Chapter 259: Woman’s Scheming
The next day.
In the evening, Jinsexie was much more lively than usual.
The lobby was full of guests, all of them celebrities and dignitaries.
It can be said that most of the respectable people in Qingzhou are here.
The reason is naturally for Liu Wuxu, the number one courtesan in Qingzhou.
Ever since Liu Wuxu came to Qingzhou five years ago, she has become a goddess in the hearts of everyone. During this period, many guests even fought and formed grudges in order to win the favor of the beauty.
Although there were constant scandals about Liu Wuxu during this period, as a pure widower, she had never done anything to tarnish her reputation as a good lady, and her pure reputation still existed.
Because of this, everyone regards her as Bai Yueguang.
Just when everyone was accustomed to her loneliness, rumors suddenly spread that Liu Wuxu was going to sell herself. Moreover, a guest must be selected personally.
As soon as this statement came out, public opinion was abuzz, leaving many admirers stunned and speculating on the reason.
But whether you are regretful, angry, or excited, Qingzhou's number one oiran is going to sell herself. After all, it is something that people look forward to, which means that they can have in-depth communication with the goddess.
And everyone also hopes that the goddess will choose them.
During this period, many people also tried their best to win the favor of beauties, competing overtly and covertly.
When Jiang Shouzhong arrived at Jinsexie, everyone in the lobby was chatting and laughing.
Although they had friendly conversations with each other, and occasionally presented some poems, songs, or treasures for each other to appreciate and praise each other, everyone was well aware of the invisible comparison.
In the building, the piano and harp are singing harmoniously, the sound of silk and bamboo is melodious, and the clothes are fragrant and the shadows on the temples are beautiful.
The dancers spin lightly, with colorful sleeves flying.
The maid next to Liu Wuxu had been waiting for Jiang Shouzhong for a long time. When she saw him appear, she quickly went up to him and whispered, "Master Jiang, please come with me."
"Where's Miss Liu? ?" Jiang Shouzhong asked.
The maid said: "Miss is dressing up in the room and will be out in a moment."
The two came to a private room on the second floor.
Compared with the noisy hall, this place is much more elegant.
Jiang Shouzhong saw that the richest man in Qingzhou, Zhang Fuwang, was also there. His fat body was sitting on a spacious chair specially made for him, piled up like a hill, accompanied by two beauties.
After seeing Jiang Shouzhong, Zhang Fuwang raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, we meet again."
Jiang Shouzhong nodded and smiled.
In addition to Zhang Fuwang, there were also some other wealthy businessmen and officials in Qingzhou, and one person caught Jiang Shouzhong's attention.
The other party has a square appearance, bright eyes, and a burly figure. He is wearing a blue shirt made of ordinary material, and he has a murderous aura with obvious military characteristics.
Not surprisingly, this person should be Zhao Hezi, the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou Shanziying.
Arriving at the specially arranged private room, Jiang Shouzhong unexpectedly saw Princess Yingmo and a handsome young man.
And that handsome young man was obviously the eldest princess pretending to be one.
To be honest, as a princess and a princess, coming to a place like this will always attract gossip. I guess I saw Liu Wuxu giving the sachet, so I couldn't help but come and see Liu Wuxu. Will Xu choose Jiang Yi?
Jiang Shouzhong hesitated for a moment and walked over.
"I have seen..."
"Sit down, no need to salute, just call me Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Wanyue said softly, not wanting others to know her identity.
Jiang Shouzhong nodded and sat aside.
Princess Yingmo winked at Jiang Shouzhong and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, for holding a beautiful woman tonight."
Jiang Shouzhong said with a smile: "I just don't know which beauty to hold. Go home."
Princess Yingmo was stunned, glanced at Zhou Wanyue, smiled and teased: "Okay, Mr. Jiang, I thought you were a pimple, but you have the ability to seduce women. ”
Jiang Shouzhong looked confused: "Who did I hook up with?"
