Chapter 11 of "The Great Hero's Soul" Why the Beauty Falls into Prostitution (Martial Arts Science Fiction Adult Novel)

Chapter 11 Why the Beauty Fell into Prostitution

On the second day, Hua Yunlong settled the accounts, took the route through Nanyang, and rode his horse along the Jinghu South Road. The conversation along the way was long if there was any, and short if there was none. At dusk one day, we arrived in Jingmen, and suddenly we heard the sound of horse hooves behind us. Turning around, we saw a cloud of dust rising behind us. Eight or nine strong long-distance horses, carrying several people of varying ages, dressed in tight clothes, were rushing towards us. In a blink of an eye, they were behind us.

He kept his mother's instructions in mind and did not want to cause any more trouble, so he pulled the reins and moved to the side. But when the horses passed by, he was shocked to see the color of the clothes worn by the people on the horses, and thought to himself: How strange! These people are wearing purple tights and each carries a long sword. The leader is not very old, also wearing a cassock costume and a short cloak on his shoulders. Could it be Qiu Hua and his party?

Due to the dust blocking his vision, he could not see the faces of the people clearly, but Qiu Hua claimed that he was the mastermind behind the murder of Sima Changqing and was also the first disciple of the leader of the "Xuanming Sect". How could he let go of this clue? He immediately slightly raised the reins and hurriedly followed them, following them from a distance, and entered the west city of Jingmen. Those few men entered the West City and continued to ride their horses, causing pedestrians on the street to panic and run for cover.

Hua Yunlong felt very disgusted and cursed secretly: "Humph, what a thing? Just look at your arrogant and domineering appearance. Even if you are not subordinates of the "Xuanming Sect", I will punish you. Otherwise, how can the common people have peace?" ”

Amidst the cursing, they arrived at a rather grand inn. The man in the short cloak loosened the reins of his horse, poked his head inside the door, and immediately jumped off his horse, shouting, "Here it is." He left his horse behind and strode in. When the others saw this, they dismounted and walked in, leading their horses.

Hua Yunlong rushed to the door and saw a luxurious carriage parked inside. The carriage was magnificent and small, obviously a vehicle for women only. Several shop assistants were taking care of the horses there. The person who had just entered the store had long disappeared. A waiter came out, bowed and said, "Sir, would you like to stay at our hotel? Our hotel is so elegant and refined, there is no other hotel like it in Jingmen City."

Hua Yunlong thought secretly: Those people just now must have had bad intentions and wanted to attack the owner of this carriage. It would be fine if I didn't meet them, but now that I have met them, how can I allow them to do evil? He nodded, dismounted from his horse, and said in a stern voice, "Take good care of my horse, and I will pay you double tomorrow."

There were many people serving him on weekdays, which made him develop a noble demeanor. The waiter knew that the God of Wealth was coming, so he quickly passed the reins to another waiter, followed closely with his buttocks, let Hua Yunlong into the hall, and flattered him: "Hey, young master, do you like bustle or quiet? If you like quiet, we have a house in the backyard; if you like bustle, we have a room in the middle yard. We have everything you need for tea and banquets, young master..."

Hua Yunlong was impatient and waved his hand, saying coldly: "Where do those people in fast clothes live?"

The waiter was slightly startled and said, "They are in the middle courtyard and haven't settled down yet, young master..."

Hua Yunlong asked, "Where is the owner of the carriage at the door?"

The waiter suddenly realized, "Oh, so the young master is in the same group as that young lady. She lives in the middle courtyard. I will take you there right away..."

Hua Yunlong said, "Then let's go to the middle courtyard. I live next door to that young lady."

The waiter was stunned again and thought, "Why does another person want to live next door?" Then he heard a voice like a silver bell asking crisply, "Who is it? Who wants to live next door to me?" It turned out that the front hall of this guest house was a place where food and drinks were served, with private rooms with deep curtains on both sides. Hua Yunlong happened to pass by the door of a private room, and the voice like a silver bell came from inside that private room.

Hua Yunlong was a natural romantic. His voice, like a silver bell, was so magnetic that it made people's bones go soft. They stopped involuntarily and responded happily, "It's me... I..." He wanted to introduce himself, but suddenly he became alert and stammered, unable to continue.

The waiter covered his mouth and snickered. Inside the private room, there was a "puff" sound, and he said, "Who am I... Yun'er, go and see who I am?" The curtain was lifted, and a pretty girl about fourteen or fifteen years old came out. She glanced at Hua Yunlong and said crisply, "Miss, it's a young man."

A voice like a silver bell chimed and said with a smile, "Young master? Then there's no need to get another room. We can just use the bright room outside. Yun'er, please invite him in to have a chat."

Hua Yunlong was greatly surprised, frowned, and wondered: Whose lady is this? Why so unruly? Before he could finish his doubts, the girl named Yun'er smiled solemnly and said, "Please come in, sir. Our young lady invites you."

Hua Yunlong was very curious, and he ignored the waiter's dumbfounded expression and walked towards the private room, straightening his clothes and saying, "How dare I wait for you to come in when the young lady invites me? Miss Yun'er, please come in."

After entering the private room, Hua Yunlong's eyes suddenly brightened. For a moment, he was stunned with his mouth open and eyes wide. Sitting in the elegant seat was a stunning beauty with eyebrows and eyes as dark as black, and as beautiful as a flower. Her whole body was full of charm and seductiveness. It's true that if you gain a pound you'd be fat, and if you lose a pound you'd be thin. At this moment, her pearly teeth were slightly exposed, her beautiful eyes were full of spring, and she was staring at Hua Yunlong without blinking. Hua Yunlong didn't even touch the wine to his lips, but he looked obsessed and was drunk without even drinking.

The beautiful woman looked at him for a while, then chuckled, opened her cherry lips, and said in a crisp voice, "Please sit down."

Hua Yunlong was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Please sit down, please sit down." He dragged a chair and sat down.

The beautiful woman's eyes were full of longing, and she covered her mouth and said, "I am honored that the young master has favored me. I am here to greet you." She gathered her sleeves and bowed slightly.

Hua Yunlong stood up immediately, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Young lady is as beautiful as a fairy. It is my honor to have the opportunity to drink with you and discuss matters with you."

The beautiful woman stopped being polite and looked at Yun'er and said, "Yun'er, why are you in a daze? Why don't you pour wine for the young master?"

Yun'er suddenly became alert, but she kept laughing and said, "This young man is so handsome that Yun'er can't help but stare at him." She picked up the wine pot, filled it in front of the two of them, and then secretly glanced at Hua Yunlong's face.

The beauty turned a blind eye to Na Yun'er's outrageous words and actions, picked up the wine glass, glanced at Hua Yunlong, and said, "My surname is Jia, and my given name is Yan. I'd like to offer you a glass first." She raised the glass to her lips, raised her head slightly, and drank it all in one gulp.

Hua Yunlong hurriedly picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, saying: "My surname is... Bai, Bai as in black and white, and my given name is Qi." Although he was dazzled by the color of his eyes, he still gave a fake name, which showed that he was still vigilant.

Jia Yan thought that he had stuttered because he had just met a beautiful woman for the first time, but he didn't care at the moment. He smiled and said, "From your accent, it seems that you are not a local, but are you a knight-errant here?"

When Hua Yunlong heard the word "knight-errant", his heart was shocked, and his confused mind became a little clearer. He replied casually: "I am from northern Shanxi. This time I passed by Jinghu area, and I wanted to visit the scenic spots in the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, I met you, young lady. It was a chance encounter and we are destined to be together." Although he responded casually, his romantic nature was unconsciously revealed.

When Jia Yan heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, but it disappeared in an instant. She then smiled charmingly and said, "I am staying in Jinling. This time I am returning from the Emei Mountain. My lord is interested in traveling south, so we can go together. If you don't mind my appearance, I am willing to be your guide."

At this time, Hua Yunlong calmed down a little, but his vigilance increased greatly, and he wondered: Whose lady is this? Or whose female relative is this? Why are there no men accompanying you on the Emei Mountain Pilgrimage? She lives in Jinling, so where is her ancestral home? Unexpectedly, just as he had doubts, Yun'er had already filled his glass with wine again and said with a crisp laugh, "Want a drink? Sir, since we have met, it is fate. If we travel together, our fate will become even deeper. If you are so reserved, won't it seem strange? There are many days ahead."

Hua Yunlong was disturbed by her. Although he was still suspicious and felt that the behavior of the master and servant was too bizarre, he didn't want to think about it anymore. He picked up the wine glass and laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right. If I continue to be restrained, wouldn't it be awkward? Miss Jia, I'll toast you a glass." He tilted his head back and drank the glass.

He opened his heart and his romantic nature was immediately revealed. He drank the wine till the last drop, chatted and laughed, and exchanged glances with Miss Gui Yan. The two of them flirted and teased each other endlessly. In the end, one of them called her "Brother Qi" and the other "Sister Yan", as if they had met each other too late, and they even forgot the time. After three rounds of drinking, Miss Jia Yan was drunk and stood up lazily, saying, "Brother Qi, I have to travel tomorrow and can't drink with you anymore." She stretched out her jade arms, fell down her delicate body, and pounced on Hua Yunlong.

Hua Yunlong stretched out his arms, hugged her slender waist, and exclaimed, "That's right, that's right. There is a long time to come, let's rest early today." The two of them hugged each other and, led by the girl Yun'er, stumbled and walked towards the guest rooms in the middle courtyard.

I wonder if Jia Yan is really drunk or just pretending to be drunk? When she got into the room, she still hugged Hua Yunlong tightly and refused to let go. Although Hua Yunlong was not drunk, he was a playboy by nature. He was enjoying the beauty in his arms, but he seemed reluctant to let her go. The girl Yun'er was even more amazing. She closed the door, lit the oil lamp, smiled widely, stared with a pair of lively round eyes, and stared at the two people hugging each other in a daze, as if she was appreciating a pot of the finest twin water lilies, and she couldn't take her eyes off them for even a moment. After a while, with a moan, Jia Yan's jade palm slowly moved, stroking Hua Yunlong's bulging arms and strong chest, and then squeezed his waist again and again, while the other hand moved to the "Jiangtai Point" on Hua Yunlong's back...

