Chapter 116 Orchid
The next day, a notice was posted in Yuhuang City, saying that Juxian Pavilion was a gathering place for gangsters. Last night, many people from the world fought there, and several murders occurred. Now it has been sealed up by the government!
After listening to Rong Hua's story, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, gangsters? There were many gangsters last night. Speaking of which, she can be considered one of the gangsters! The only unlucky one was Dan Helai. However, that guy also committed suicide.
Found it!
Thinking of Dan Helai, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but go through all his words and deeds last night in her mind. She always had a feeling that Dan Helai didn't actually care about the drawing of Master Gongshu Ban, or even that picture.
It was within his expectation that someone would take it away from him...
And Zui Liuyun's final act of dividing the picture into several parts must have disrupted some of his plans!
Cen Xiyan picked up the drawing fragment on the desk and looked at it carefully, but she didn't see the reason. The fragment she got was half a mountain peak and half a lake. Her painting skills were average.
, there is nothing special about it.
However, she was not in a hurry to unravel the secret of the drawing. The reason why she took action to grab the drawing last night was actually because she did not want the complete drawing to fall into the hands of a certain party.
No matter what mechanism blueprint is hidden in this picture, as long as this fragment is in her hands, other parties will never be able to put the whole picture together, and they will never be able to use this drawing to add any power to a certain country or a certain force.
!
She is just innocent and doesn't want machine skills to become a killing tool for someone. She hasn't had enough of her peaceful days yet...
As for Zui Liuyun, for some reason, Cen Xiyan also had a feeling in his heart that he didn't really come here to get the picture...
An idea suddenly came to Cen Xiyan's mind. Could that person be the same as her? He just didn't want the whole picture to be spelled out, right?
Shaking his head, Cen Xiyan couldn't confirm the suspicion in his heart and still didn't want to think about it anymore.
"How long do you plan to stay in Yuhuang City, junior sister?" Ronghua asked Cen Xiyan.
Cen Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "I will leave at the end of the Secret Treasure Conference in two days."
If her estimate was correct, the Cen family would send someone to Qingyuan Town within two months to take her back to Beijing. She had to rush back before then, and on her return trip, she did not plan to go back to Laya Snow Mountain.
It's a shortcut, so we don't have much time to stay in Yuhuang City.
The reason why she decided to leave after the Secret Treasure Conference was because the nobles and caravans from various countries and cities who came to participate in the Secret Treasure Conference were all leaving one after another. Her departure from Yuhuang City was not so conspicuous. Otherwise, in Yu
It seems a bit strange to leave when Huangcheng is the busiest, and it is not a good thing in the eyes of caring people.
Rong Hua thought for a moment and understood Cen Xiyan's thoughts. He nodded and said, "That's fine. Junior sister, will you go with the caravan this time or alone?"
"Cang Qing and I can go together, it will be faster this way." Cen Xiyan thought for a while and then said: "After this secret treasure conference, several shops in the same box as Yaqu may also be noticed.
Come on, it’s not convenient for me to go with them. Also, Second Senior Brother, please tell them to be more cautious and careful during this period."
"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely give them good advice!" Ronghua's expression was serious and his tone was solemn.
"That's right." Ronghua said as if he remembered something, "Early this morning, those young masters came again. This time they didn't ask anything about the young master. They only ordered some food and wine, and chatted a few words with the waiters.
What I was talking about was the business situation in the store, and I left after having a meal.”
Cen Xiyan knew that the people Rong Hua was talking about were Wei San and others. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and sneer. She knew that because of the handwriting on the plaque on the north, south and west sky, Wei San had already determined that she had something to do with this restaurant.
.
However, this guy went to Juxian Pavilion and caused a huge stir last night. Does he still have time to pay attention to her affairs today? At this time, Yang Sili should be secretly investigating those groups of men in black last night!
It seems that Wei San is very concerned about the delta-wing aircraft! Thinking of Wei San's purpose of coming to Yuhuang City, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Did Wei San have some associations with the delta wing?
Woolen cloth……
However, no matter what he thinks, those delta-wing aircraft have been destroyed anyway, so he can just guess and check!
"Don't pay attention to them. Whatever they ask, just deal with it." Cen Xiyan said.
"Yes, I understand."
In the last two days of the Secret Treasure Conference, Cen Xiyan did not plan to join in the fun, but she still changed her clothes and planned to go out for a walk. It was a rare visit to Yuhuang City. It would be a pity not to go out for a walk. She would wait for her in the future.
After returning to Dongxun Capital, she was afraid that it would be even harder to come back again, and she also wanted to hear what was going on outside.
This time she went out without Cang Qing, but asked Yang Rui to go out with her.
