creaking, in fact, after that happened, he didn't dare to send anyone to follow Ye Yan again.

"Now you should know who you messed with"

Seeing his reaction like this, Phantom Bamboo was relieved.

Fan Yan slowly moved his steps, came to the table, and sat down on the chair, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

However, just when Phantom Zhu thought that he would be forced to agree to this deal, he saw Fan Yan slowly shake his head again.

"What you're saying is the best scenario, but I still can't believe you."

Phantom Bamboo's delicate body trembled slightly, and she gritted her teeth secretly.

"I don't need you to trust me, we can make another deal"

"And the deal?"

Fan Yan was really confused, he found that tonight's Phantom Bamboo was completely different from the past, he was strategizing, he was like a god, and every reason given made it difficult for him to refuse, but he was unwilling, unwilling to be forced to make such a deal with Phantom Bamboo after being coerced by the night and humiliated by the red slave.

But the next moment, he found that he had been looked at by the woman in front of him, and he didn't even have room to refuse.

Phantom Bamboo gently untied the ribbon around his waist and slowly faded off his black clothes, revealing a piece of snow-white skin.

"Accept my terms, and I will grant you your wishes"