Princess Yingmo smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Wanyue said softly: "Master Jiang, do you hope to be selected?"
Jiang Shouzhong thought for a while and said, "I really don't want to be selected, and I don't think I will be selected."
Zhou Wanyue pursed her pink lips and curved her lips: "Why weren't you selected? Didn't Miss Liu give you a sachet? As far as I know, she has never given anything to anyone else. ”
"A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea."
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head and sighed, "Who can guess what she is thinking."
At this time, Jiang Shouzhong discovered that Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu were in the lobby on the first floor. They are there too.
Although he was just joining in the fun, Lu Renjia kept his eyes on Qing Niang, who was entertaining guests in the distance. Occasionally, Qing Niang would pass by, and this guy would rush over to show his courtesy.
In the end, Qing Niang deliberately walked around him.
Jiang Shouzhong withdrew his gaze, glanced at Zhao Hezi who was sitting in the booth not far away, and asked casually: "That should be Mr. Zhao from Qingzhou."
Zhou Wanyue followed his gaze and clicked He nodded: "It's him."
Princess Yingmo said: "General Zhao is an upright person. He once beat up his boss because of his bad style. This man is a good soldier, and he also served in Fengcheng Participated in the Yan-Rong war..."
"Has he been to Fengcheng?" Jiang Shouzhong's eyes moved.
Princess Yingmo picked up the tea cup, blew the tea leaves floating on the tea soup, nodded and said:
"Originally, he should have a better future. Due to the Qingzhou riots twelve years ago and the previous defeat in the war with the Nanjin Kingdom, he was innocently implicated. He and many generals were demoted and sent to Fengcheng Humen Pass. He made up for his fault. Six years ago, he was transferred back to Qingzhou and served as the commander-in-chief of Shanziying."
Twelve years ago...
Jiang Shouzhong looked at Zhao Hezi who was talking to his friends next to him, and fell into a trap. thinking.
Liu Wuxu was rescued by a mysterious man twelve years ago and brought to Fengcheng.
Now it seems that this mysterious man is most likely Zhao Hezi.
Zhao Hezi was transferred back to Qingzhou six years ago, and Liu Wuxu returned to Qingzhou five years ago... Has the layout started since then?
Perhaps aware of Jiang Shouzhong's gaze, Zhao Hezi turned to look.
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and nodded as a sign of goodwill.
Zhao Hezi frowned, glanced at the eldest princess and Princess Yingmo, then turned his head and continued talking to his friends.
After a while, the dancing skills began to fade away.
When the people who were chatting and laughing saw this, they suddenly became energetic and understood that the highlight of the night was about to begin. They all sat upright and stared at a red sandalwood door on the high platform without blinking.
Outside the red sandalwood door, the gauze curtains sway gently with the breeze, revealing a warm and hazy halo.
The next moment, Liu Wuxu, dressed in a purple skirt, appeared on the high platform, attracting everyone's attention.
The beautiful Liu Wuxu walked to the high platform with her pipa in her arms. There was a hint of sadness between her brows and eyes. Her skin was snow-white, but it was even more fragile due to the lack of blood.
The long black hair was simply pulled into a loose bun, with a few strands of broken hair hanging gently, adding a bit of softness.
"So beautiful."
Zhou Wanyue sighed and glanced at Jiang Shouzhong.
Compared with the obsession of others, Jiang Shouzhong's eyes were particularly clear, even with a hint of indifference.
Zhou Wanyue nodded secretly.
If the future mountain master named Jiang Yi is really in love with a prostitute, then this person is not worthy of his pursuit, and Wanshou Shanchuan will not be able to hand over the position of mountain master to him.
Jiang Shouzhong secretly paid attention to Zhao Hezi's expression.
After Liu Wuxu came out, Zhao Hezi's expression seemed a bit complicated and gloomy.
He looked up to the sky and drank a cup of tea, looking very unhappy.