At the critical moment, the door was kicked open with a bang. A man stood in front of the door and shouted angrily, "Well, you are a woman who pretends to be a decent person, but it turns out you are also a thief. I, Qiu, would like to ask, how am I worse than this boy?"

The two of them woke up with a shock. Hua Yunlong turned around and stood in front of Jia Yan, asking in surprise, "Your last name is Qiu?"

The man shouted angrily, "My surname is Qiu and my given name is Hua. If you see the opportunity, just stand aside and I won't cause any trouble for you."

Hua Yunlong stared at him. The more he looked, the more he disbelieved his ears. The more he looked, the more he felt that the person in front of him was not Qiu Hua. How could he call himself "anti-China"? How could Qiu Hua change his attitude? Doubts arose in my mind, and I was stunned for a moment. The man who called himself "Qiu Hua" was dressed and equipped with the same weapons as the one seen in Luoyang, and even his age was about the same, but his facial features and temperament were different, so it was obvious that they were not the same person.

Hua Yunlong thought to himself, "This man has high eyebrows, thin eyes, a big nose and bloody mouth, a dark green horse face, a lustful look, and more white than black. He is undoubtedly a lustful and cruel person, and is definitely not Qiu Hua from Luoyang. However, even if there are people with the same name and surname in the world, why are the number of people accompanying him, the clothes they wear, and the weapons they use all the same?"

Jia Yan came slowly, leaned towards Hua Yunlong, raised her slender hand, brushed her black hair, and said with a delicate and lazy smile: "Young master, we rarely see you, don't we?"

Jia Yan is a beauty in the world. Her every move can arouse people's reverie and fantasy. "Qiu Hua" originally came with anger, but when he saw her smile, he felt his anger was full of control, blocked in his chest, and he couldn't express it. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said in a loud voice: "Rarely seen? Humph! I have been chasing you all the way from Wanxian to Jingmen, how could I not see you that day?"

Jia Yan raised her eyelids and said with a smile, "Oh, then I have seen you six or seven times." She turned her head and asked Yun'er, "Yun'er, have you seen this young master?"

Yun Er chuckled and said, "We set out at four o'clock every morning and stay overnight. How often have we seen this gentleman?"

Jia Yan hummed, and said self-pityingly: "My bad habit is really harmful. Otherwise, we wouldn't have angered Mr. Qiu." Then she changed the subject, glanced at "Qiu Hua" with her beautiful eyes, and continued: "Mr. Qiu, you don't know, I have a problem of being afraid of ghosts, especially in broad daylight. If I suddenly encounter a green-faced, fang-toothed evil ghost, it will definitely cost me my life, so..."

That "Qiu Hua" was still furious, and he interrupted, "That's why you and your servant set out at four o'clock in the morning and stayed overnight, avoiding your young master every day?" Even though he was still angry and had a sense of blame, his tone of voice had become much softer, which showed that Jia Yan's coquettish and simian-like gestures had achieved the desired effect.

Jia Yan frowned slightly, her eyes flew, and she said faintly, "Master, you have wronged me. How dare I avoid you? I just leave early and rest early, which is beyond your expectation. Even if we meet because of this, it is unintentional." She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master, I have something inappropriate to say. I wonder if I can tell you?"

That "Qiu Hua" had been following him all the way, clearly because he coveted Jia Yan's beauty. Previously, he had thought that Jia Yan disliked him because she was ugly and deliberately avoided him, so he became furious and resentful. But now, seeing Jia Yan's charming and seductive manner, with no sign of rejection, his anger had long since dissipated. Upon hearing what he said, he couldn't help laughing and repeatedly said, "You tell me, you tell me, even if there is something inappropriate, this young master won't blame you."

Hua Yunlong secretly thought: "This 'Qiu Hua' is obsessed with sex. Jia Yan is clearly scolding him, but he is still complacent and unaware of it. Haha, "green face and fangs", although not exactly similar, it also resembles the character. ”

Jia Yan chuckled and said to Yun'er, "Yun'er, go and invite the gentlemen outside the door in. Don't stand there for too long, or we will blame you for not treating us well." Yun'er replied "yes" and walked towards the door.

Qiu Hua felt relieved and laughed, "No need to invite him. He is my subordinate. It's okay for him to stand for a while."

Yun'er turned around and said in a crisp voice, "The young master's subordinates can't do that either. You can't say that the young master is here to enjoy the blessings, but ask your subordinates to endure the cold and wait outside, right?"

Jia Yan pretended to be angry and said, "You have no rules at all. How dare you disobey the orders of the young master?"

After hearing this, "Qiu Hua" became even more pleased and laughed loudly, "She has a point. I'll ask them to go back now." He turned towards the door and said loudly, "Let's go. You are not needed here." A loud voice outside the door responded "Yes", followed by the footsteps of several people leaving one after another.

When "Qiu Hua" turned around, Jia Yan quickly exchanged a smile with Yun'er, and the situation was very mysterious. Hua Yunlong witnessed this and muttered to himself, "What's the logic? This woman wanted to press my acupoints secretly, and her technique is very advanced. Now she knows there are people outside the door, which shows that her skills are extraordinary. If she dislikes Qiu Hua's ugliness, she can just drive him away without any mercy. Why does she have to act so seductively and mysteriously? Am I seeing things?" ”

After giving his orders, "Qiu Hua" turned around with a rat-like look in his eyes. With a lewd look in his eyes, he said with a grin, "Pretty girl, even if you have no intention of avoiding me, you have kept me in a state of suspense for the past six days. Now that we meet today, I will never let you escape again."

Jia Yan raised her eyebrows and said in a pretentious tone: "Sir, you are really right. I have no intention of leaving."

Qiu Hua laughed loudly and said, "That's right, that's right. It's best if you don't leave. If you have anything to say, please speak. I'm here to listen."

Jia Yan then smiled and said, "Are you listening? That sounds like a good thing." She rolled her eyes at Qiu Hua, raised her hand to greet the guests, and said, "Sir, please take a seat first."

"Qiu Hua" laughed loudly, as if his soul had been hooked away, and he kept saying, "Sit, sit, you sit too." He walked to the table, dragged a chair, and sat down with a big horse and a golden sword.

Jia Yan held Hua Yunlong's arm in an intimate manner, moved her lotus steps, and walked over. Hua Yunlong felt very uncomfortable and thought to himself, "What is Jia Yan planning? Is she trying to make me jealous of that "Qiu Hua"? Is she standing aside and enjoying the joke? Humph, who am I, Hua, to let you get what you want? ”

Sure enough, that "Qiu Hua"'s expression changed drastically. Before, perhaps he was used to being arrogant, or perhaps he was too self-confident, and he did not take Hua Yunlong seriously. From beginning to end, he had never paid attention to Hua Yunlong's image and demeanor. But at this moment, seeing the two of them walking towards him arm in arm intimately, he felt a little jealous in his heart. After staring at them, he realized that Hua Yunlong was extremely handsome, a rare beautiful man in the world. Suddenly, he became jealous and ferocious. He stared at Hua Yunlong closely, wishing he could bite him a few times.

Jia Yan pretended not to notice his sudden stare, and sat down with Hua Yunlong, smiling, "Master Qiu, may I ask, is it true that you chased him from Wanxian to Jingmen?"

"Qiu Hua" withdrew his gaze, very impatient, and said: "Nonsense, how could I lie to you?" At this moment, he was burning with jealousy, and his ferocious look reappeared, no longer as friendly and polite as before.

Jia Yan still didn't care, her smile didn't diminish, she said: "So, sir, you are attracted by my beauty?" This was too explicit, in this kind of atmosphere, even "Qiu Hua" couldn't be said, but she said it without hesitation, for a moment. That "Qiu Hua" was dumbfounded and had no words to say. Jia Yan laughed sweetly, then shook her head and said, "From my point of view, your sincerity doesn't seem to be enough, don't you think?"

Qiu Hua raised his eyebrows. He said impatiently, "What do you want to say? Why don't you just speak frankly? You are a beauty in the world. Although I have seen many people, I have never seen one before. Whether you are sincere or not is too much to ask. If I don't like you, why would I have tracked you down all the way?"

Jia Yan pursed her lips and said disapprovingly, "Maybe not. You just talk nicely. If you really like me, how long would the time be between the time I stay at your house and the time I go to bed every day? Why don't I see you, young master?" Upon hearing this, "Qiu Hua" looked around with his rat eyes, his teeth trembling, and a look of surprise on his face, but he could not answer.

Jia Yan raised her eyebrows, sighed, and said, "Alas, you men..."

"Qiu Hua" suddenly screamed: "Hey...that's not right..."

He suddenly screamed, and Jia Yan was surprised and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Hua frowned and squinted his eyes, muttering to himself, "I feel drowsy and sleepy. Am I really that tired?" He paused and fell into deep thought, without another word.

Jia Yan smiled slyly and said, "What do you mean you are sleepy? Why don't you continue?"

Qiu Hua raised his eyes and said in surprise: "This is really weird. Every evening, I finally find your place, but after washing up, you become drowsy and fall on the couch, sleeping until dawn. This..."

Before he could finish his words, Jia Yan said angrily, "Stop talking about this and that. Just from this one point, I know that you are not sincere enough."

Qiu Hua said urgently, "You...can't say that."

Jia Yan said angrily, "I have been chasing him for days, but now that I have found him, he has gone to sleep..."

Qiu Hua interrupted hastily, "I...I..."

Jia Yan said in a pretentious tone, "I'll tell you, sir! You don't want to sleep, but you've been running around for days and you're really too tired. Is that right?"