Cang Qing doesn't like shopping, and his temper is too boring. Shopping with him is not something he enjoys. On the contrary, Yang Rui has a more cheerful temperament and is very familiar with Yuhuang City. It will be easy to take him out with him.
Quite a few.
Cen Xiyan didn't take a carriage, just the two of them wandering around on foot. The place they visited was also near the Trade Square in the West City, because the Jinbi Tower was nearby. During the Secret Treasure Conference, the busiest place in Yuhuang City was
This is the West Market area.
Jewelry shops, antique shops, silk and satin shops, teahouses, wine shops... Countless shops line the streets, and they are all crowded with guests. Business is very prosperous. Even some small stalls have many customers staying in front of them, and they are haggling.
The shouts and shouts are endless, and the place is indescribably lively and prosperous.
While Cen Xiyan was casually checking and playing with the products, she was paying attention to the conversations among the crowd and filtering out some information she wanted to know.
Sure enough, when some people were chatting, they mentioned the murder that happened in Juxian Pavilion and the talk about the gangster's den. They were all sighing and there were some wild speculations. As for the capture of the escaped "bandit", there was nothing
information.
Also, just for those few people last night, it would not be easy for Yang Sili to catch any of them, especially during the Secret Treasure Conference, when Yuhuang City is the busiest.
The suspicions of many people and the dissatisfaction of many merchants will also affect the trade situation of the Yijiang Kingdom this year. As the prince of the Yijiang Kingdom, he has many issues to consider and take into account.
Walking to the door of a barbarian wine shop, Cen Xiyan was attracted by the beautiful sound of harps coming from inside and stopped involuntarily.
"Sir, do you want to go in and have a look? This wine shop is the most famous one on this street. Their Orchid is as young and beautiful as any..." Yang Rui chuckled and said a little unintentionally.
.
Normally, he would not dare to joke with Cen Xiyan like this. Today, seeing that Cen Xiyan was in a good mood and hanging out, it was rare to relax, so he acted a little more recklessly.
"You kid!" Cen Xiyan tapped Yang Rui's forehead gently with a folding fan, and then walked into the wine shop, "Go and have a look."
"Two gentlemen, please come inside." Seeing the guests coming to the door, the waiter hurried forward to greet him, "Do you want to order some wine and food on the first floor, or do you want to go to the second floor to enjoy the singing and dancing?"
"Of course we have to go to the second floor." Cen Xiyan said.
When the waiter heard this, the smile on his face deepened, and he quickly invited Cen Xiyan and Yang Rui to the second floor.
At this moment, there are two Orchids dancing the Hu Xuan Dance on the second floor. They are wearing tulle dresses, with deep eyebrows and full of charm. Following the rhythm of the drums, they are spinning like the wind. Don’t forget.
He took the time to wink at the guests around him. The guests stared at him intently and cheered.
Cen Xiyan and Yang Rui sat down at a seat by the window, ordered food and drinks, paid for the show, and the guy went off happily.
Cen Xiyan only glanced at the whirling dance of the two orchids, then turned his attention away and paid attention to the other orchid sitting in the corner.
This Orchid is covered with a veil, and her facial features cannot be clearly seen, but her pair of amber eyes, which seem to be able to speak, are extremely moving. I guess her appearance under the veil must also be very beautiful.
Of course, what made Cen Xiyan notice her was not only her beautiful eyes, but also the harp harp she played in her hand. The melodious harp music that Cen Xiyan heard outside just now was played by Hu Ji.
It's played.
The rhythm of Hu Xuanwu's drum music is somewhat dynamic and high-spirited, while the music of the konghou is more melodious and melodious. They are obviously two contradictory types of music, but when played by Hu Ji's hand, the soft music of the konghou can be heard.
, can be cleverly integrated into the dynamic drum music, naturally, not at all abrupt, and has a unique charm in it.
Cen Xiyan couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, this Hu Ji is a master of the konghou, and she has an excellent sense of music. She can also be said to be extremely proficient in the perception and use of the instrument in her hand.
Hu Ji felt Cen Xiyan's gaze and couldn't help but look towards her. Seeing the admiration on Cen Xiyan's face, she couldn't help but be slightly startled, then her eyebrows arched and she smiled sweetly at Cen Xiyan.
Cen Xiyan also raised the corners of his lips, smiled slightly, and nodded to the Hu Ji.
At this moment, there was a sound of "thumping" footsteps at the top of the stairs. Several men came up from downstairs. Judging from their clothes, they should be several warriors from Yanjiang. The man at the head was probably
He is twenty-seven or eighty years old, dressed like a military general, with deep facial features and quite heroic appearance.
Seeing the general, Hu Ji, who was playing the harp, couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the sound of the harp in her hand stopped abruptly.
The general didn't look at the others and strode towards the Hu Ji.
Chapter completed!