Is it because the woman you like is betraying you?
Jiang Shouzhong looked at Zhang Fuwang, a wealthy businessman who played with women all day long. Although his eyes were on the stage, compared to the others, his eyes were very indifferent.
"Dear distinguished guests and gentlemen, it has been five years since my family Wu Xu came to Jinsexie. Thanks to your support and love, my family Wu Xu is what it is today..."
Jinsexie's old madam Ba La Ba La said. After picking up a lot of names, he took out a list and said with a smile, "Jinsexie has registered all the names of the guests who came today, and my family Wu Xu has also seen them. There are also people who like it..."
Speaking of this, the madam paused deliberately.
Those who heard that Liu Wuxu had found their way were so nervous that they didn’t dare to take a breath, with thousands of Buddhas in their hearts blessing them to be chosen.
Who doesn’t want the first night of being an oiran.
Liu Wuxu's charming eyes gently glanced at the crowd, and the air suddenly became quieter.
Everyone felt that the goddess was looking at them. They straightened their chests and backs, their cheeks flushed, and their hearts were excited, as if they would be selected to be the guest of honor in the next moment.
Liu Wuxu looked towards the second floor again, and paused for a few seconds on Zhao Hezi, his expression gloomy.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Zhao Hezi.
Seeing that it was the Commander-in-Chief, everyone began to gossip.
Could it be that this time it was General Zhao.
Zhao Hezi's face was still gloomy, and the hand holding the tea cup was slightly clenched.
When Liu Wuxu made eye contact with Jiang Shouzhong, he did not stay too long, but his eyes were filled with guilt, pain, and helplessness.
At this time, the old bustard opened a piece of origami, showed the name written by Liu Wuxu himself to everyone, and said loudly: "The beloved man Wu Xu has chosen tonight is Lu Renjia, Master Lu. !”
Quiet!
Deathly silence!
Everyone looked stunned, and they were all confused.
Who is Lu Renjia?
Which corner does this come from?
Lu Renjia, who was thinking about what gift to buy Qing Niang, was also confused.
He turned to look at the people around him, wondering if someone with his name had hit the car?
It was not until two maids brought him to the high platform that he realized what he was doing and immediately shouted: "It's a mistake, it's a mistake! It's not me! You've made a mistake!"
After the Madam announced her name, Liu Wuxu left.
"Mr. Lu, that's right, it's you."
The old bustard said with a smile, "My family has Wu Xu kissing me, specifically stating that it is Lu Renjia, Lu Renjia, with six doors. You, just Have fun. But we can't have a wedding tonight, it will be three days later. Then we will carry you in a sedan chair." Lu Renjia looked at Qing Niang anxiously.
But found that Qing Niang was missing.
"It's really not me. You made a mistake. Miss Liu, please come out and say something. Did you write it wrong..."
Lu Renjia, who was surrounded by maids and entered the backyard, was anxious. Shouting, "Old Zhang, Old Rong, help! Help me quickly!"
My colleagues Zhang Yunwu and Rong Yuhe opened their mouths wide, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
In the lobby, everyone was shouting non-stop.
"There is an inside story! Miss Liu will never choose such an ugly guy!"
"Yes, you must have coerced Miss Liu. I just saw Miss Liu crying. It must have been you who coerced her. ! ”
“That guy Lu is like a fool, how could Miss Liu choose him?”
“…”
Everyone was talking and I was yelling angrily.
On the second floor, the commander-in-chief Zhao Hezi stood up and left with a sullen face.
Princess Yingmo looked at Jiang Shouzhong with a half-smile but not a smile: "That Mr. Lu is really lucky, Mr. Jiang is envious."
Jiang Shouzhong covered up the gloom in his eyes and smiled. He said:
"I should sympathize. He has offended almost all the big shots in Qingzhou, and the days ahead will definitely be difficult."
"The heart of a woman is the most poisonous."