Qiu Hua said sternly, "It's not fatigue. I am a martial artist, so even if I travel for three or two days, I won't feel tired."

Jia Yan said charmingly, "Oh! So you are a martial artist. I thought you were wearing a long sword, just like Brother Bai Qi. It is a common custom among young people nowadays."

When Hua Yunlong was mentioned, Qiu Hua became annoyed. He turned his eyes and asked Hua Yunlong fiercely, "Your name is Bai Qi?"

Hua Yunlong nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I am Bai Qi."

Qiu Hua rolled his eyes and glared at him, "What do you do?"

Hua Yunlong laughed and said, "Mr. Qiu's attitude in asking questions is very inappropriate. What do you do?"

Qiu Hua suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "Well, you dare to be rude to me?"

Hua Yunlong smiled and said, "That depends on how you, Mr. Qiu, act. If you are rude, why should I be polite to you?"

Qiu Hua laughed in anger, "Okay, okay, you are quite courageous..."

Hua Yunlong refused to give in and said, "What's the point of reading the books of sages? If a person knows etiquette, he can go anywhere in the world. If he doesn't know etiquette, he can't take a single step. Even though Mr. Qiu is a martial artist, I believe that the elders of your family must have explained this simple truth. I am polite and naturally confident. What does this have to do with courage?"

He said this with a smile on his face, without any anger, but there was a sting in his words, a tone of teaching. Qiu Hua was furious when he heard it, and he shouted fiercely: "Good boy, if you dare to contradict me again and again, you will lose your life."

Hua Yunlong had other thoughts in mind, and he said with a smile: "In this inn, I don't believe that Mr. Qiu dares to kill and rob, and is lawless..."

Before the word "discipline" was uttered, "Qiu Hua" was already furious, and said with a sinister smile: "You are as blind as a blind man. This young master will take your eyeballs, and then you can talk about law and discipline..." As he spoke, he stretched out his right arm forward, bent his index and middle fingers like hooks, and took out Hua Yunlong's eyes.

Hua Yunlong could see that although his right arm moved neither fast nor slow, the changes in his palm and fingers were endless and extremely ruthless. Ordinary masters would not be able to dodge it. However, Hua Yunlong was skilled and bold, and he had everything he needed. So they turned a blind eye and ignored it. It was said slowly, but it was so fast that Qiu Hua's palm and fingers were close to his face in the blink of an eye. Jia Yan suddenly stretched out her white wrist, gently lifted Qiu Hua's elbow, and said in a delicate voice: "Mr. Qiu, what are you doing? Brother Bai Qi didn't offend you..."

At this time, the maid Yun'er came over with a teacup and said, "Mr. Qiu, you came to see our young lady for fun, why are you so angry? Please sit down, Yun'er will bring you tea."

Qiu Hua's arm was suspended in the air, and he only retracted it at this moment. He stared at Jia Yan in astonishment for a while, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "You... who are you? What do you do?"

Yun'er took a cup of tea. Putting it in front of him, he said casually and in surprise: "Why? You don't know..."

Qiu Hua sat down again angrily and said, "Humph, bachelors are blinded by injustice. What exactly do you do? Just tell me straight."

Yun'er placed another cup of tea in front of Hua Yunlong, turned around and smiled, "We don't understand what sand is or isn't. Our young lady's surname is Jia Yan, and her stage name is Yan Jie'er. She is one of the most famous prostitutes in Jinling City..."

Jia Yan suddenly screamed, "You little bitch, are you going to die? You are a prostitute, you are worthy of being proud, right?"

"Red-haired prostitutes" and "pure prostitutes" are both girls in the brothel. A "red prostitute" is a prostitute who is already prostituted, while a "pure prostitute" is a virgin. These titles, which distinguish the status of prostitutes, are well known to any man who likes to hang out in the entertainment industry. That "Qiu Hua" was lustful and born lewd. He would pick flowers and pluck their petals without ever caring about the other person's identity. He was naturally very familiar with the common titles in the romantic world, but when he heard this, he widened his eyes and looked at Jia Yan in surprise, as if he didn't dare to believe it.

Yun'er stuck out her tongue, made a face, and said, "Yes, Miss, I was wrong. Miss is a famous person in Jinling City, not a prostitute..."

Jia Yan said angrily, "You're still talking?"

Yun Er laughed and said, "No more talking, no more talking." She turned around and said to "Qiu Hua," "Master, have some tea! Why are you in a daze?"

Qiu Hua came back to his senses and said coldly, "Humph, the strange thing must be your fault. This young master is not an ordinary person. You are just pretending to be so arrogant. Don't try to deceive me. Tell me, what tricks did you use to make this young master fall into a coma?"

Jia Yan raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, pursed her cherry lips, and said, "Mr. Qiu, you haven't thought your words carefully. You want to sleep because you are exhausted. What other tricks could I use? Yun'er has already explained my identity. A guest like you, Mr. Qiu, is hard to come by, so how could I deliberately make you fall asleep? Besides, I am a prostitute, how could I have such a brilliant trick? Mr. Qiu is a smart man, don't you think?" The tone of her speech was flattering and extremely resentful, with the flavor of a prostitute in a brothel who is compromising and trying to make ends meet, which makes people feel sorry for her.

Hua Yunlong stared at her and thought secretly: This woman turned out to be a prostitute, no wonder she is so charming and seductive, but... but that's not right, she clearly has martial arts skills, how could she become a prostitute? Could it be that she has other intentions?

The "Qiu Hua" man was not stupid either. He seemed to be wary of Jia Yan at the moment. He just said in a silent and cold voice: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. I stay here every day, and even if I fall asleep, is there a reason for it? Just now, you used the "Heavenly King Holding the Pagoda" to hold my elbow, which clearly shows that you have top-notch martial arts skills. snort! Sweet words and flattery are only enough to cover up one’s mistake. Go ahead! What exactly do you master and servant do? ”

Jia Yan was stunned at first, and then said in a low voice: "Now that Mr. Qiu said that, I have no way to defend myself. Yun'er, please see the guest off for me." After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave in angrily.

That "Qiu Hua" smiled sinisterly and said in a cold voice: "Send you away? Humph, I'm afraid it's not up to you."

Jia Yan wanted to go but stopped, frowned and complained: "What do you want? I wanted to make the atmosphere more harmonious, so I made small talk and teased you on purpose, but I didn't expect that it would become true, and you would think that I had done something to make you fall asleep. My lord, don't you think that since I want to harm you and have such a great ability to make you fall asleep, I can do it at any time, and still let you pester me and be so arrogant?" These words seemed soft but were actually hard, and the reasons were very sufficient. For a moment, "Qiu Hua" was dumbfounded and speechless.

Jia Yan paused for a moment, then sighed deeply, and continued, "As the saying goes: A thousand cups of wine are not enough when you meet a bosom friend, but a single word is too much when you are not on the same page. I had already stated this beforehand, and you agreed, sir, that even if it was inappropriate, you would not blame me. But I didn't expect that I would still blush in the end. In this case, even if I try to please you, it would still be like ice and charcoal, and it would be difficult for us to get along. Sir, please go ahead."

Having said this, he tugged at Hua Yunlong's sleeve and continued, "Brother Qi, let's go sit inside." According to the situation, it was decided that the guests would be kicked out.

Naturally, the "Qiu Hua" was not willing to be expelled, so he slammed the table and yelled, "Stop!"

Jia Yan paused and said, "What? Is the young master unreasonable? You must know that this is an inn, not a brothel in Jinling. It is up to me to decide whether to accept guests or not." The "Qiu Hua" was so threatened by her sharp words that veins popped up on his forehead, his whole body trembled, and his rat eyes were full of murderous light, as if he was about to beat someone up.

Xiao Yuner looked around and quickly advised: "Master, please don't be angry. Miss, please sit down too."

Jia Yan said coldly: "Why sit down? Although we are humble, the principles of the world are the same. Since we can't please the guests, why do we have to humiliate ourselves and ask for trouble?"

Yun'er was a smart little girl. She frowned and said, "Miss, we can make money by being harmonious. Mr. Qiu has been following you all the way, so he must have fallen in love with you at first sight. Just based on this, it's nothing for us to be offended a little."

She turned around and advised "Qiu Hua", "Sir, you should be magnanimous and have great fortune. Don't argue with our young lady. Here! Have a cup of tea first to calm down." She picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to "Qiu Hua".

That "Qiu Hua" was at a loss for words and became angry. Although he had some suspicions at first, they were all groundless and he had no evidence. Now, after Yun'er's gentle persuasion, he had no reason to get angry anymore. Moreover, with the beauty in front of him, he was unwilling to leave in anger. Therefore, he took the teacup almost stiffly, took a sip, and said: "Hmph, you master and servant have martial arts skills, and you hide yourself from the world. What are you planning on? In my opinion, you'd better speak frankly. Otherwise, hmph, hmph." He didn't say anything else, and it was clear that he was asking for trouble.

Xiao Yun'er was very well-behaved. Upon hearing this, she said seriously, "Master, this is your fault. What do we, the master and the servant, have in mind? Even if we have a plan, it is only to get a few taels of silver from you. Master, drink your tea and say less. I will persuade our young lady again."

Qiu Hua immediately asked, "Are you really after a few taels of silver?"

Yun Er frowned and said, "We have already explained our identities again and again. If we are not greedy for a few taels of silver, who would be born a lowly creature and willing to let others abuse us?"

"Qiu Hua" said coldly: "That's easy. I will stay here tonight and give you ten taels of silver." As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out an ingot of official silver, and placed it on the table with a "pa" sound.

Jia Yan shouted anxiously, "That...that won't work."

Qiu Hua glared at him and said, "Why not? Have you forgotten who you are?"

Jia Yan said calmly: "In business transactions, there is also a first come first served system. Tonight, Mr. Bai has taken the lead, and you..."

"Qiu Hua" interrupted and shouted: "Asshole, what do you mean by first come first served, I...eh..." He shook his head desperately, but it was no use. Before he could finish his "eh", he fell forward, crawled on the table, and passed out.

Jia Yan screamed in horror: "Ah...what's going on? Could it be...could it be that he has epilepsy?"

Hua Yunlong watched coldly and suddenly understood that Jia Yan was deliberately pretending and the problem was in the tea. He was quick-witted and responsive, and remained calm, laughing with a gloating look on his face, saying, "Don't panic, epilepsy won't kill anyone. Even if he dies, it's his own fault. He hastened his own death by suffering from a strange disease and having a bad temper." He picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely.

Jia Yan pretended to be nervous and said, "You are relieved. If he gets sick and cannot get up, then... that would be a life."

Hua Yunlong said leisurely: "It's just a life. If he dies, I will testify for Sister Yan in the government."

Jia Yan smiled secretly and said, "Mr. Hua is different from others after all. Thank you for this."

Hua Yunlong was surprised when she suddenly changed her address and said, "What? You know..."

Jia Yan giggled and said, "Who doesn't know the young master of the Hua family in Yunzhong Mountain?"

Hua Yunlong stood up suddenly and said in panic: "You...you..."

Jia Yan dodged quickly and said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Hua. You will fall down if you get angry."

Hua Yunlong was furious and asked, "Who are you? What did you do to the tea?"

Jia Yan smiled crisply and said, "It's nothing. A little bit of 'Seven Days Ecstasy Powder' won't kill you." ”

Hua Yunlong glared at him and said through gritted teeth: "Give me the drug. Humph, what is your purpose..." Before he finished speaking, his head shook, and then he fell to the ground with a "bang".

Jia Yan was so proud that she laughed heartily and said, "A descendant of the Daohua family doesn't mind the drugs that are given to the five gates. It turns out that you are also tough in words. Yun'er, quickly get that ugly ghost off the bed, and then ask Old Man Hao to prepare the car. Let's go."

Yun'er only responded, dragged "Qiu Hua"'s body, and asked in confusion: "Senior Sister, is he really the son of the Hua family?" In a moment, even the address was changed.

Jia Yan was a little anxious and impatient, and said, "He himself didn't deny it, why should you worry about it? Hurry up, wait for the ugly ghost's men to be alert, who knows how long it will take."

Hua Yunlong's coma was fake, but his pretense was real. He was born immune to all poisons, let alone a mere drug. Even the most heartbreaking poison could do nothing to him. He was pretending to be unconscious at the moment, squinting his eyes, secretly watching the actions of Jia Yan and the other person. Yun'er hid Qiu Hua's body and stood up to ask, "This Qiu must have a great background, why don't we take him away as well?"

Jia Yan said, "What's the point of taking a second-rate character away? If I wanted to take him away, Senior Sister would have already done it."

Yun'er disagreed and said, "The more people, the better. Our carriage can still accommodate them."

Jia Yan scolded lightly, "What do you know? We are so lucky to have met the descendants of the Hua family, which is already a great achievement. Go and order them to prepare the car, so as not to delay the journey." Yun'er then kept silent and left the room angrily.

After Yun'er left, Jia Yan bent down, picked up Hua Yunlong, kissed him on the cheek, and said to herself: "My handsome man, don't blame me. If it weren't for the last resort, looking at your handsome and strong appearance, how could I bear to let you suffer any grievances." She talked to herself, moved her lotus steps, gently placed Hua Yunlong on the bed, and then pointed her finger at the "Juque" acupoint on Hua Yunlong's chest.

"Juque" is also known as the "Returning Soul Point" and is one of the eight dizziness points in the human body. The incident happened suddenly and was truly unexpected. Even though the descendants of the Hua family had learned the skill of moving acupoints, and even though Hua Yunlong was smart and intelligent, he could not have imagined that Jia Yan had drugged him and then pressed his dizziness point. Therefore, point your finger where the wind blows and point it solidly. Hua Yunlong finally lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

After a while, Yun'er came back, and Jia Yan packed her bags. The two of them, one on each side, supported the drunk Hua Yunlong, walked out of the inn, got on the carriage, and headed east.

After more than ten days, at noon on this day, this small and exquisite carriage appeared outside the Shuixi Gate in the west of Jinling City. From this point of view, Jia Yan's words are somewhat credible, and they are indeed heading towards Jinling. At this time, the carriage was still two arrows' distance away from the Shuixi Gate. Old Man Hao, who was driving, was sweating profusely and was just about to add a few more whips to get into the city earlier.

Suddenly, five strong horses ran out from the deep green shade of Mochou Lake. On the leading horse sat a young man in a brocade robe and a wide belt. The young man pointed with his whip and shouted loudly: "Father Hao, is Miss Jia back?"

Before Old Man Hao could answer, Jia Yan's voice was heard from the carriage, whispering, "Don't pay attention to him, let's go into the city quickly." Old Man Hao naturally didn't dare to disobey, and he whipped the horse and drove it faster.

When the young master saw that Old Man Hao did not respond, but instead whipped his horse and galloped away, he felt a little angry. He pulled the reins quickly, rushed over, and shouted in a deep voice: "Old Man Hao, what's your logic? Am I, Yu Zhaonan, the 'Mengchang', not worthy of making friends with you? "While talking, the horses stopped, and the men and horses stood still like mountains, blocking the center of the official road.

Yu Zhaonan was blocking the road, and Old Man Hao had no choice but to pull the reins with both hands and forcibly stop the horse that was running in pain. The horse let out a long neigh and stood up, and the carriage stopped. At this moment, several strong horses behind had also arrived and lined up in a row behind Yu Zhaonan. Jia Yan lifted the window curtain at the right time, pretending to be puzzled, and looked out, saying, "Old Man Hao, what's going on?" He paused, then changed the subject and continued, "Oh, it turned out to be Master Yu..."

When Yu Zhaonan saw Jia Yan, he was immediately delighted. He dismounted and ran over, saying, "It is indeed Miss Jia who has returned. Miss Jia, I have been looking forward to seeing you every day since you left for the west, just like looking forward to the arrival of a rainbow during a drought. Haha, today I finally got what I wanted."

Jia Yan was anxious, but she had to respond politely, saying, "Oh, how dare I accept this? How about this? I will hold a banquet in my room tonight, and please come to my room and show me your presence."

Yu Zhaonan laughed and said, "Holding a welcoming banquet is my job. I'll accompany the girl to the city now." He stretched out his hand, opened the car door, and stepped into the car.

Jia Yan didn't think about this, and hurriedly reached out to push it, saying, "The inside of the car is very dirty, let's meet in the evening."

The carriage was only eight feet long and wide. Once the door was opened, everything inside the carriage could be seen at a glance. Hua Yunlong was lying on the brocade couch in front of Jia Yan, so he had nowhere to hide. Yu Zhaonan was stunned at first, then he laughed and said, "I was wondering why Old Man Hao refused to stop the car. It turns out that Miss Jia brought back a man." He reached out and grabbed Hua Yunlong's collar and pulled him out of the car.

Jia Yan was very anxious, and chased after him, saying, "Hurry up and put him down, that's..."

Yu Zhaonan flicked his wrist and threw Hua Yunlong towards his companion, shouting, "Brother Yifeng, please take this boy back to the house. I am going to accompany Miss Jia into the city."

How could Jia Yan let him take Hua Yunlong away? She paused for a moment, then pounced on him. He shouted urgently: "No, no, you can't take him away."

Yu Zhaonan was startled, then he quickly moved to block Jia Yan's way and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop, Miss Jia is also a follower of our sect, I was mistaken." Jia Yan was anxious and distracted, revealing her Qinggong skills, which were discovered by Yu Zhaonan. She was stunned for a moment.

Yu Zhaonan stared at Jia Yan with a focused gaze, and continued coldly: "Miss Jia has unique skills, and she is hiding in the Fengchen Academy. I think there must be another reason. I would like to hear the details. If you have any difficulties, I will help you solve them."

Jia Yan came back to her senses and said in panic, "Master Yu, why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"

Yu Zhaonan smiled coldly and said: "My nickname is "Sai Yuchang", how could it be easily obtained? Let's get to know each other better. I have known the girl for many years, and her difficulties are no big deal to me. ”

Jia Yan rubbed her hands and stamped her feet, her anxiety was evident in her words, but she suppressed her emotions and said softly, "I have heard that Master Yu is anxious for others. He has taken good care of me over the years, and I am deeply grateful. But...but I have other difficulties that I cannot tell others. Please forgive me, Master Yu."

Yu Zhaonan was not moved by the soft words. He snorted coldly and said, "Young lady, you know that I am anxious for others, and you also know that I hate evil. You have special skills and hide yourself from the world. If you don't have other difficulties, you must have another conspiracy. If you don't explain it, are you forcing me to use force?"

Jia Yan's heart trembled, and she pleaded softly, "Master Yu, why do you have to make things difficult for me? What good will that do to Master Yu?"

Yu Zhaonan sneered and said, "I never consider the benefits or losses when doing things, but I just ask whether it is right or wrong..."

Jia Ma said, "Master Yu is forcing others to do what they want. Is this right?"

Yu Zhaonan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's useless to argue cleverly. Just speak frankly to avoid hurting the harmony."

Jia Yan observed his expression and knew that it would not end amicably. Her face darkened and she said, "Master Yu will definitely meddle in other people's business. This relationship will definitely be ruined."

Yu Zhaonan's eyes flashed, he laughed and said, "I was wondering why you brought a man back. It seems that my judgment was correct. There must be some conspiracy."

Jia Yan's eyes were cold and she shouted in a stern voice, "Master Yu, return that man to me quickly. If not, don't blame me for being cruel and merciless."