Princess Yingmo sighed quietly.
......
A grand event that everyone had been looking forward to ended with such a farce, breaking the hearts of many Liu Wuxu.
Although some people are still making noise, most people have accepted the fact that flowers are placed on cow dung and left sadly.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Wanyue and his two daughters, Jiang Shouzhong was about to leave, but Liu Wuxu's personal maid suddenly found him and said Liu Wuxu was waiting for him in the room.
Jiang Shouzhong came to the boudoir, and Liu Wuxu was sitting in front of the window, looking lonely at the lake in the distance.
Jiang Shouzhong sat at the table, picked up a teacup and played with it.
Liu Wuxu turned to look at him and said sadly: "Master Jiang, why don't you scold Wuxu or question Wuxu?"
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said: "Why should I scold and question you? ? Everyone has their own choice. The world does not revolve around anyone. I respect your choice. ”
"But what if this is not Wu Xu's choice? Originally, Wu Xu decided to choose you."
Liu Wu Xu looked at him.
The woman's weak eyes seemed to be filled with pain.
Jiang Shouzhong remained silent.
Liu Wuxu smiled bitterly and said: "Wuxu knows that you hate me now and are angry with Wuxu, but Wuxu was forced to do this because he was helpless. What can I do as an oiran? It's just a puppet, life or death is not up to me
Mr. Jiang, Wu Xu knows that in your heart you look down on women like me, but Wu Xu has been in Jinsexie for so many years and has never done anything dirty. He only hopes that one day he can find a good wife with a clean body. Mr. Lang..."
The woman showed a sad expression, "Of course Wu Xu also knows that she is not worthy of Young Master Jiang. After all, Mr. Jiang may become the owner of Wanshou Mountain in the future.
I just hope that in the future Mr. Jiang can remember that there was a woman in Jinsexie who also...also..."
"Who is forcing you? "Jiang Shouzhong looked at her.
Liu Wuxu looked at the dim night sky outside the window, hesitated to speak, and finally said helplessly for a long time: "You can't afford to offend this person, even if you are a candidate for the future mountain master of Wanshou Mountain. people. ”
"If that's the case, then don't mess with it."
Jiang Shouzhong immediately gave up.
?
Liu Wuxu was stunned, his face twitched a few times, and he didn't know how to continue what he had originally planned.
Finally, he pretended not to have heard anything and said faintly: "Speaking of which, this person has the same surname as you, but he has a very powerful master, who is the Sword Demon."
Jiang Shouzhong was startled: "Is it possible that many people in the world have been discussing recently, what is Jiang Mo called?"
Liu Wuxu nodded lightly, clenched his pink fist tightly, and said sadly: "Just because Wuxu had no intention before. He was a witness to the government and confirmed Jiang Menan's identity as a spy from the Jin Kingdom, so he threatened me that he must choose one of his brothers to sleep with me. "
Jiang Shouzhong looked pale. expression.
I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect that I, Jiang Mo, would be so bad. It’s simply unforgivable.
Liu Wuxu's eyes were filled with tears: "I thought about finding someone to save me, but he is the apprentice of the sword demon. I heard that even the owner of Wanshou Mountain has to be polite when meeting the sword demon. I don't Now that I know what to do, I can only listen to him.”
"This person is bullying others too much!"
Jiang Shouzhong slammed the table angrily, stood up and said coldly, "Miss Liu, where is Jiang Mo now? I will kill him right now to eliminate harm for the people!"
Liu Wuxu said: "Mr. Jiang, it's not that Wuxu doesn't believe in your cultivation, it's just that that person is a disciple of the Sword Demon after all, and maybe the Sword Demon is also with him. If he is really that easy to deal with, Now the government won't be able to find him forever."
"It would be really difficult if the sword demon is here. I can't ask my master, she will definitely not care."
< br>Jiang Shouzhong frowned.