Yu Zhaonan laughed loudly and ignored him. After he finished laughing, he turned around and asked, "Brother Yifeng, is that person a member of our sect? Is his acupuncture points blocked?"

"Brother Yifeng" replied loudly, "This man has a very kind face, and I seem to have seen him somewhere. I have already unblocked his acupuncture points, but he is still unconscious."

Yu Zhaonan was slightly startled and said, "Then there must be some other tricks done to him. Brother Yifeng, take him back first and ask my father to diagnose him."

Before the man called "Yi Feng" made any move, Jia Yan hurriedly called out, "Old Man Hao, Yun'er, stop him. Don't let him get away. Don't let him take those people away." Yun'er and the old man driving the car acted immediately and blocked the four riders' way back. Their movements were as fast as lightning, and they were not inferior to those of first-rate masters.

Yu Zhaonan was shocked and turned around and shouted, "Miss Jia, I don't want to offend you before I know the truth. Who is that man? Why did you kidnap him?"

At this moment, Jia Yan's charming manner was gone, her eyes were focused, and she looked as cold as a beautiful statue carved by a master craftsman. She was no longer the coquettish and charming prostitute in the brothel. She was seen with a flash of lightning and murderous intent, and she spoke word by word, "Master Yu, I may not be your enemy, but if you insist on meddling in my affairs, I will not be able to care about much else." She reached out her hand to touch her clothes, and found a foot-long dagger that was flashing with cold light and giving off an intimidating chill.

Yu Zhaonan was secretly surprised, but still sneered: "I have a bad reputation. When have you ever heard of me giving up halfway through something?..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Yan interrupted him coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. I am no match for you. You can take her away..."

Suddenly, "Brother Yifeng" shouted loudly: "Brother Zhaonan, I remember now, this man looks very similar to the hero Hua from Yunzhong Mountain..."

Yu Zhaonan was shocked and turned around in shock, "What? You said it was Xia Hua?"

"Brother Yifeng" said: "No, it's the son of Hero Hua."

Yu Zhaonan turned around, intimidating people, and asked in a stern voice: "Tell me, is that man Mr. Hua?"

Jia Yan said coldly: "I have said before, if I cannot defeat you, you can take me away, why ask any more questions?"

Yu Zhaonan's mind raced, and he suppressed his anger, saying, "The great hero Hua is so virtuous, and has given our Yu family a new life. I will not allow anyone to touch a hair on his nephew's head. You are a woman, and your evil deeds are not yet known. I don't want to fight with you either, so go away."

Jia Yan smiled coldly and said, "Leave? Leave someone behind." She swung the dagger and swept it past with a "swish" sound.

This move seems very slow, but it is actually extremely fast. With a flash of cold light and an extremely sharp sword energy, it suddenly attacked Yu Zhaonan's side. Yu Zhaonan just turned around when he suddenly felt the sword energy approaching his body. Without turning his head, he swung a whip with his backhand, paused, and shot forward, shouting: "Brother Yifeng, let's go quickly."

His movements were as fast as a wild horse running in the sky, and he swung the whip. The energy is surging and the power is overwhelming. Jia Yan was able to block Bi's powerful force, but he had already sat firmly on the carved saddle, and drove his horse at full speed, heading straight into the city. The other four did not hesitate any longer. They waved their whips, shouted in unison, and ran away. The four of them were great horsemen and moved too fast. Yun'er and the old man surnamed Hao cautiously stretched out their arms, but they only raised up dust on the ground and could not stop them.

Little Yun'er was still unwilling to give up and was about to jump and chase him, but Jia Yan sighed dejectedly and said, "Yun'er, stop. I didn't expect him to be so skilled."

Yun Er said angrily, "Can we just give up?"

Jia Yan said, "What else can we do if we don't give up? Let's get in the carriage. We still have to be on guard against him coming to cause trouble." With a sigh, Hao got on the carriage. Old Man Hao whipped the horse and galloped towards Jinling City.

Jinling, also known as Jiangning, was the land of gold and powder during the Six Dynasties. The present Jinling is even more prosperous than before, with many famous scenic spots and historical sites, making it the most famous place in the south of the Yangtze River. Along the Qinhuai River, next to the Confucius Temple, there are crowds of tourists during the day, and at night there is music and singing, bright lights and wine, and people go on all night long. It is really a place where all kinds of people gather, and the fragrance of green sleeves lingers. Being there makes people feel nervous, but also makes people linger.

On the Qinhuai River, a place known as a den of gold, there is a house facing the street with its back to the river, just an arrow-shot away from the Confucius Temple. This house has red walls and green tiles, tall buildings and deep courtyards. A few exquisite painted boats are parked on the river behind the house. In front of the wide and famous gate, two huge dragon lanterns are hung high. The dragon lanterns still have red candles burning, and the flickering candlelight illuminates the gate. The three golden characters "Yixinyuan" are dazzling and radiant.

This "Yixinyuan" was one of the most famous brothels in Jinling City. It employed famous chefs, had pleasure boats, and possessed countless stunning beauties for the patrons to eat, drink, and have fun. All the wealthy businessmen, tycoons, and corrupt officials in Jinling City knew the name of the "Yixinyuan" on the Qinhuai River. Jia Yan's carriage galloped into the city, turned around several times, arrived at the Qinhuai River, and entered the "Yixinyuan".

She called herself a prostitute from Jinling, and it seemed to be true. However, when the carriage entered the courtyard, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard, and it took a long time for the courtyard to calm down. What was the reason? Due to the high walls and deep courtyards, and the fact that this is not the time when there are many escorts, the reason behind this is not something that outsiders can understand. Seeing Jia Yan like this, Yu Zhaonan rushed into the city, feeling extremely nervous.

It was inconvenient to ride horses on the main street, so the five of them took the back streets and alleys, passed the Drum Tower, went out of the Xuanwu Gate, and galloped non-stop, heading straight for a vast and deep manor by the lake. Before anyone arrived, Yu Zhaonan had already shouted in a stern voice, "Whose turn is it? Hurry up and invite the old man."

A strong man flashed out from the courtyard gate and bowed and said, "Sir, Yu Mao is on duty."

Yu Zhaonan waved his hand from afar and shouted in a stern voice: "Quick, please ask the old man to tell him that Master Hua from Yunzhong Mountain has arrived." Yu Mao was slightly startled, then responded with a "yes", turned around and ran away.

Yu Zhaonan and others kept on going. Only in front of the hall did he dismount. During this gallop, everyone was sweating profusely, but Yu Zhaonan was too anxious to care about the sweat running down his cheeks. After getting off the horse, he turned around and asked, "Brother Yifeng, has Young Master Hua changed?"

This "Brother Yifeng" was also a young man, with bright eyes, strong shoulders and broad waist, and a heroic and elegant appearance. He held Hua Yunlong with both hands and walked up the stairs, saying, "Young Master Hua is still unconscious. After all this running around, he is still unconscious."

Then a sturdy and strong young man with thick eyebrows and huge eyes said, "Could it be that he has internal injuries and is unconscious?"

Another young man with a slender figure and phoenix eyes said, "Mr. Hua looks calm and doesn't look like he's injured."

A young man with a broad forehead, prominent nose and square face said, "That means another acupoint is blocked. Brother Yifeng, put Master Hua down and check him carefully."

Several people talked at once, and escorted "Brother Yifeng" into the hall. "Brother Yifeng" laid Hua Yunlong flat on an eight-immortal table in the middle, raised his right arm, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said: "In my opinion, Master Hua may have taken some kind of drug..."

The sturdy young man clapped his hands suddenly and shouted, "That makes sense. Among the five of us, Brother Yifeng has the highest martial arts skills. If there are other acupoints that are blocked, Brother Yifeng will definitely be able to tell that Mr. Hua is most likely poisoned."

Yu Zhaonan frowned and said, "Brother Changyi, don't make a fuss. My father will be here soon anyway. Once my father arrives, the problem will be solved." At this time, a family member came out with a tea tray in his hand with several cups of hot tea.

Yu Zhaonan waved his hand and said, "Put down the tea and go and tell the old master that Mr. Hua from Luoxia Villa is unconscious and is now in the front hall. Please come quickly, old master. "The family member replied "yes", put down the tea tray, and ran away.

Yu Zhaonan stared at Hua Yunlong and suddenly sighed, saying: "Brothers and friends, being given a nickname of 'Mengchang', now it seems harmless, but it is too unrealistic. ”

The sturdy young man called "Brother Changyi" raised his thick eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Why is Brother Zhaonan so excited? We, the Five Young Masters of Jinling, are of the same mind. Everyone knows that we are good friends. As the saying goes, three friends are good, and three friends are bad. The more friends, the better. What's wrong with that?"

"Brother Changyi"'s surname is Cai, "Brother Yifeng"'s surname is Yuan, the tall boy is called Li Bosheng, the boy with a square face is called Gao Songping, and together with Yu Zhaonan, they are known as the "Five Young Masters of Jinling". It turned out that the five of them were all from wealthy families and were of similar age. They are like-minded, chivalrous friends, and generous and righteous. They usually go out together, travel together, and visit red-light districts, scenic spots and historical sites, wherever they are interested, they will visit. In addition, each of them has good martial arts skills, so they not only make friends widely, but also sometimes meddle in other people's affairs and love to speak up for the weak.

Therefore, the name of the "Five Young Masters of Jinling" was known to everyone. Young people loved fame and success, and they were quite proud of themselves in the past. But at this moment Yu Zhaonan suddenly felt emotional. Not only "Brother Changyi" asked a question in confusion, but the others were also deeply puzzled. They shifted their gazes and looked at Yu Zhaonan at the same time. Yu Zhaonan smiled faintly and said, "It's no wonder that Brother Changyi was surprised. I also felt a little puzzled. However, I was thinking that I was too impractical in my daily life. As a result, when the time came, I was helpless and had to rely on my father. This was really wrong."