Liu Wuxu bit her lip lightly and suddenly said: "There is someone who may be able to help us deal with Jiang Mo, but..."
Here he comes!
Finally we get to the point!
Jiang Shou was in the center, pretending to be anxious and asked: "Miss Liu, who can help us?"
Liu Wuxu seemed to have something to say, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, this is too much It’s hard for Young Master Jiang.”
You are pretending to be your best, I really want to slap you in the face.
Jiang Shouzhong secretly scolded the other party for being hypocritical, patted his chest and said loudly: "Miss Liu, as long as I can help you escape from the sea of suffering, I am willing to face any difficulties, just say it!"
Liu Wu Xu was moved.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "This person is from Nanjin. I will take you to find that person tomorrow."
That is Wanyan Wuhai.
Jiang Shou was stunned.
He thought the other party would take him directly to Zhao Hezi, but he didn't expect it to be the little prince.
But that’s fine, go directly to the inner circle.
——
Coming out of Jinse Pavilion, Jiang Shouzhong returned to the small courtyard.
After saying hello to Dugu Luoxue, he took off his disguise mask, put on his night clothes, and went straight to the inn where Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu were staying.
Although Lu Renjia and the others are from Liumen, they did not stay at the Liumen official residence after coming to Qingzhou this time, but stayed in an ordinary inn called "Ke Lai".
Liu Wuxu's "choosing a husband" this time was indeed unexpected.
He expected that it would not be him, but he did not expect that the chosen one would be Lu Renjia.
Jiang Shouzhong believed that the person Liu Wuxu originally wanted to choose was definitely not Lu Renjia, but he only made a temporary change.
Why the change?
Simple, because of him.
After it was revealed that Jiang Mo was the apprentice of the sword demon Yan Changqing, these people finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Since the internal guards and the government failed to trace the case, and the date of the planned riot was gradually approaching, they could only use the people around Jiang Mo to force him out and kill him as soon as possible.
Lu Renjia is the best target.
At present, Lu Renjia has become the focus and has become a thorn in the side of many people.
Qingzhou will soon become a hot topic.
There is no need for the people behind Liu Wuxu to take action. The other Liu Wuxu lickers will take the initiative to cause trouble for Lu Renjia. In this case, Jiang Mo must come out.
Unless he doesn’t care about his friends and brothers.
Of course, this is just one of Liu Wuxu’s plans.
After what the other party said just now, Jiang Shouzhong believed that besides him, Liu Wuxu had also brainwashed other men.
Everyone wants to kill Jiang Mo, but they don’t dare, so they can only find cooperation.
When you really cooperate with Wanyan Wuhai, you will be like a grasshopper tied to a rope when there is a riot.
Before he even approached the inn, Jiang Shouzhong saw a burst of fire shining in the distance.
Jiang Shouzhong's expression changed and he ran away.
Sure enough, the inn where Lu Renjia was staying was on fire!
At this time, everyone was rushing to put out the fire, and there were constant noises and shouts. Fortunately, Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu were standing outside safely and were not seriously injured.
They were quarreling with a few young men who looked dandy.
Obviously the arson case was related to these people.
Lu Renjia suddenly thought of something and rushed into the sea of fire again.
This confused everyone, even Zhang Yunwu didn't react and hurriedly chased after him.
Fortunately, Lu Renjia appeared soon, his whole face was burnt black, and he was holding a small wooden box in his arms.
Jiang Shouzhong had seen this wooden box many times. It was Master Jia's treasure, but it only contained twenty copper coins, and he didn't know what it was for. But Mr. A is always nervous every time.
“Damn it, I almost burned grandpa’s treasure, you beasts, you must accompany me to lose tonight!”
Lu Renjia glared at the arsonist in front of him.
Those people were very arrogant and domineering. They pointed at Lu Renjia and said, "I'll give you two hours to get out of Qingzhou. You are not allowed to see Miss Liu again, or I will break your legs!"