The tall and slender Li Bosheng frowned and asked, "Brother Zhaonan, are you saying that you wasted your time in the past and failed to inherit Uncle Yu's legacy?"

Yu Zhaonan nodded slowly and said, "My father's medical knowledge and ability to identify and detoxify poisons are said to be second to none in the world, except for the lineage of the Nine Poison Fairy Princess of Miaojiang. However, I have only learned a little bit of my father's martial arts. How can I not feel moved?"

Cai Changyi was undoubtedly unwilling to use his brain, and he said openly: "There is no need to feel sad. Brother Zhaonan is still young and determined to learn. It is not too late now."

Yu Zhaonan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not too late to learn now, but if Mr. Hua has any problems, what's the use of mastering medicine? I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Cai Changyi opened his eyes wide, and asked in astonishment, "What? You're talking about Master Hua..."

Yu Zhaonan smiled bitterly and said, "You can see that Mr. Hua's injuries don't look like injuries, nor does he look like poisoning. If his acupoints are blocked, we don't know where the blocked acupoints are, which delayed the opportunity for treatment. How can we make up for this regret? If I learn my father's medical skills, even if I can't do anything, I will feel better. Brother Changyi, now I am not just sighing, I am regretting."

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at Hua Yunlong unconsciously, only to see that his face looked the same and his breathing was steady. He really didn't look like he was poisoned or injured, so everyone frowned. After a pause, Cai Changyi suddenly said in a loud voice: "Brother Zhaonan, this is your fault. Why don't you ask Jia Yan for clarification?"

Yu Zhaonan said: "Firstly, Jia Yan can't speak, and secondly, I am anxious."

Cai Changyi's eyes flashed and he said, "Why doesn't she tell me? Humph, I'll go ask her." He walked out of the hall.

Gao Songping took a step forward, blocking his way, and said, "No need to go. We are trying to steal her, and the two sides are already hostile. Naturally, she won't tell you."

Cai Changyi snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid she won't tell me." He wanted to walk past Gao Songping, but just as he took a step, he heard a vigorous voice coming from the back of the hall, urgently saying, "Nan'er, how is Young Master Hua?" As soon as the words fell, an old man with white hair and silver beard came out from behind the screen door, followed by a boy carrying a medicine bag. This old man, known as the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor", was Zhaonan's father, a famous philanthropist in Jinling.

Cai Changyi stopped and hurried to meet him with Yu Zhaonan and others. Yu Zhaonan said: "This person looks very similar to Master Hua. I think he must be Master Hua's son..."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" had already seen Hua Yunlong lying on the table. He waved his hand and walked over to him, saying, "Should he be treated? Has he been unconscious all this time?"

Yu Zhaonan said: "Yes, he has been unconscious."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" walked to the table, frowned, looked at it for a while, and said to himself: "The facial features are very similar to those of Xia Xia Hua, and the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose are very similar to those of Madam Bai. He is the son of the Hua family." He bent down, examined the tongue coating and eyes, then held the pulse, concentrating on checking Hua Yunlong's qi and pulse. The old man's face became more and more solemn. After about half a cup of tea, he loosened his five fingers and said, "Mr. Hua has taken drugs, and the blood flow in the Juque point has not been smooth for long. "He paused, looked intently, and asked Yu Zhaonan, "Nan'er, where did you find Master Hua? ”

Yu Zhaonan said: "My children and others were touring the western suburbs, and at the Shuixi Gate he met... met..." Jia Yan was a prostitute, and he dealt with prostitutes. In front of his father, he stammered and couldn't say anything.

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" frowned and said, "Why is Nan'er hesitant? What happened? Why don't you tell us?" Yu Zhaonan paused, and felt that he had to bite the bullet and told him everything that happened at Shuixi Gate.

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" had no intention of blaming his future son. He listened quietly to Yu Zhaonan's words, then focused his eyes and stared at Hua Yunlong's face, as if he was exploring something, or thinking about something? The "Five Young Masters of Jinling" and even the boy carrying the medicine bag did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the "Confucian Doctor of Jiangnan". As a result, there was silence in the hall and everyone was extremely nervous. After a long while, the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" suddenly understood and said, "I understand. What a brilliant technique."

As he spoke, he leaned down, gently stroked Hua Yunlong's head, and slowly moved to the "Yuzhen Point" behind his head. A look of joy suddenly appeared on his face. He lifted up Hua Yunlong's body and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Hua is lucky. You rode your horses at full speed and tossed him around, and the silver needle on the "Yuzhen Point" actually moved. Nan'er, all of you follow me. "After saying this, he moved his feet carefully and walked towards the back.

The "Five Young Masters of Jinling" looked at each other, their hearts trembled, and they took big strides to follow. Walking across the corridor, the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said again: "This Mr. Hua has a peculiar physique. The aphrodisiac seems to have no effect on him. Go back and remove the silver needle. I think he will be fine. Nan'er will go first and tell your mother, and then come to my study. I have something to say." When he said this, everyone felt relieved. Yu Zhaonan responded with a "yes", walked past everyone, and ran to the backyard.

Soon, the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" led the other gentlemen to the study. The study was spotless and very tidy, with a brocade couch against the wall by the window. He placed Hua Yunlong on the brocade couch, took the bag from the accompanying boy, took out the necessary items, and then proceeded to take out the silver needle. The symptoms are already there, so it’s easy to do.

After preparing all necessary medicines, the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" lightly pressed Hua Yunlong's "Lingtai Point" with his right palm, held a magnet in his left hand, aimed at the "Yuzhen Point" behind his head, and gently pressed the magnet. He slowly moved the magnet away from his head. On the magnet, there was a tiny silver needle about half an inch long. So he retracted his right palm and carefully applied a packet of yellow medicine powder to the needle hole. There was a little blood at the needle hole, which instantly formed a scab after being applied with the yellow medicine powder.

This operation did not take long and was not necessarily troublesome, but the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" seemed to have just fought a fierce battle with someone. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The onlookers were also extremely nervous, with their hearts in their chests. After the operation, the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Lucky, lucky, if it were any mistake, I, Yu Shangde, would have regretted it for the rest of my life."

Cai Changyi didn't think twice and said, "Uncle, I don't think it's that troublesome to use the magnet to absorb the silver needle."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" packed up his utensils and handed them to the boy, while still saying with lingering fear: "Child's opinion, child's opinion, the "Yuzhen Point" is one of the thirty-six major fatal points in the human body. It is the gateway to the Niwan, the hub of the Governor Vessel, and connects to the thirteen meridians. It is not a child's play. My skills are not enough to absorb the silver needle with internal force. I can only use a magnet, which is more dangerous..."

Cai Changyi asked curiously, "Will that be dangerous?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said, "How can there be no danger? Think about it, the magnet's suction is all over the body, and to attract the silver needle, it must follow the original needle hole. If the technique is slightly biased or unstable, the silver needle will be shaken and the meridian will be injured immediately. The consequence is either death or disability. How great is the danger?"

Everyone then understood why the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" was so trembling and cautious. Cai Changyi was even more dumbfounded and puzzled. He said in astonishment: "Oh! So there is a reason for this. No wonder my uncle is sweating all over."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, the matter has passed, and Master Hua is now fine."

He paused for a moment, glanced at the four of them, and continued, "My dear nephews, I have something on my mind, and I want to talk to you today." Everyone didn't know what he was going to talk about, and sat down anxiously.

At this time, the sound of footsteps and a cane hitting the ground could be heard from afar. The boy beside the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said, "The madam is here. Go and tell the kitchen to prepare wine. After Young Master Hua wakes up, tell them to start the feast." The boy bowed and said "yes", then retreated.

Yu Zhaonan accompanied his mother into the study, and the young masters quickly stood up to greet them. Madam Yu glanced at Hua Yunlong and asked her husband, "Old man, is Mr. Hua okay?"

The old lady had white hair and a string of Buddhist beads hanging around her neck. In her right hand she held a dragon-shaped cane that looked very heavy. Her eyes were bright, and it was clear that she was also a person with martial arts skills. The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said, "Mr. Hua, it's okay. I have taken out the silver needle. You will wake up in about a meal. Madam, please take a seat. I want to take this opportunity to talk to Nan'er and the others."

As Old Madam Yu sat down, she asked, "What are you talking about? Is it about Nan'er's involvement with women?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said, "We need to talk about the matter of being involved in the flower garden, and we also need to talk about other matters."

He turned his head and looked at his son, saying, "Nan'er, your father did not force you to practice martial arts, nor did he force you to study medicine. He allowed you to make friends as much as you wanted, and even went to the river to get drunk, or to a brothel to call a prostitute, and he did not stop you. Do you know why?"

Yu Zhaonan blushed and said, "I am ignorant, but I know that my father has other intentions. Maybe our Yu family came from the underworld, and we can't forget our roots. It's always good to make more friends and help others solve some problems."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" nodded and said, "It can't be said to be beneficial, let alone harmful. Your words 'don't forget your roots' do make some sense, but you are not thinking realistically." You must know that the world of martial arts is the source of trouble and is not worth lingering on. As for helping those in need, it is part of human duty. If you and I don't do it, someone else will do it. This is not my intention as a father. ”

Yu Zhaonan suddenly understood and said, "I understand, Daddy indulges me like this because he doesn't want to forget the kindness of Hero Hua."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" showed an expression of approval on his face and nodded frequently, saying: "Nan'er is very sharp, and this is exactly what your father thinks." Everyone frowned, and everyone felt confused.

Madam Yu said, "Your words have confused me. We will never forget the kindness that Mr. Hua has bestowed upon us. We have no chance to repay him, so I can only offer the portraits of Mr. Hua and his son, recite Buddhist scriptures for him every morning and evening, and burn some incense to show my gratitude. You doted on Nan'er, indulged her, and didn't urge her to make progress. This is a huge mistake. Now you are pushing the blame on Mr. Hua. This... this... this is a sin."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" laughed loudly and said, "Madam, is Nan'er not a person who seeks to make progress?"

The old lady was slightly startled, glanced at her son, and said, "What exactly do you want to say? Why don't you just speak directly? I am getting more and more confused the more you beat around the bush."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you right away." He glanced at Hua Yunlong, then spread out his palm, holding the tiny silver needle that had just been sucked out, and continued, "Madam, please look, this is the silver needle taken from Mr. Hua's "Yuzhen Point". ”

The old guard took the silver needle and looked at it again and again, saying, "There is some residual drug left on this silver needle. What's going on? Is the situation serious?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said, "I have been worried about something, and now I am afraid it will explode."

The old lady was startled and asked, "Are you saying that there will be a turmoil in the martial world?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" nodded and said sadly, "When chaos lasts for a long time, it must be controlled; when control lasts for a long time, chaos will follow. It has been twenty years since the hero Hua wiped out the evil spirits and pacified the martial arts world. The evil spirits that escaped the net and the heroes who refused to surrender, how could they be willing to remain submissive for the rest of their lives? Alas! The law of nature is cyclical, and it never fails. It just came too fast."

The old lady was slightly startled and said, "I'm afraid you are just worrying for nothing."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said: "I have always been optimistic and know my fate, so why should I worry about things that may not happen? Since the treasure hunt in Jiuqu, thanks to the great hero Hua, the Tiantai sect has been able to retrieve the secrets of its own sect. As a husband, I am interested in both medicine and pharmacy, and I especially obtained a copy of "Hua Tuo's Classics", which has led to my current success." Because I am optimistic and know my fate, and I admire the character of Master Hua, I was able to watch from the sidelines at that time. I always feel that Master Hua is too lenient and the disaster has not been eradicated. Therefore, in recent years, I have been worried about this all the time..."

It turns out that this "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" was originally a veteran of the Tiantai School. He had dug up treasures in many places and brought his family prosperity back to prominence. Because he was indifferent by nature, he presented the secrets of his school to the head of the school. He then lived in Jinling, practicing medicine and saving lives. He eventually became a famous doctor and a well-known philanthropist in Jinling City. Who would have thought that he was grateful for Hua Tianhong's gift and was actually paying attention to the developments in the martial arts world. Such measures can be said to be thoughtful. By this time, the "Five Young Masters of Jinling" had understood the general idea. Cai Changyi was a rough man, but he was not stupid. The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" paused for a moment, and then he said, "I understand. Uncle allowed us to eat, drink and have fun. He didn't discipline us because he wanted us to pay attention to the dynamics of the martial arts world."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said, "If a tyrant or evildoer wants to make a move, it is useless to pay attention. You must get used to it and leave no traces, then you can gain something. Just like this time when you met that girl named Jia, if you have a prejudice against her, you will not be able to save Mr. Hua." He paused and suddenly continued, "However, you are all good children and you know your limits, so I can rest assured."

The fourth young master's face also turned red, and Yuan Yifeng continued: "My nephew dared to speculate, I am afraid that uncle has other instructions."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" nodded and smiled, "Yifeng is smart. My intention is, firstly, to let you have more contacts so that you can understand the changes in the martial arts world, and secondly, to let you make more friends so that if an accident happens, you can help Master Hua to do something. My intention is naturally to repay Master Hua, but it is also for the sake of the overall situation. You all don't mind, so just follow me, right?"

Cai Changyi shouted, "He is afraid of his father's support. Who would be offended? If anyone is offended, we will cut off our friendship with him."

Yuan Yifeng, Li Bosheng, and Gao Songping said at the same time: "Brother Changyi is right. This is the support of our uncle. Our uncle's heart is clear. If we can follow the hero Hua to eradicate the evil spirits and make a career, it will not be in vain for our uncle's painstaking love..." Before he finished speaking, "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" laughed and said: "Very good, very good. My dear nephews are sensible and righteous. This comforts me deeply."

The old lady frowned slightly, raised the silver needle in her hand, and asked, "Old man, is your worry caused by this silver needle?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" looked back and said, "It was because of this silver needle. Madam, please think about it. The woman surnamed Jia hid herself from the world and was willing to be a prostitute. She also possessed unique skills. This silver needle not only had residual drugs, but also had a superb acupuncture technique. The person who was controlled was the heir of the hero Hua. With these kinds of signs put together, doesn't it mean that there will be a turmoil in the martial arts world?"

The old guard thought for a moment and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Hua Dahua Yunlong turned over on the brocade couch. The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" hurriedly whispered, "Madam, please be patient. We will have to ask Mr. Hua for details." After that, he stood up and walked towards Hua Yunlong.

Hua Yunlong suddenly sat up and shouted, "I'm suffocating to death."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" stretched out his left arm, gently supported him, and said: "Mr. Hua, you'd better lie down for a while..."

Hua Yunlong opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Where... where is this?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Physician" said: "The "Medical House" in Nanjing is where I live. ”

Hua Yunlong looked around and asked intently, "Who is the old man? What's your name?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said: "I am an old man named Yu Shangde, and people call me the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor". ”

Hua Yunlong was puzzled and asked: "Am I sick or injured?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said, "The young master was treated by Xiao Xiao and was injected with a soul-stirring drug."

Hua Yunlong frowned and said, "The drug for the soul-stirring? My father-in-law said this is Jinling?"

The Jiangnan Confucian Doctor said, "That's right."

Hua Yunlong suddenly realized, "Oh," and said, "I remember now, where is Jia Yan?"

Yu Zhaonan said, "Jia Yan is a prostitute from Yixinyuan. At this moment..."

Before he finished speaking, Hua Yunlong struggled to the ground and said impatiently: "This woman is not simple, where is "Yixinyuan"? I'll go find her. ”

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" stopped him and said, "Please be patient, Mr. Hua. The situation is indeed not simple. I'm afraid that woman is no longer in the "Yixinyuan" now. ”

Hua Yunlong was slightly startled, and once again looked around, finally landing his gaze on the face of the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor". He paused and said, "Old man, do you recognize Xiaoke? Xiaoke was injected with a drug, and was it Master Meng who saved him?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" nodded and said, "Twenty years ago, when the treasure was being excavated in Jiuqu, I met your father and mother. It was just a small matter, not worth mentioning. How do you feel, Mr. Hua? Are you feeling well?"

When Hua Yunlong thought that the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" was an old friend of his parents, he straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly, saying, "Junior Hua Yunlong, I pay my respects to Senior Yu."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" was eager to return the greeting and said, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. If you have any discomfort, Mr. Hua, I have something to ask you."

Hua Yunlong secretly wondered why this old man Yu was so humble. While thinking in his heart, he said: "The drug that confuses the soul has no effect on me, and I don't feel uncomfortable. If you have anything to say, I am all ears."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" laughed heartily and said, "That's good. Please take a seat, Mr. Hua." He then introduced the people present to Hua Yunlong. Hua Yunlong also bowed to Madam Yu and expressed his long admiration for the "Five Young Masters of Jinling" before sitting down calmly.

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" glanced at his son and said, "Nan'er, tell him in advance about your fortunate encounter with the young master, so that Mr. Hua won't have any suspicion." After hearing his father's instructions, Yu Zhaonan recounted the whole story of intercepting Jia Yan from beginning to end.

When talking about rushing back to the "Medical Cottage", Old Madam Yu raised the silver needle in her hand and continued: "The reason why Young Master Hua is unconscious is that this aphrodisiac needle has suppressed Young Master Hua's "Yuzhen Point". ”

Hua Yunlong listened very carefully and exclaimed in shock: "Yuzhen Point?" ”

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said, "The matter is over now. Mr. Hua, please calm down and check if you have lost anything important."

Hua Yunlong was shocked. Everything else didn't matter, except for the last letter from "Madam Yuding" hidden in the soft armor. The letter must not be lost. Therefore, when he heard the words, he was worried and hurriedly reached into his arms. Fortunately, his soft armor was still there, and the three medicine bottles his aunt gave him were also in his arms. As for the sword for self-defense, the clothes he carried with him, and the dragon horse, even if they were lost, it didn't matter. He knew that the soft armor had not moved and the letter was still there, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that Jia Yan has not searched my body, so the sword and clothes are not a big deal.

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" frowned and said, "That's strange. There's no reason why the woman surnamed Jia wouldn't be searched? ... Mr. Hua, do you remember the situation when you were restrained?"

Hua Yunlong blushed slightly and said, "To be honest, it was my own carelessness..." He went on to tell the story of his encounter with Jia Yan, and how his acupoints were controlled. He then said, "I thought I was immune to all poisons and that the 'Seven Days Ecstasy Powder' was invincible to me, but I didn't expect her to press my acupoints. By the time I realized it, I was already unconscious. As for the fact that she inserted a drug-induced ejaculation needle into my 'Jade Pillow Point', I knew nothing about it. ”

When the "Five Young Masters of Jinling" heard him say that he was immune to all poisons, everyone was skeptical. The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" listened quietly and thought at the same time. When he finished speaking, he still didn't know why Jia Yan didn't search Hua Yunlong's body. There was silence for a long while. The study was cold and quiet, but the atmosphere was tense and solemn, like an invisible iron hoop, tightly gripping everyone's heartstrings, making it difficult to breathe.

Cai Changyi was very impatient. After waiting for a while, he suddenly said loudly, "Don't think about it, uncle. Let's go to Yixinyuan." ”

Gao Songping also said: "No matter whether Jia Yan has returned to Yixinyuan or not, it will never be a bad idea to take a trip to Yixinyuan. Uncle Yu, your nephew would like to pretend to be a client and go to Yixinyuan in the evening. ”

Madam Yu nodded and said, "Song Ping is right. Jia Yan is staying in Yixin Courtyard. Maybe Yixin Courtyard is someone's lair. Going there to find out the details would be a good way to get to the bottom of the matter." ”

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" shook his head and said, "We can't go. If we alert the enemy, all our efforts will be wasted."

Madam Yu said, "The old man is always indecisive. How can he accomplish anything if he is so indecisive? I, an old lady, will support them."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" laughed and said, "Madam, you are confused. If you work hard in the future, maybe you will be useful. But now you are going to the "Yixinyuan". How can you support them in such a place?" ”

The old lady was startled at first, then her face changed color, as if she was about to quarrel. Hua Yunlong quickly stood up and said, "Madam, please calm down and listen to what I have to say. The reason why I was careless and restrained was that I wanted to find out Jia Yan's background. Now that I know that Jia Yan is living in the "Yixin" brothel, I will handle it myself. I would like to thank you, senior Yu and all the brothers for your help. As for your help, I appreciate it. "He clasped his hands together and made a bow.

Cai Changyi refused to accept the gift and shouted: "Hey, you are so fussy..."

Yuan Yifeng was afraid that he was being impolite, so he quickly interrupted him and said, "Mr. Hua, you are being too polite. Your father's deeds are well-known, and the brothers are just learning from others. We are all doing our duty as human beings. You are just making trouble by saying this."

Yuan Yifeng cupped his fists, laughed, and said, "This is just a joke, Mr. Hua, don't take it seriously. What I mean is that Luoxia Villa is a place for good deeds, and our fellow martial artists have benefited a lot. We sincerely hope to follow your example, on the one hand, to learn from your father's style, and on the other hand, we can also do our best to do something meaningful. If Mr. Hua doesn't let us intervene, we will be unwilling to do so. "These words were milder, but still very sharp and irresistible.

Hua Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Brother Yuan, I have nothing to say when you say this. However, since you are all so polite, I will please not use the three words 'Mr. Hua' in the future. My courtesy name is Yunlong. From now on, I will call you Hua Yunlong or Yunlong. It’s all up to you. If you continue to call me "Young Master", I will leave in anger. Please don't blame me, brothers. ”

Cai Changyi was the most impatient by nature. He clapped his hands and cheered, "Great! Let's put it this way. Whoever calls you young master again will be called this one." He made a "turtle" gesture, which immediately caused another round of laughter that lasted for a long time.

Amidst the laughter, the old lady repeatedly slammed the ground with her cane and said breathlessly: "Don't laugh, don't laugh, let's talk about business." Although she said "don't laugh", in fact she laughed harder than others. Yu Zhaonan's mother choked, and she forced herself to hold back her laughter and repeatedly patted her mother's back.

At this moment, a servant came forward to report, "My Lord, the wine and food are ready. May I ask where they are?"

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" suppressed his laughter and said, "Inner living room." He stood up and said solemnly, "Brother Long, I'd rather obey your orders than be disrespectful. Please, let's drink and talk, and at least come up with a feasible plan."

Hua Yunlong said "it should be so", and Old Madam Yu said: "I think you are the one who is really perverse. Brother Hua has been unconscious for a long time, and you nephews are covered in dust. Are you drinking without washing your face?"

The laughter started again, and the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" said with a laugh, "You are really getting old and confused. Nan'er, take Linghua... take Long'er to wash up. My dear nephews and relatives, please go as you please. Madam, we will wait for you in the living room." As a result, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and the old couple went out first, followed by everyone going to wash up. Yu Zhaonan's figure was comparable to Hua Yunlong's. He took out a new set of clothes from inside to outside and gave them to Hua Yunlong to replace.

Hua Yunlong had a lively personality and he felt very compatible with him. After washing and changing his clothes, he became more energetic and full of vigor. Everyone went to the inner living room one after another. They were free to chat with each other and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. It was rare that the old couple also had the interest of young people. They drank together until the early morning and then left. During the dinner, the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" also asked Hua Yunlong why he left home?

Hua Yunlong concealed nothing and frankly stated that he was "ordered to hunt down the murderer" and narrated in detail what had happened along the way. After listening to it, everyone was silent and regretful for the death of the "Nine-Life Swordsman" and were even more angry at the murderer's mystery and cruelty. However, there was only one conclusion, that is, "a catastrophe is about to come" and the martial arts world will be in trouble from now on. When talking about the impending catastrophe, the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" was very reserved. Regarding the various sections described by Hua Yunlong and the people he met, he only said in general that "there may be a connection". When asked to delve deeper, he was unwilling to comment. But he strongly supported Hua Yunlong's trip to the Southern Wilderness and refused to explain the reasons.

Jia Yan was the most important person at the moment, so Hua Yunlong did not ask much about the rest. Why Jia Yan disappeared from the world is a mystery, the purpose of kidnapping Hua Yunlong is a mystery, and why Hua Yunlong's body was not searched is even more of a mystery. A series of things cannot be uncovered, not to mention other groundless accusations. Therefore, the "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" agreed with Zhu Xiao's opinion - to continue pretending to be a client and find out the details of "Yixinyuan". However, he only agreed to let Yu Zhaonan accompany Hua Yunlong, and the others did not have to go. He always thought that Jia Yan must have fled far away and this trip was unnecessary. As for why he asked Yu Zhaonan and Hua Yunlong to go together, it was because they were both parties involved in the case, and his reasons were very sufficient.

If "Yixinyuan" is a haunted den, Jia Yan must have known about the kidnapping. Hiding everything about Jia Yan is expected. If the matter needs to be investigated, the person must be appropriate. After Hua Yunlong was rescued, it was reasonable for Yu Zhaonan, as an experienced person, to take him to find out the whereabouts of Jia Yan. Even if there was little gain, it would not cause "Yixinyuan" itself to feel that the case had been solved, thus raising their vigilance. This was his foresight. He didn't want the clue to be interrupted at once, so Zhu Xiao no longer insisted.

However, there was one exception, and that person was the more reckless Cai Changyi. Cai Changyi seemed to have a special affinity with Hua Yunlong and was unwilling to part with him. He argued that he was also involved and was present when the man was rescued. They continued to quarrel until the banquet was over. The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" was so annoyed by his noise that he had no choice but to agree to let him go. This made him happy, and he jumped up and shouted, "Prepare the horses, prepare the horses."

The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" shook his head and said, "Changyi, this trip is a secret visit, you must be patient and don't ruin Long Ge'er's business."

Cai Changyi nodded and said, "Nephew, I understand. I won't say anything when we get to Yixinyuan." ”

At this time, everyone was in the front yard, and a servant had already prepared three horses. The "Jiangnan Confucian Doctor" waved his hand and said, "Get on the horses. The sooner you go, the sooner you will get something. It's best not to do anything tonight."

Others might not understand the last two sentences, but Hua Yunlong was very smart and understood them immediately. He just smiled slightly, cupped his hand and said, "I know what I am doing. It's a cold night and the dew is heavy. Please go back, old senior." He took the reins, jumped on the horse, said "See you later, brothers", and rode away with Yu Zhaonan. The moon was bright and clear, and the three men had sharp eyesight, so they rode their horses at full speed without worrying about making any mistakes.

However, after passing the Drum Tower and entering West Prince's Palace Street, the pedestrian flow gradually became crowded, so they had no choice but to rein in their horses and walk slowly. The three men were all dressed like young men from noble families. They were handsome and rode strong horses. They rode slowly with reins pulled, attracting many admiring glances. Yu Zhaonan's nickname was "Mengchang's Advance". Many people knew the "Five Young Masters of Jinling". Along the way, many people came up to him deliberately to say hello, and his pace of progress slowed down.

Cai Changyi was a straightforward person. He had something on his mind and was very impatient with the person who came to him to make friends. He ignored him and frowned tightly. Although Hua Yunlong also felt impatient, he had just arrived in Jinling and had a fresh feeling. Looking around, he could still endure it. After a while, Hua Yunlong suddenly saw Cai Changyi frowning, and he was distracted. He thought to himself, "Brother Cai is straightforward and honest, and he is a man of character. He is a very kind person. I can't miss the opportunity to make friends with him." As he thought about this, his interest suddenly increased. He pulled up the reins and asked slowly, "Brother Changyi has lived in Nanjing for generations?"

Cai Changyi was feeling extremely impatient, but when he heard Hua Yunlong's question, he immediately relaxed his brows, grinned, and said, "Yeah, what about you?" As soon as he said this, he realized that the question was redundant, and hurriedly added, "We should talk about our ages to see who is older. It's not appropriate to confuse 'brother' and 'brother' like this." ”

Hua Yunlong smiled slightly and said, "I was born on the 19th day of the first month of the year of Renshen. I am 17 years old this year. How about Brother Changyi?"

Cai Changyi laughed and said, "I have a clue. I was born in the year of Xinwei, which means I am exactly two years older than you."

Hua Yunlong smiled and said, "I'm not at a disadvantage. Brother Changyi will take care of me in the future..."

Cai Changyi felt relieved and laughed heartily, saying, "Take care of each other, take care of each other."

Hua Yunlong said: "This person is also modest, not stupid." He asked: "But I don't know who your master is?"

Cai Changyi said: "The martial arts inherited from my family are very rare."

Hua Yunlong smiled secretly and asked, "Are your uncles and aunts still alive? How many brothers are there?"

Cai Changyi said, "My father passed away many years ago, and I only have one sister." He suddenly opened his eyes wide and said seriously, "I'm telling you, my sister is a tigress. You have to be careful when you see her in the future."

Suddenly, Yu Zhaonan said, "Be careful, we're here." As they were chatting, they arrived at the gate of "Yixinyuan" without realizing it.

Hua and Cai were just stunned when they saw a brothel owner coming up to them, bowing and smiling towards Yu Zhaonan, saying, "Master Yu has just arrived, and Sister Yan has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in, Sister Yan has prepared a banquet and is waiting for you in the room." This was unexpected, and upon hearing this, the three of them were stunned on their horses and forgot to dismount.
